Everyone loves Merlot. It is a marvelous drinking wine. It is smooth and rich, it has a universally likeable flavor and texture that goes with any medium flavor food. It is at its best with beef and lamb and can also be used with venison, antelope, elk, sheep, duck, goose and squab. But would not use a Merlot with strong tasting game such as moose or caribou.
A Sirah is generally lighter and fruitier that a Cabernet, and like a Cabernet Sauvignon, you can say that any light tasting red meat game goes with this wine. Is preferred above all others for the finer cuts of venison, antelope and of course duck, pigeon and dove. Goose, has a somewhat heavier flavor therefore a heartier red is preffered with it. But realy, any of the lighter red meats goes well with a good Sirah. It is a favorite red with fine cuts of game but this is a matter of personal preference.
Chardonnay is an extremely versatile food wine and is best taken with seafood and poultry dishes, particularly those with distinctive flavors like Chicken, Pork, Veal, Turkey, Wild Turkey, Quail, Partridges of all kinds, lobster, crab, tuna, red snapper and also with light mild cheeses.
Zinfandel may be one of the most unusual grapes around. It is a wine, widely grown in California whose origins are really unknown. The best Zinfandel grapes grow in cool coastal locations. They yield dry, full-bodied, intensely flavored red wines with substantial tannins. Premium Zins are rich and peppery, with a lush texture and ripe fruit flavors. It is delicious with goose complimenting its somewhat heavier flavor than duck. It goes best with game stews, and more highly flavored meats like elk, bear, Boar, Caribou and Moose.
Riesling is the most popular German wine. Its exact origines are unknown but the vine probably originated in the upper Rhine in the 16th century. After 1500 it was the vine of the Rhine and Mosel. Over 500 years influenced the wine as well. Its taste has many variations and the possibilities to describe it are endless. It is an elegant wine, lively, fresh, full of flavour and fragrant.
There are many grades of Riesling from the fine Kabinett to the noble Auslese. The Riesling goes with light meal like chicken, veal, pork, fish, Wild Turkey, Quail, Pheasant and fresh cheese. But you can serve a dry Spätlese with stronger tasting meals, too.
Shiraz is a full bodied wine, rich, dark, full bodied, heavy in tannin and peppery, with a lush texture and ripe fruit flavors, it is delicious with lamb beef, duck and goose complimenting their somewhat heavier flavors. It also goes with and more highly flavored meats like Elk, bear, Boar,Sheep, Caribou and Moose.
Sauvignon Blanc (also called Fume Blanc) is one of the great white wines. It is an extremely versatile and drinkable wine In France, Sauvignon Blanc is the mother grape Pouilly Fume has the capacity to enoble plain, simple seafood, and will hold up nicely to herbal preparations (thyme, rosemary, basil, tarragon, coriander and white meats such as chicken, veal, turkey and pork. The wine has vibrant flavors that go surprisingly well with spicy and ethnic cuisines, as well as traditional French fare.
