    Nice video but 3 cups of a $25 bottle of wine & other costs (lamb)is too pricey a dish in this economy. Also, love figs (seasonal) but not with this combo. Affordability beats out Creativity!

  74. Norman R. Miles, Jr.Sun, August 09, 2009 @ 2:45 PM
    There are afordable cuts of lamb and I think this is a contest for Santa Margharita wines which are high quality and so might seem pricy but a bargin for the quality. Also this is making a full meal.
