Re: Casbah [Pittsburgh, PA] Dessert & Fortified Wines
That's certainly a pretty good and varied list of dessert wines for most places, but at $22 for a pour (how big?), instead of two pours I might just want to go buy a bottle of 2001 Vesuvio ($46.89 at one source in NY). But I suppose that's typical?
As for lamb, I'm happy to drink any Port from the ruby family with it. I suppose a dryer label would be better, but that also might depend on how the lamb is prepared.
