Let me say right off the bat that these small meatballs in gravy, which is the way they're made and served in Sweden, are nothing special, even though they're called mouthwatering on the menu; however, they come with a side of lingonberry jam, and that's a game changer. The tart lingonberry jam is the perfect foil for the savory meatballs, and it also went well with the wine I'd chosen: Timbre 2009 Rose from the Central Coast of California. It was dry in a nice way, refreshing, and it had a beautiful salmon color. The meatballs at this wine and tapas place were served in a cast iron skillet placed on a wooden board. For the price, I could hardly believe that I got sixteen meatballs, but they were small enough so I could eat them all. I'm pretty sure now that the addition of lingonberry jam is what makes these meatballs Swedish.
