Valreas Cuvee Prestige Cotes du Rhone

Yes

A great, cheap Cotes du Rhone with a lavish mouthfeel. Strong tannins and black pepper, really needs a food pairing. Opens up well.

Red Wine-Braised Short Ribs

Posted Sun, 10/16/2011 - 16:28 by Audrey

We merged a Bon Appetit recipe with a (strikingly) similar recipe from my canning book (which recommends topping the finished product with pickled red onions). We don't (yet) have a dutch oven, so we did this entirely on the stovetop. For those home chefs with a dutch oven (one day that will be us), I've left in the oven directions as optional.

Makes about 4 servings.

Brisket (estimate 60 minutes per pound, though thicker or larger non-point cuts might take as much as 90 minutes/pound) 4 Pounds is a good base point.
