Hello; Eldest son came with a news paper cutting, please make this for Xmas: turkey with a filling of ground pork and mushrooms, apparently from the treasures of the Swedish Brillat-Savarin, Cajsa Warg (in Sweden tied to the saying "One takes what one has", which maybe does not make much sense in foreign lingos). So the recipe contains little spices and herbs, and should be served with boiled peas and black currant jelly. So self asks, I beg ya, what does one drink with this? In my never very humble opinion black currant jelly kills any wine in a msot dastardly fashion, perhaps we could leave it or, just serve it as an option. The bird is not very rich in flavour in and by itself. A red burg? A smooth, velvety Savigny-le-Beaune, or a Volnay even? Or perhaps one should go for a white?! (Pinot Gris comes to mind) I would appreciate any and all advice. Just keep it on the European side of the Atlantic - US wines come at a cost in Sweden and seldom give a good QPR. I do have some Oz and South Africans hid away in the cellar, but not a great many. Why the US wines are so exepnsive, I do not know.
Cheers
Nils Gustaf
