Wondering what goes well with the leg of lamb for Easter? A good bottle of red Burgundy does and almost every wine store can sell you one.

Lamb has a big range of exciting flavours and loads of lip smacking grease. Red Burgundy is made from Pinot Noir and this matches a roasted lamb leg to perfection. Pinot Noir responds well in the vineyard to nurture and care. That takes cash. If you want Pinot to sip on the sunny patio then inexpensive is fine but for the roast I really do recommend trading up. It doesn't have to be a lot but price, wine maker and appellation and even vintage do matter in Burgundy.

Just after Easter the Discover the Origin campaign will arrive into Cork. I will deliver the Masterclass seminar on the wines of Burgundy. Seminars in Galway and Dublin have already taken place and both went really well. All of the wines used have been sent over from the School of Wine at HQ Burgundy (BIVB) in Beaune and are absolutely excellent teaching wines. Here's the programme:
‘Discover the
Origin’ is an established European Union campaign designed to raise awareness
around five Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) products:
Burgundy Wines
Parma Ham
Douro Wines
Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese
Port Wines
Each product in
the Discover the Origin campaign is unique to the region in which it is
produced
– a gastro destination – and celebrated the world over for its flavours, history and traditions.
