It is bold enough to stand up to the rich flavours of the lamb, whilst being subtle enough not to overpower it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For dessert, Gorgonzola Cheescake, paired with\u00a0a <i>Bouchard Finlayson Missionvale Chardonnay 2011<\/i>, offers the evening\u2019s piece d\u2019 resistance.
