Lamb Chops with Rosemary and Grapes
"You'd expect to find lamb chops grilled with rosemary, but the sauce, a fruity mixture of grapes, white wine and just a touch of honey, is a delightful surprise. You'll want to choose seedless grapes for this recipe. WINE RECOMMENDATIONCabernet sauvignon is classic with lamb, but a European cabernet will taste austere against the slightly sweet sauce here. Instead, try a California or Washington State cabernet, which will be fruity enough to blend with the sweetness...."
