What is a good wine pairing with lamb chops?

Pinot noir, Bordeaux blends, and the Italian reds mentioned earlier all pair well with lamb chops, but you can also venture into medium- and full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot if that suits your tastes.

What vegetables do you serve with moussaka?

Serve the moussaka with a chunky tomato, cucumber, parsley and mint salad and crusty bread.

Does Shiraz go with lamb?

If you're not keen on Cab, go for a good Rioja Reserva with some bottle age, or look towards Syrah / Shiraz. A Northern Rhône Syrah will enhance your roast lamb. Some wines will offer a touch of pepper spice in the glass that can also work beautifully with the texture of the meat.

What is the best wine to serve with pork tenderloin?

Both red and white burgundy work well (unsurprisingly) with this classic French bistro dish which is often made with pork tenderloin. Other cool climate unoaked or subtly oaked Chardonnay or Pinot Noir should work too as would a dry Alsace Riesling or Pinot Gris or a Vouvray.

Is there a difference between Cabernet and Cabernet Sauvignon?

The two are related: Cabernet Sauvignon is a cross between Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc. But Cabernet Sauvignon is a red wine grape, and has success in many parts of the world, most notably in California's Napa Valley and France's Bordeaux region, where it is blended with other grapes to make stately red wines.
