Game meats, such as venison, deer, and duck, have a distinctive flavor that can be quite different from traditional beef or pork. As a result, it's important to choose a wine that can complement the unique flavors of game meats. Here are a few classic wine and game meat pairings to consider:

Pinot Noir: Light to medium-bodied, Pinot Noir is known for its delicate fruit and spice flavors, making it a great choice for game meats. The wine's acidity can help cut through the rich, gamey flavors of the meat.

Shiraz/Syrah: These full-bodied red wines have a distinctive pepperiness that can complement the wild, gamey flavors of game meats. They are good to pair with stews, hearty casseroles or dishes with a rich sauce.

Tempranillo: This Spanish red wine is known for its medium-bodied structure, acidity and fruit flavors. Can be a good match with dishes that have a sweeter or fruit-based sauce. Gamay: Light-bodied red wine, with a light and fruity profile, well paired with game meats like pheasant, quail and partridge.

Zinfandel: This bold, full-bodied red wine has a higher alcohol content and a spicy, fruity flavor that can complement the rich, robust flavors of game meats.

As you can see, there are many different types of wine that can be paired with game meats, and the specific pairing will depend on the type of game meat you're serving and how it's prepared. In general, bold red wines like Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Syrah/Shiraz, Tempranillo, are great options for game meat. And for the lighter dishes, Gamay can be a great option.
