Greek Souvlakia - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    5 lbs boneless leg of lamb
    1 cup extra virgin olive oil
    1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
    1/2 cup good Burgundy wine
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    1 tablespoon dried oregano
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    2 bay leaves
Preparation
    Cut lamb into 1-1/2\" cubes, trimming the fat.
    Combine all of the ingredients in a gallon\"zipper\" bag.
    Shake well to combine.
    To achieve the best flavor, marinate 24 hours in the refrigerator, shaking a few times.
    Put lamb on metal skewers with each chunk touching, but not tightly.
    This will taste best on a good, hot charcoal fire.
    Turn often on the grill, and they should be done in about 15-20 minutes.
    Dont put vegetables in between the meat, as they just do not grill well together.
    Please use a good burgundy or full bodied red wine, that you would enjoy drinking by itself, not that stuff they call\"cooking wine\".
