Wine pairing: Crisp, lemony, herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc. Best in our pairing: St. Supry 2004 (Napa Valley; $19), Girard 2005 (Napa Valley; $15), and Morgan 2004 (Monterey, CA; $15).

Sauvignon Blanc

Wine

Flavor bridges: Lamb--especially spring lamb--is a blank slate and can be pushed in disparate wine directions with different seasonings. A grassy, citrusy Sauvignon Blanc picks up the dill and lemon in the marinade and even green, grassy notes in the olive oil (a fruity wine would fight all of the above). High acid in the wine is good for cutting through charred meats.
