Lamb is perfect on Easter or any day for that matter. We always bring lamb chops with us to St. Maarten too.

John and Bev--you should check out the lamb chops at Super U sometime. We have purchased them there several times and they were excellent.

Good, better than lamb we bought at la Ferme in Marigot! The chicken legs were not good either. Sorry LF, but you can't beat Bell & Evans or lamb we get in Maine!

We brought them as well along with some steaks. Nice to grill in some nights.

Where is it Carol? Guess I'll google! We were disappointed and thought it was going to be awesome Easter dinner..NOT!

singbeach--Super U is in Marigot, right by the McDonalds , and also in Hope Estate.

pandp--We always bring steaks and a few other things along also. Just never brought lamb.

Same here Carol. Not only do we bring lamb but also Steaks, Smoked Pork chops, wild king salmon both raw and smoked and sometimes frozen marinated boneless chicken thighs. Being there for over three weeks at a time we just can't eat restaurant food every day. Not a problem bringing it as we are allowed to check 2 bags apiece.

The lamb from Super U is devine and less expensive than from home. All the meats look great there.

I made rack of lamb for Easter with scalloped potatoes, and garlic green beans and served a Sancere. Hubby limits his red meat intake and he devoured it. After we had cherry ricotta pie.

I know Sancerre is a white wine made from the Sauvignon Blanc grape from the Sancerre region of France and is a white varietal but that region also produces some fine Pinot Noirs. Surprised you chose a white instead of a red with lamb. Menu selection sounded great.

RonDon--we always bring steaks and burgers, but usually buy lamb on island, as it does seem very good there, and cheaper than at home, versus the beef.

Actually, there are both red and white Sancerres.

That's what I said. The region produces both.

Laporte Les Royaux Sancerre 2020, a delicious RED. is what we had.

Scuba if you want the rest of the menu:

we started with a cold creamy spinach soup with lemon and mint and served La Vauvise Sancerre, a Loire white 2019. So both white & red were covered.

Well handled and I'm sure well paired with the food.

No, what you said is that you know Sancerre is a white, and that you were surprised that they had white wine with their lamb. You did mention the red varietals, but you were very clear about your belief that their wine was the white varietal.

All righty then. Let's move on folks.

Did you not understand this.
"Sancerre region of France and is a white varietal but that region also produces some fine Pinot Noirs."
The Pinot Noir is a RED from the Sancerre Region if you didn't already know. Sancerre is a type of wine usually associated as a white wine made with the Sauvignon Blanc grape and also a recognized region that produces both white and red wines.

This one is done.
