Venison

doganjo · Venison

Not having had to choose a wine to go with venison before - John dealt with that - can anyone recommend one please.

Also has anyone given the bones to dogs before? They are drooling, and it's not into the oven yet.

I give the bones to mine - uncooked

Annie has pretty well lived on venison since Easter (and will continue to do so for a few months yet), always un-cooked though, she must be the best fed dog in the street by a long shot.
We even bring the hoof's (bottom joint on legs) home, freeze them and hide them in the yard (one at a time every week or so) she loves it.
Not sure what wine would be best with venison but I'm quite partial to a good pinot.
Cheers,
Waldo

This is for Le Tresurier! So the wine must be right - he is fanatical about what wine goes with what food! And I am a complete numpty on wine!

It has now been roasted and frozen - does that mean I can't give the dogs the bones in case they splinter?

How about a nice Cabernet Sauvignon? Though personally I'd swill it down with a pint of bitter

Hmm do you think I should try Tesco or ASDA? Wink

I personally would not serve him French wine at all. How about a nice South African Pinotage, or something from Aus or NZ.

Get one of the 'on offer' or bin end bottles - reduced from something unfordable to just about bearable.

Don't forget the wine for the starter and the wine for the dessert.....all should be different Exclamation

Oh, and then there's the aperitif and also the digestif as well Wink

You should have said....I've got some plum/blackberry/damson brandies working up a storm in the airing cupboard. They've been there since last August so should be just about ready Exclamation

and cheese before dessert.

And champagne sorbet in between courses to clear the palate as well as petit fours after dessert Exclamation

Lets face it, if you're going to try and make a impression you might as well go the whole hog Exclamation

Failing that just take them round to MacDonalds Wink

Ok enuff enuff Wink

He's in Scotland not the bliddy Paris Hilton!" He'll get three courses like everyone else! Might go for a non French wine though - Pinotage sounds nice.

Aussie shiraz is nice.

Lin Dyke

I'd go with Shiraz (Syrah) with the Venison or maybe a Cab Sav/Shiraz. Boschendal from South Africa is particularly good. Very Happy

Whatever you decide ENJOY Very Happy

My wine buff son-in-law suggested Cab Sauv or Pinot Noir - Aussie ones. Will check my wine cellar tomorrow - all 10 bottles! Wink
