Red · Full · Dry
Argentina's signature grape: deep purple, plummy, and remarkably smooth for its weight. Soft tannins and a touch of cocoa make it the dinner-party Cabernet alternative — and far easier on the wallet.

Red · Full · Dry
The benchmark for full-bodied red — structured, age-worthy, unapologetic. Black currant, graphite, and tobacco lead into firm tannins that demand protein on the plate. Decant young bottles; cellar the serious ones.

Red · Full · Dry
Shiraz's more reserved European cousin — Northern Rhône style, all violets, black olive, and white pepper. Less brawn, more poise; pairs as well with lamb as with peppered duck breast.

Red · Full · Dry
California's brawler — jammy blackberry, brambly spice, and 15% alcohol that hides behind the fruit. Built for ribs, brisket, and anything that came off a grill.

White · Light · Dry
Citrus, cut grass, and a wire of acid. Marlborough makes it loudest; Sancerre makes it most refined. Either way, it cuts cleanly through goat cheese, herbs, and anything with shellfish.

White · Full · Dry
California's flagship white — rounder, riper, and oakier than the Old World original, with tropical fruit, butter, and vanilla. Sonoma Coast and Sta. Rita Hills bottlings are leaner; Napa stays plush.
Why it works with Mustard And Rosemary-roasted Game Hens
American Chardonnay's weight handles Mustard And Rosemary-roasted Game Hens better than you'd expect; try it for white-meat cuts especially.
White · Medium · Dry
California and Pacific Northwest Gewürztraminer — lychee, rose petal, ginger, made riper and fuller than Alsace. The American spicy-food companion.
Why it works with Roast Game Hens With Pineapple Glaze
American Gewürztraminer's body and acid balance Roast Game Hens With Pineapple Glaze's flavor profile.
Red · Full · Dry
Barolo's slightly softer sibling — same Nebbiolo grape, lighter touch, ready to drink younger. Elegance over power, with a perfume of violets and a long, savory finish.
Why it works with Roast Game
Barbaresco's weight matches Roast Game's heft; the tannins keep the palate clean between bites.
Burgundy's Grand Cru on the border of Chambolle and Morey — Pinot Noir with weight and depth, drinking like a cross between the two villages.
Why it works with Roast Game
Bonnes-Mares and Roast Game make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.
Red · Medium · Dry
Pinot Noir (red) or Chardonnay (white) from the world's most expensive dirt. Translucent, perfumed, ethereal at the top of the hierarchy; honest and pleasant lower down. Drink slowly, with reverence.
Why it works with Roast Or Casseroles Of Poultry Or Game
The friendly middle ground for Roast Or Casseroles Of Poultry Or Game: Burgundy Corton's balance lets the meat lead.
Red · Medium · Dry
The cooler-climate sibling of Cabernet Sauvignon — leaner, more aromatic, with notes of bell pepper, raspberry, and graphite. The Loire's Chinon and Bourgueil do it best.
Why it works with Pan Roasted Cornish Game Hen With Pommes Aligot
Lighter than a Cabernet, Cabernet Franc still has the weight to match Pan Roasted Cornish Game Hen With Pommes Aligot's body.
White · Medium · Dry
The most-planted white grape and the most chameleon-like. Crisp and steely from Chablis; rich, oaky, and tropical from California. Read the label, then match the style to the dish.
Why it works with Cornish Game Hen Roasted With Rosemary And Thyme
Poinot Noir, Chardonnay gives Cornish Game Hen Roasted With Rosemary And Thyme a savory partner — cherry, leather, and a touch of acid.
