Venison stew, hare or duck call for a red wine with ripe fruit and gentle spice, such as Pinot Noir, Syrah or a Rioja Crianza. They stand up to the rich flavours without overpowering the sweetness of red cabbage or poached pears.
With a gourmet grill everything is on the table at once: meat, fish and vegetables. Choose a supple red such as a Beaujolais or a light Merlot, and add a fresh white such as a Sauvignon Blanc.
Scallops, salmon or lobster: a fresh white wine with minerality, such as Sancerre or Chablis, or a creamier Chardonnay when the sauce contains butter or cream.
Chocolate and red fruit pair well with a sweet red wine or a Ruby Port. With blue cheese, a dessert wine or a port is a classic.
