asking the tough questions

we are going to a lebanese easter dinner. so I went to the local purveyor of fine wine and asked the clerk what she would recommend for a lebanese easter dinner. the usually knowledgeable merchant stared confusedly at me:

"um... so does that mean spicy?"
"don't know. it will involve ham."
"spicy ham?"

we settled on her favourite merlot and called it a day.

Merlot is perfect!

Convention would suggest that ham be accompanied by your favourite rose. A dry french syrah perhaps.
