Lamb and Vegetable Sauce for Festive Pasta

The classic pairing for a lamb dish is a Bordeaux, and I think that would definitely work well with this dish. The wine that comes to mind is Chateau Beaulieu Bordeaux Comtes de Tastes. Made primarily from Merlot, the deep ruby/purple-tinged red displays sweet, elegant notes of blueberries, black cherries, cedar and spice box. Medium-bodied with surprising richness and purity as well as impressive equilibrium, this well-made Bordeaux Superieur can compete with some classified growths. If you're anything like me, your mouth is watering at the thought of this wonderful pairing!
