One is supposed to use the same wine for both drinking with and cooking
in that dish:-)
I had a cookbook that had a recipe for Duck Margaux. That is a duck
casserole where the cooking wine was a whole bottle of Chateau Margaux.
That wine often goes for around $1000 per bottle!!
I let that book go with my ex when we split:-)
