Hello and thank you for your help. I wish to find the right wines for a tasting menu including foie gras and caviar. duck consomme. roasted red mullet. deer fowl with a poivrade sauce. warm brie with a port wine caramel.

Can you help me? I want to spend 45 to 65 dollars per person (canadian funds) on wine.

Hi Anxious, and welcome to Wine Board. Your menu took me directly to the Rhone Valley. If you can find a 1999 Gigondas, go for it. That was one of their very best vintages. Failing that try a 1998 or '99 Cotes Du Rhone Villages. Get a bottle for every three guests unless you know they are heavy drinkers. In that case one for two. In all cases round up.

The menu sounds great and would add a Sauternes with the Foie Gras...BTW, what is a deer fowl?

I wish to thank you for your feedback, but I was wondering if you could suggest one wine per dish. Thank you
