You'll get rave reviews when you serve this to your guests! To save more time, you can prepare the wine sauce up to a day in advance and refrigerate, just before serving heat on top of the stove. This recipe (2 racks of lamb) will serve 4 people, if you are serving more just purchase 4 racks of lamb, double the ingredients for the lamb and also double the sauce ingredients. Ingredients:
