So what goes with roasted leg of lamb, cut green beans and polenta with mushrooms?

An old-vine Zin. It will really bring out the flavor in that roasted lamb ... and it should make the polenta taste even better.

Barring that, a really strong Pinot Noir.

I'm so glad I didn't have a mouthful of scotch when I read that. It's too expensive to spit over my keyboard!

LMAO!!!

All joking aside, Foxy One ... I'm guessing the G30 tastes great?

After about 20 years, there seems to be a war between mellowness + developing flavors ... and too much woodiness. I hope the G30 came out on that right side of that war. :thumbup:
 
I try it with the leftovers tonight. Did a southern france sparkling wine last night. :thumbup: Not the best with lamb but no hangovers. :D

A nice Zen or Merlot, the nine year old can have cranberry juice. Sorry I'm late.

I'm enjoying another large one right now - I've just one more good glassful left :( ... but it's been an experience :thumbup:

It's certainly mellow, and so am I after a glassful. To me some notes of honey, a touch of citrus and just a hint of smoky peat come though. No detectable woodiness. It's a really smooth drink. My wife certainly treated me with this one. Last year it was 18yo Glenmorangie. Can't afford to drink this stuff as a regular but it's been worth it for a treat!

My palate (or rather, my nose) is a little insensitive to some things though, due to making sulphuric acid (to subsequently make nitric acid :D ) when I was a kid and breathing in too many fumes! I'm completely insensitive to some smells. That's probably why I like really spicy and highly fragrant food.

Luckily, it has not dulled your enjoyment of a fine single malt. :thumbup:

That sounds like one I'd enjoy, too. I'll add it to the long, long list. My consumption has slowed way down -- which is excellent for the pocketbook.

After viewing all those pictures of Mr. G's culinary experiments, I'm quite confident the pairing will be a complete success.

Tony G's time in San Francisco has not been wasted. In addition to his formidable biking skills, I suspect his culinary skills are impressive -- as impressive in reality as they are to the camera. :D:thumbup:
