Hello Crofut Family Winery,
I visited your winery for the first time last June. I'm originally from Minnesota, but have lived in Maryland/DC for the last 11 years. I was home visiting my folks who live in Jordan and they were very high on paying a visit to your vineyard. I picked up a couple of bottles to bootleg back to Maryland, as our wine & liquor laws remain in the dark ages. This past weekend, I opened up a bottle of your 2008 Frontenac Rose to pair with a leg of lamb we were making for Sunday dinner as we cleaned up from over 24 inches of snow here in the Washington DC suburbs.
The leg of lamb last night was HEAVENLY. We paired it with your Frontenac Rose and it was truly a blessed union, the flavors were so complementary, we could have used a couple of bottles. The recipe, which is in English measurements, is below.
In addition to converting the measurements, we slightly altered some of the ingredients, like using Lingonberry jelly for the Red Currant jelly. Of course some of the Crofut wine was included in cooking up the Lamb Gravy as well as enjoyed during the consumption of the meal!

Thank you for offering such a delicious wine and adding to such a wonderful meal!
