LCBO Food & Drink Autumn 2018

BBQ Lamb with Roasted Vegetables and Crispy Baked Potato Chips with Creekside Syrah VQA LCBO 66654, $15.95 Ontario lamb is as good as any we’ve tasted, especially when you cook it on the barbecue and get all the juicy gradations in the meat from crispy to medium-rare. We’ve taken our wine-matching lead from Australia and paired it up with a Syrah, though ours is from Niagara not Oz. Creekside planted Syrah almost 20 years ago and has stuck by the cold-sensitive variety when many other growers gave up. Robust, medium-bodied, tangy and full of black cherry, plum and black pepper flavours, it’s a little bit of an unexpected choice, just like our potato chip side dish—a fun change from other potato recipes.
