The holiday season and colder weather always reminds me of Mulled Wine. Its history can be traced back to Medieval Europe where when wine went bad, it was often sweetened with honey or sugar, and flavored with spices to make it consumable again.

Here in Portland we drink a little Pinot and eat a little lamb. I was recently a judge at the Lamb Jam 2012 PDX and the event was awesome as were the dishes. The Pinot noir flowed liked the Willamette river and the lamb was being devoured like we were in the last days. Great article and thanks for letting people know about one of the best wine pairings in the world. Remember to eat American Lamb as it is 10,000 miles fresher and drink Oregon pinot noir because it is the best Pinot noir made in America.
