Bbbbrrrrr… Sometimes life calls for Irish stew like Danny Boys pipes. Simple lamb stew to keep this family warm. Paired with Forefront Cab blend from Napa, Lake and Sonoma counties. Deep rich velvet, cinnamon bark and blackberries. Perfect balance to this fireplace comfort food pairing.

Not a soda bread but a hearty cracked wheat bread I whipped up using a very fast and convenient receipt I found online. Great accompaniment to the stew especially topped with white truffle butter.
