Grilled Eggplant with Garlic-Cumin Vinaigrette, Feta & Herbs Paired with On Point “Christinna’s Cuvee” Pinot Noir, California.
September 28, 2012
I’m going to go out on a limb and say this is my first vegetarian pairing. Of course I couldn’t make the WHOLE meal vegetarian…I’m just not quite there yet…not that I want to offend any carrot munchers that might be reading this! Since the Grilled Eggplant with Garlic-Cumin Vinaigrette is a Mediterranean-esque recipe, I decided to throw some lamb into the mix.
You don’t eat enough lamb! I’ve already decided this for you. You should, but you don’t! Why is that? Lamb, when cooked correctly (i.e. served no higher than a medium-rare cooking temp) is 10x the meat that beef will ever be! The problem is that people have a tendency to cook the arse (ass, if you’re American) out of it, which ends up giving it the texture of an old boot. I think your “end of the year resolution” should be to eat more lamb, if not only for it’s ability to pair EXCELLENTLY with Pinot Noir! This pairing was a given. I would have been stunned if it hadn’t worked!
