Nice picks Michael, I’ll do the same. [cheers.gif]

Forgot to ask the OP, and slight thread drift, but what makes the rack of lamb “Genghis Khan”? Love a nice rack of lamb and have to admire ole Ghengis carving out his place in history, whether you liked his politics or not, so this dish is intriguing to me.

For the last several years, I’ve opened a Port to bridge the old and new year. This year it will be the 1983 Graham.

#24

Curious here, too.

Perhaps, lamb was pillaged, raped and then slaughtered?

#25

Always looking for a new Rack of Lamb rub/marinade/grill technique. Usually one of the more successful and quick options…and I love tossing the bones over my shoulder.

I had the 1968 Sebastiani earlier this year as part of a 1968 horizontal celebrating several friends’ 50th birthdays (including Mike Grammer), and it was showing fairly well and had at least a few more years of life left in it.
