Chenin Blanc Wine
This slow cooker Cornish Game Hen recipe goes great with a good dry crisp white wine with nice minerality. We suggest pairing this dish with a Chenin Blanc. A Chenin Blanc is a dry white wine with flavors of quince, yellow apple and pear. The flavors and herbal notes pairs well, and the creamy minerality is the perfect accompaniment.
