“A meal without wine is like a day without sunshine.” ~ Anthelme Brillat-Savarin

I’ve enjoyed cooking with wine pretty much since I started cooking. A splash or red wine in spaghetti sauce elevates the flavor from merely “good” to “fantastic.” Cooking with wine adds depth to your dishes. I was going to go into all the details here and realized there are already so many great articles on the subject, I’d just direct you to one of those if you care to read more about this. HERE you go!
The one tip I’ll emphasize, because I don’t think it can be overlooked, is don’t cook with wine you wouldn’t drink. It just makes sense that if you’re looking to add good flavor to your dish, that you’d use good wine to accomplish this. Not that you have to spend a ton of money on a bottle, there are good wines with moderate price tags attached. If you like the “two buck chuck” that can be purchased at places like Trader Joe’s, then, by all means, use it in your cooking. 😉
