Deer ragout with red cabbage and pheasant wrapped in bacon or tenderly fried deer liver with potato puree. Game is a time for enjoyment and is topped off with the right wine accompaniment.
Combining game with wine is relatively easy, especially since there are many options for the right accompaniment. Red wine is always set. A noble Pinot Noir or a St. Laurent harmonize just as much as a fruity Zweigelt, a full-bodied Blaufränkisch or an international cuvée.
