Got to buy a bottle of wine

I got a recipe that require a bottle of red wine since I'm not a wine drinker this will be fun. Do they still make Ripple? Since I need to use red wine maybe Night Train?
Anyways, I'm thinking of making Daube Of Beef or Beef Bourguignon since both are similar. One has mushrooms and the other egg noodles. Maybe I'll combo meal it by using what I like and throw it in the pot?
I'll be using a pair of beef cheeks I had in the freezer now defrosting in the fridge that need eatin and the freezer needing emptyin.

Since you aren't a vinophile and it's for cooking, it won't matter much. Almost any bottle of "table red" will do nicely. There are lots of Kalifornia reds selling for about $7 a bottle.
I assume you were kidding about the Ripple and Night Train.
all i know about cooking with wine is what Justin Wilson said "never cook with a wine you wouldn't drink". with that said he would pour wine in his recipe and then take him a drink.
My wife uses lots of wine when she cooks. Every now and then she puts some in with the food.
🤣🤣
Yosh, you could always just follow the current group of misfits and substitute Nyquil for the wine!
Just call it "Sleepy Beef Bourguignon" 😁
Fairbanks port. marinate, works great.
I agree with this, and have never understood how using bad ingredients don't affect quality of the final product. The recommendation that "any old [ingredient] will do" is rarely true, IME. YMMV.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Earnest and Julio Gallo.
Maybe that's why you missed that coyote....
Careful what you're calling Neo's wife there Todd!

It's OK, she ain't a coyote. She's a FOX!
Pinot noir, is a good wine for cooking.
good luck hope it turns out well
my experience with wine wellwas nothing but top shelf stuff 😁
ahh ya know out of reach of the kids in the local market 😁 top shelf above the coolers two I remember good old mad dog 20/20 (Mogan David as most know it as ) and the always good boons farm .. 😀 so my limited experience really cuts back on my opinion as a wine taster
it was sold it at the grocery store I worked at when I was 16 . but it served its purpose of getting us drunk LOL
I remember if you were brave enough to bring to the check out the cashiers would sell it to you and all the high school kids knew it same with beer it was dont ask dont tell
Rocky Raab - I don't joke about Ripple or Night Train. I would've gone to the liquor store in the hood for Cisco if they still sold that.
Brookwood - NyQuil Chicken. MMmmmmm...It's not just for cold and flu.
Geri - I forgot to add port to the marinade. I'll add some later. Had I've been able to find Night Train I wouldn't have to fortify the wine.
waltermoe - I ended up buying a bottle at Grocery Outlet. Some California thing that "retails" elsewhere for $34.00 but I can buy it for $7.99 there. I went there looking for the finest Dominican Republic's but no joy.
Yosh, I grew up near East St Louis. The winos there made their own hootch they called Robin Hood. They used any fruit they could get from supermarket dumpsters or find growing and bottled it in Mason jars. Ripple would have been two steps up for them.
So the bottle of Latitude Wine LAT. 38 Pino Noir Private Reserve was not bad for $8. Took a taste and it didn't pucker up my face like most wines. I might drink that on it's own. There was this other wine viognier I could drink I found in the discount bin decades ago. Don't recall why I bought it other than it was being discounted?
While cooking I threw in a DVD of Julia Childs schooling folks on Beef Bourguignon. I bought that DVD at a school rummage sale in 2020? Good buy. So while on Julia Childs tip I threw in "Julie & Julia" since I had like 4 hours to kill. Actually it turned out to be more like 6 hours since I didn't throw the pot in the oven. The beef cheeks came out great. Two days in the wine soak and you could really taste that in the meat.
The egg noodles didn't add anything to it other than a filler.
Rocky Raab - Robin Hood sounds like "Pruneo" without the toilet. I wonder if someone in a garage made "Pruneo" would the hipsters buy him out? Food for thought.
I'm glad Julia made your cheeks blush, LOL!
I was going to some evening thing at St Louis U once and was driving west with the sun in my eyes. At the top of an overpass, I damn near hit some poor bastid sitting on the double yellow with a jar of Robin Hood in his hands. Missed him by inches. I have always wondered if he was trying to die there.
