Venison

[Irish Lurcher 1,013]

Tomorrow I plan to cook a venison casserole; I have a very special lady coming for dinner, so want to keep a smile on her face.

 

My question is what wine would complement the meal.

 

ps the bottle in the pic is empty

Don`t ask for names, but a good fruity red wine. Make sure you open it about two to three hours before serving it at room temperature.

Good luck with the event.

I did say a lady was coming over, not a wee boy

Probably a bit late for a reply now. But incase you need it for another opportunity????

 

I would reccomend a Chateuneuf Du Pape. Very complex peppery flavour, just works a treat. Can be quite alcoholic as well, ie 13.5%. So can act as a mood enhancer .

 

Definately one to leave on the table as well. If she's in to wine, she will be impressed....

Not trying to be clever but wine is opened prior to serving to allow it t breathe ,and there is a misconception about reds and room temperature ,thats' a little outdated now due to central heating. I wouldnt have an open bottle on a dining room table for three hours the wine could go a little flabby,I would keep it in a cool room or cupboard ,till about a half hour before it is needed. A Burgundy would go well with venison .it allways has for me at any rate.
