Wine Pairings:
We preface all of our wine pairing suggestions by letting you know that it’s really a matter of personal taste. While we do offer our opinions and why we selected a specific varietal, there is no right or wrong answer when pairing a wine with your dinner.

Chenin Blanc Wine
This Crock Pot Rosemary 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.
