Description
Goose is a very rich dish, stronger flavoured than turkey, and also more fatty.
The big Piemonte wines such Barolo and Barbaresco call for intense flavors and for festivities. Southern Rhône wines such GSM Blends and Châteauneuf-du-Pape enhance the savoury taste, while Zinfandel brings out the sweetness of the meat.
Alsatian Riesling is the best pairing when you have apples and potatoes as sides because it matches the sweet note of baked fruit.
