Menu/wine suggestions

[Clarkus]

Having a pre-Tgiving dinner for close friends and would appreciate some wine suggestions.

App: Crab and Salmon Terrine with dill sauce...serving Veuve or Roederer, NV.

Main: Cornish Game Hens with Orange and Honey sauce. Recipe (from Epicurius online) calls for Chardonnay...my sister the californian reacted violently to this. Insists on a pinot or shiraz. What to do???

Cheese: after supper chesse course. a small selection of cheeses...nothing as strong as a stilton though. sister says port (which I love) carrying over thru dessert. But, not sure companions will like port (one does not like strong reds) ... perhaps something lighter??

Dessert: dk choc. cake with ganache and a spiced custard sauce (with strong cinnamon and ginger accents). would a sauterne or even a muscat work here?

any help will be appreciated
