Pinot Noir

Classic

Red · Light · Dry

Burgundy's most temperamental grape, but the rewards are real — translucent ruby with a perfumed lift of red cherry, forest floor, and clove. Silken tannins and bright acid make it the most versatile red on the table; serve cool, around 58°F.

Why it works with Smoked Venison Salad

Pinot Noir brings cherry and earth alongside Smoked Venison Salad; no clash, no domination, just balance.

Sancerre

Adventurous

White · Light · Dry

Sauvignon Blanc from the upper Loire, grown on flint and chalk. Citrus, smoke, and a mineral finish that hints at struck stone. The refined antithesis of New Zealand's tropical SBs.

Why it works with Smoked Venison Salad

Sancerre's bright acid lifts Smoked Venison Salad cleanly — the lean white strategy.

A specialty bottling we haven't documented in detail. Treat the first sip as research — note the body and acidity, then choose food that matches.

sautrne and Smoked Venison Salad make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.

Sauvignon Blanc

Adventurous

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.
