basil.

 

[limulus]

Amarone

 

[Spoony]

red wine

 

[Redneck]

Liquid type in quantity

 

[paul k]

Venison is quite strong in flavour so you need a robust red wine, something like a Shiraz, Cote du Rhone or Pinotage.

Amarone??

lovely choice but me thinks better with walnuts after the venison?? then you can drink whole bottle !

 

[limulus]

I think you're thinking of amaretto. Amarone is an Italian wine (in my opinion the best Italian wine)

 

[jamross65]

A good Zinfandel would be my choice.

No, I spent years in the booze business, I do mean Amarone. In my opinion it has a quality that is great as an after dinner wine, one that you would continue with well into the evening !

No, I'm sorry mate, but well into the evening is malt time up here...

 

[John Gryphon]

Grange Hermitage ...look it up!

 

[Eyefor]

Malbec

Wine with venison? Whiskey!~Muir

 

[mattwarduk]

roasted a Muntjac shoulder yesterday and it was really warm and muggy in Leeds so had a bottle of really chilled Sancerre with it..... worked well for a change.

Malbec

+1 on the Malbec, a lovely Argentinian full bodied red.

Ah yes, a nice cheap Pauillac, should do nicely. By cheap I do of course mean 'good value' at 19.50 a bottle, which of course you'd need at least two of (just to make sure you understand)....oh hang on, the decimal's in the wrong place.....:!:. Pushing the boat out? Only if it's a Sunseeker....or the QE2, Limulus.....!!
More a Lafite man myself, but wouldn't turn my nose up at Latour or a Margaux, Haut-Brion or a Talbot...... or many another from '82..... a truly great year.

Back to earth with a large thump and another vote for a good old vine Zinfandel - somewhat easier to source than some of the above......
