Wine and Venison for dinner

[Sage]

Early morning buck on opening day. Shot with single shot buffalo rifle using black power at 130 yds.

130 yards with that rifle is impressive, good show

Aren't you supposed to hang 'em for a while? The one time I had venison within hours of 'harvest' it was really tough.

He's hanging now. That dinner will be late next week when I cut him up. Either backstrap or tenderloin, bacon wrapped or sliced with the bacon inside and BBQ or broil depending on weather. Break out a bottle of Cab that been waiting for a good occasion!

Sage, If you have any additional Backstrap, Google Venison Steak Diane by Hank Shaw. It was a totally Awesome dinner! We don't normally eat venison, but a friend gave us some Backstrap & we used this recipe. Roy

For venison the most often mentioned best wine is Barolo. But if one if unable to get that fine Italian wine, then Shiraz is recommended.

If you have cool temps hang'em. If it is too warm, process them, and in my experience doesn't make a big difference.

It's 30's at night, might get 50s daytime. It'll hang about a week. Boned and in a fridge at 34 for a couple days then cut and trimmed.

I usually drink what I make. Rarely buy, but I'll keep those 2 wines in mind if I do.
