EASTER braised #lamb shank with a sauce made with white wine, shallots, carrots, celery, raisins, honey, and apricot jelly. Served with vanilla flavored mashed yellow potatoes, plus asparagus with garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. The meal is inspired by my time in Piemonte, Italy, cooking, and visiting family.

#RIP #Wine #Merlot #NapaValley #Duckhorn

RIP #MargaretDuckhorn. 😦

I was a member of the Duckhorn Vineyard for many years but I was and am mainly a fan of their #AndersonValley #PinotNoir -- #Goldeneye.

Have tasted their Merlots which are good, but I've never bought them them because there are so many varietals that you have to focus on the ones you like most.

For me, those are #SauvigonBlanc, #PinotNoir, #CabernetSauvignon & #Zinfindal.
