He and the community would often have to hunt for food and venison is a particular favourite of his family and so he felt it only right to pay homage with a special night where everything on the menu was game.
To start the evening there will be a pre dinner drink in the form of Hiver Honey Beer, which is a real winter warmer beer made with honey exclusively from British Bee keepers.
The first course, Pheasant Samosa is paired with a 2007 Riesling Reserve, a white wine, which is a great match to complement the tamarind chutney and sweet yoghurt that comes with the samosa.
Second up is a Char-grilled Partridge, followed by Venison Khasgi Salan which is paired with a Yarra Valley Pinot Noir – seen as game’s best friend. Game has a really strong flavour and so you shouldn’t have a wine that tries to compete with big flavours. It’s not a competition but a marriage and the Pinot Noir’s job is to play the subtle supporting role.
For dessert is a Chocolate Tart served with almond crumb, winter berry coulee, and chilli ripple ice cream. The pairing here is a 2018 Moscato, and it’s gentle sweetness, slight fizz and strawberry flavours make them a match made in heaven.
