Hit me up with your recipes for dinner with Aussie Pinot. And if possible, not toooooo complex nor 100 duck dishes.

Duck is the obvious choice but most red meat goes well with the slightly bigger style of most Aussie Pinots. I'd go a frenched Lamb Rack with some subtle spices of your choosing, ideally sous vide at 58C for 60-90 mins, then hot sear, otherwise roasted in hot oven. With swiss brown mushrooms cooked in butter(I add some porcini powder, garlic & parsley), duck fat roast potatoes, rocket salad or charred brocollini.

To bring down the complexity of preparing duck, you can try the products from http://www.luvaduck.com.au.
I find that oven baked salmon goes well with Pinot too.

+1 on Luvaduck, if you at least want to make an effort cooking, use the Luvaduck fillets added to a Risotto, utilising the duck fat
Travis, how did youre trip to Orange go? I would be interested on your impressions from the trip.

A simple fresh pasta with butter + sage sauce and shaved parmesan is solid. Make it fancy with a dash of truffle oil or really go to town with fresh shaved truffle.

Cheers.

Beef Stroganoff
Classic roast chicken
Soy-style* pork belly...
(think pork belly cubes, slowly cooked in stock with garlic, ginger, cinnamon, star anise and dark soy.. once tender add some dried or fresh mushrooms, thicken with a little cornflour, and serve over rice with fresh spring onion and coriander)
* I would say "Chinese-style" but it seems these days that would risk "cultural appropriation"

I've always been rather amused by the Italian name for Trifle - Zuppa Inglese "English soup".
