do you buy a cheap bottle of wine for cooking or just use some franzia/carlo rossi? lol
I only drink good wine with company, so I'f Im having people over, I'll buy a decent bottle to split between the roast and the broad. If I'm cooking for myself (like in this case) I'll just use a bottle of two buck chuck or even franzia or rossi, whatever I have laying around. The exception to this is when I make risottos which I really really express the subtleties of the wine, so I'll usually fo a step or two up. Actually, now that I think about it, its not just risottos, its more like anything that I'm using a white for, I use a decent bottle, anything I'm using a red for, I can get away with something cheap. Cheap whites taste like booze and sugar, some cheap reds actually taste like 'real' wine.
