Barbequed lamb chops and Syrah

April 23, 2012

With Spring in full swing, it’s time to get the BBQ out and start grilling. And one of my favorite recipes for the BBQ is my Dad’s marinated lamb chops. My Dad has always been the cook in the house and I have to say that many of our meals at the dinner table growing up are still some of my favorites. And his marinated lamb chops are certainly one of them, especially on a sunny day in the back yard.

What goes into the marinade is so fresh and bright; it’s perfect for Spring. With all the fresh dill, you’ll want to wave your nose over the marinade just to take in the fragrance. And though we traditionally use lamb chops, other cuts of lamb will work with this recipe as well. Marinate for at least a couple of hours to overnight and grill them till medium-rare. They also go particularly well with our Three Coins Syrah.

Grilled Lamb Chop Marinade: (For about 6 lamb chops)

- ½ cup olive oil

- ¼ cup soy sauce

- 4 tablespoons of white vinegar

- 1 small chopped white onion

- 1 tablespoon of chopped garlic

- A couple shakes of Tabasco sauce

- A large handful of chopped fresh dill

- Freshly ground pepper

Reserve now for your next holiday getaway in wine country!

Are you still recovering from the holiday weekend filled with food and wine? How about adding a vineyard backdrop to the celebration? Spring has sprung at our Knights Valley vineyard and our estate rental properties are booking fast for holiday weekends throughout the year.

Distinctly different, our wine country rental properties all share one distinctive characteristic – they are, each in their own charming way, the perfect place to relax with friends or family, and share a great meal with fine wine.

Just four minutes from Calistoga in Napa and 25 minutes from the Sonoma County airport in Santa Rosa, all of our rental properties have a wonderful sense of privacy, panoramic views, pools and landscaping. The custom-decorated beds are as comfortable and cozy as they are inviting, and each estate features a gourmet kitchen set up and ready for cooking those great meals to pair with fine wines.

Gather family and friends and book a weekend at the vineyard! Whether it’s at the Farmhouse in the Vineyard, the Lodge in the Trees, or the Retreat on the Knoll, we look forward to accommodating your next retreat to wine country.
