Doc's Roasted Pheasant With Wine Sauce image

My grandfather was a dentist. He traveled up the Missouri River by keel boat to Fort Benton, bringing the first tooth xray to Montana before Montana became a state. I never knew him,but cousins have discovered his old recipes cooked for the Gentlemen Dinners for him and other professional members of community. I have made this for four servings.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a hit. The pheasant is always moist and flavorful, and the wine sauce is to die for. I love serving it with roasted vegetables and mashed potatoes.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pheasant turned out tough and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The pheasant was a bit dry, but the wine sauce helped to compensate for that. Overall, it was a good dish, but I would recommend cooking the pheasant for a shorter amount of time.
