Wine of the Week

Bring on the roasted lamb! This beautifully balanced yet lush Ribera del Duero is just the wine for it. Right out of the bottle, its lilting perfume of violets, raspberries and oak will pull you into the glass. It would shine with duck and sheep’s milk cheeses too.

About $16. Available at The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills, (800) 547-1515; Wine Expo in Santa Monica, (310) 828-4428; The Wine House in Los Angeles, (310) 479-3731; Hi-Time Wine Cellars in Costa Mesa, (949) 650-8463; Wine Exchange in Orange, (714) 974-1454; and Vendome Liquors in Studio City, (818) 766-5272 and Toluca Lake, (818) 766-9593, among others.
