Re: Anyone drink wine (especially with game)?

For red meat: in general, lighter, more subtle tasting wines are avoided for game because game meat has such a strong taste compared to the regular fare we are used to. This would tend to overpower the taste of the wine. So, what are normally called full-bodied wines in the US are what would be recommended. Since most US wines hit you over the head with strong taste anyway this isn't really much of a consideration when buying a California red wine.



I'm glad to see that someone knowledgeable about wines agrees with me that U.S. wines "hit you over the head with strong taste". This is one reason they cause "red wine headache" in many people. I've started drinking the cheapest jug red wines I can find (something like Carlo Rossi Paisano) and find them much easier on my head, my stomach, and my pocket book.
