      @ROman both were excellent. This is the recipe, I think you'd enjoy it: https://www.greatbritishchefs.com/recipes/venison-tomato-rosemary-ragu-recipe

      Ignore the cook time on the meat, I think it needs 2x as long on the low heat, then another 30-45 in the oven before the tomatoes go in, and I serve with mashed potatoes and veg, not polenta.

        And to get back on topic, i think Ridge is my favourite 'treat' wine that I have had from the USA. This was my third, and I have loved them all. More than I would normally spend on a bottle to drink at home, but worth it when you feel like splashing out

          @Alex Thamks, I'll give both the recipe and wine a try.

            @Alex Now all I have to do is make the ragu. I'll let you know about the wine when I uncork it.

              I’m not a wine guy by any stretch, however I do love a nice glass of wine. We stocked up on a case when we went to Italy and my wife has quite a few bottles from Argentina she brought back from a trip. We pulled out a few bottles from our collection for a Friday evening wind down…

              Eeny, meeny, miny….

                  @Matt as I personally don’t know much about wine and often choose based off the label…I’d say this one has to be good!

                            Willamette Pinot is a go-to for us.

                                @mclaincausey I've got a bottle of Rex Hill on my wine rack that's calling to me. Willamette is the only pinot noir I really like.

                                    @seawolf I won’t quite go that far on other Pinot regions (some continentals have been good, fewer California), but WV is not only my runaway favorite region for the grape but my favorite red short of brunellos, pauillacs, and the like.

                                    Think it, be it.

                                      @mclaincausey WV and pinot noir are a match made in heaven. Big and bold are usually not descriptors associated with pinot noir, unless they come from WV.

                                      I'm a big Paso Robles wine nerd, and I usually seek out bottles from the region because they're usually big and bold, but the winemaking skill is incredible there, and I have found so many great wineries.

                                      This one is from a boutique winery called McPrice Myers, and their wines are consistently big, and the blends are always interesting and gorgeous. This is a GSM that I opened this weekend, and it was lovely.
