Comments on: Pairing: Amisfield Pinot Noir with Braised Lamb Shanks http://www.wineskinny.com/2009/01/25/pairing-amisfield-pinot-noir-with-braised-lamb-shanks/ I'm Robyn Tinsley and WineSkinny.com is where I write about the wines that intersect my life, meals, travels and interests. After more than a decade of writing about wine in a more general way, I am focusing on the things that matter to me now: natural, whole, seasonal foods; my progression toward some kind of vegetarian/vegan lifestyle (but I cannot even imagine giving up cheese); learning to live in the moment; and the wines that somehow connect all those dots.

Any woman who can cook like she does, has an accent and is easy on the eyes gets my attention. But aside from that I do like the pairing of lamb and pinot noir, though I love the pairing of lamb and shiraz. I'm sure to try this recipe with any number of varietals!

There's just something about the slightly gamey taste of lamb that seems to work with the delicate, smooth, feminine Pinot. With this particular recipe, I also really like all those aromatic spices with Pinot. The wine is not so big and rich that it will overwhelm the spices like a Cabernet might, for example. Hope this helps! Pinot and lamb is a classic pairing — and beyond just relying on that, I enjoy it just about every time!

I don't have a slow cooker, so I'm not sure about adapting recipes... But if you figure it out, I"d love to know -- and I bet other readers would, too!
