Allow to sit or rest for 20 minutes before stuffing the quail. This will allow all ingredients to bloom together, creating the stuffing.

Recommended wine: Riesling, Sparkling Wine, Zinfandel

Cornbread works really well with Riesling, Sparkling Wine, and Zinfandel. In general, there are a few rules that will help you pair wine with southern food. Food-friendly riesling or sparkling white wine will work with many fried foods, while zinfandel is great with barbecued fare. You could try RELAX Riesling. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 10 dollars per bottle.
