Hello there, trying to figure out what we want to eat for Christmas and I was thinking of doing something we use to do back home in
South of France but for that I will need to find game meat; either wild boar or deer. The name is 'daube', in short you marinate the meat overnight in red wine and a few other things and slow cook it for several hours.

Anyway, the only place that comes to mind to find game meat is Los Gatos meat but not sure they have any (there are closed today) and I was wondering if you guys could recommend a place or two. Also willing to 'trade' with local hunter.

Thanks and happy holidays

I go to Los Gatos meats fairly regularly for lunch (awesome sandwiches) and bought pheasant there once--I'm originally from the upper midwest and used to hunt pheasant often. The bird was a bit overprocessed, IMHO, and was a disappointment. In any case, I know they process wild game, and they do usually have a few exotic things for sale, but not sure that it would be what you are looking for.

Anyways, good luck in your quest...

Selling game meat is illegal so anything you end up buying will have been farm raised. Only real way to get it is from a hunter..

Try Rocca’s in San Martín (call for what they have), Freedom Meat Locker in Watsonville, Willowside Meats in Santa Rosa may have some as well.

I just came from Freedom Meats last weekend and saw some venison but call them before going.
