- tarry99 - 02-13-2006 For a dinner with different entree offerings - stuffed cornish game hen and wasabi crusted tuna - what would be appropriate red and white wines? I realize that whites such as pinot noir or gertwurztraimer are best but would like to provide a red wine for those guests who simply prefer red. Thanks. - WileECoyote - 02-13-2006 I have heard that a good bubbly is good with sushi. Sushi comes with wasabi. Don't know if this makes sense. - Innkeeper - 02-13-2006 Hi Tarry and welcome to the Wine Board. Pinot Noir is a red wine and an appropriate one. The Gewurtz would work too, but I think a Riesling would go better; say a German Rheingau Riesling Kabinett. - tarry99 - 02-13-2006 thanks for the help! would california riesling be comparable to german kind? also - are cabs completely wrong for the entrees (in lieu of pinot noir)? - robr - 02-13-2006 Yes, cabs are wrong. I prefer Washington reislings over Calfornia. You might also try a nice red zinfandel with the chicken, but pinot noir is the best bet. - Innkeeper - 02-13-2006 If you want a good alternative to the Pinot, we had a rich chicken dish just last night and enjoyed a Spanish Garnacha with it. - PinotEnvy - 02-13-2006 Pinot Gris/Grigio may be what you were thinking of as a white wine instead of Pinot Noir? I will let the more educated than I say if it pairs with your meal. - WileECoyote - 02-13-2006 I was just kidding about the bubbly with your suggested food dishes. I should help and not be silly. I would say reisling also. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/wink.gif[/img] |
