Moose is actually extremely hard to come by as a meal, even though we see 'em all the time around here. In Minnesota, hunters must apply for a moose license as a party of four, and the applications are drawn in a lottery each year. If a hunter is chosen for a moose license, it is a once in a lifetime thing because of the limited number of moose permits available; they will never be eligible for a Minnesota moose permit again if their name has been drawn once.
However, I could probably find you some venison--I'd recommend the Shiraz to go with that.

How about Bassett's Blue?

I've never seen moose offered as a meal. There's a German restaurant in Anaheim, CA that has elk on the menu.

I have a thing about eating national symbols and the like. Think I'll stick with something more traditional if that's alright with you, Melissa. I'm quite partial to a bit of venison, however - with a Shiraz, of course!
I thought about the Bassett's Blue, Paul. There's a grog shop on the way home from work that stocks it so I'm going to buy half a dozen tonight and see if I can find out why many rave about it.
Hic!!

You live in the land of Shiraz, H. Rosemont is my favorite. Some great vines in SEA.
About once a year, an expensive Penfolds is good too.
I've been loving Ecco Domani wines since New Year's Eve 2003 (Italian).

True, Noel. Trouble is, there are too many excellent ones to choose from. There are hundreds of boutique wineries producing brilliant stuff as well as the majors. Decisions......

Hey Ben. Any chance of a certain Mr. Mike Parks getting another C64FG, before the current production run ends?

Howard, you have some superb wines over there. I love French wine as well, but my very favourite has to be Peter Lehmans 'Clancys'. A real classic, beautiful wine, full of flavour & quality.....must go & open a bottle!

Excellent choice, Tony. Perhaps we can crack a bottle or two when we meet up......
