Wine and food pairing ⅩⅩⅤ:lamb

Lamb is a classic match with red Bordeaux to the extent that the local flag of the commune Pauillac carries a picture of a sheep!
So Bordeaux is my first choice, especially when the lamb is cooked with rosemary and other herbs to match the natural herbaceous quality of the wine. But just about any dry red is fine, including Burgundies, Rhones, New World Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot or Syrah/Shiraz, and Northern Italian reds.

Fine Spanish reds, including those from Rioja and Ribera del Duero, deserve to be added to your list. --Craig Schweickert
