TC Recipe: Leg of Lamb with Blueberry Basil Relish
By Executive Chef Benjamin Nadolny
Suggested Pairing: 2009 NxNW Columbia Valley Cuvée
Serves 2

| We have had a spectacular blueberry harvest at King Estate this year. Our gardener, Jessie Russell, has redefined what a quality blueberry should be. So of course I am eating handfuls of fresh blueberries daily and putting them on everything. When I put the blueberries with some of our fresh basil I knew the combination was recipe worthy. The Cuvée has some blueberry notes of its own so this wine became an easy bridge on the palate. Pairing this wine with lamb is just wonderful every time. The basil provides a floral spicy tone that works to clean the palate between bites while maintaining a slight basil aroma. I suggest serving this dish with chanterelles and sweet corn while they are in season. The blueberry relish is also great with seafood, poultry or pork. |
