Any dish you prepare while cooking with fine wines should be amazing. When cooking with wine, remember that your favorite recipes will only be as good as the wine you choose. Wines from your local grocery store are unacceptable substitutes unless you are having a back yard barbecue. Many of these products have added salt, sugars, and preservatives, which offset the savings from using a cheap wine. Steer clear of anything labeled “cooking wine”. Cooking wine is equivalent to sending your taste buds to time-out! Fine wine should not only be used when preparing fancy meals, but also for any meal that requires cooking with fine wines. Plain and simple, this is good cooking.
Wine adds that special flavor to your foods, even though most recipes require only one-half cup. Follow this rule of thumb when adding fine wines to any meal. Always let the wine come to a boil, and then let it simmer for minutes to an hour. By doing this, most of the alcohol will boil away, leaving only the extraordinary flavors of the wine for your recipe.
Fine wine added to any meal you will learn to cook with will add extravagant flavors. Elevate your culinary game by infusing your dishes with the essence of Napa and Sonoma’s finest, a surefire way to add a dash of ‘vintage’ charm to your table. Wine is the essential ingredient for cooking, because it adds sweet and savory flavors to your food, pulling out the exciting aromas and flavors of your food.
