So: what wine to pair with your roast lamb? Our answers might surprise you.Lamb is a classic in the wine matching pantheon. But it's not as easy as it may first seem. In fact, we'd argue a lot of supposed matches are way off the mark.Lamb is a very delicate red meat so needs a specific kind of wine to get the best out of the combination. Sometimes (in fact, really quite often) the best style of wine to pair with lamb is.....white.Failing that, an elegant red - but beware even the so-called classic pairings, because they don't all work, as we explain.This episode is part of our food-and-wine matching mini-series brought to you in association with Wine Club by Majestic.
