What wines did you pair these with?

I don't have all the information recorded, but here are the types: prosecco with the sorbet and crostini, sauvignon blanc with the parsnip soup, grenache rose with the tartare, Hob Nob pinot noir (I know that one) with the onion soup and bread pudding, riesling with the duck eggs and haddock, chardonnay with the rabbit, shiraz with the goat stew, then sauternes with the cheese and pots de creme, and port with the gingerbread.
