My recent FAVORITE use for wine (red or white - but I LOVE red): marinating tempeh (with a splash of o.o., herbs - usually de provence - and a bit of broth)! I think the fact that tempeh and wine are both fermented makes them a super-licious combo!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32480106.post-29294295257537184572007-11-16T20:23:00.000-05:002007-11-16T20:23:00.000-05:00I've been seeing more & more recipes with wine lat...I've been seeing more & more recipes with wine lately.

I guess I just have to be disciplined and actually save some of the bottle (haha)!

I have a ton of bottles of wine left over from Thanksgiving (beginning of October in Canada) and was thinking about cracking open a few to cook with. And hey - I really do need to have a glass while I'm cooking to make sure it's really good, right?SaraJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03134629427434209960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32480106.post-32332798886729003772007-11-16T10:32:00.000-05:002007-11-16T10:32:00.000-05:00Vicki, yay!

Thanks for your comments, and I hope we can overlap in our CA visits so we can meet up!<BR/><BR/>TB and Ashasarala, try it, you really can't go wrong!<BR/><BR/>Vegan Noodle, that's a really good question. I find that it's much easier to pick vegan wines when you have a memorized arsenal of vegan wineries to choose from. Usually, a winery is either vegan or it isn't, so you don't have to worry about individual wines. And usually, organic wines tend to be vegan. I've emailed wine companies and have been SO happy with their quick responses. They all know what vegan means (yay!), and they've all given me quick, respectful answers. So, just go to their website and send them a quick email, they're really good at getting back to you. We have been happy to find that our favorite local wines (bully hill) are vegan. <BR/>All that having been said, I have to admit I'm not 100% careful about wines and beers being vegan, but I'm getting better!bazuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07020880461667324114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32480106.post-76528251310754626612007-11-16T10:26:00.000-05:002007-11-16T10:26:00.000-05:00I whole-heartedly agree.

(and john does as well, he dumps red wine in everything he makes) Especially in pasta sauce, red wine makes all the difference...<BR/><BR/>Now here's a question for you, do you buy organic and certified vegan wines? I am probably not as careful as I should be when it comes to wine....it is so difficult to know what they are using as clarifiers. I've heard many people say that most wineries use synthetic clarifiers these days. I keep meaning to write to the companies of some of my favorites just to check. How do you handle this? Just curious :-)Vegan_Noodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15946796454115691643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32480106.post-25506248108616763632007-11-16T10:07:00.000-05:002007-11-16T10:07:00.000-05:00I absolutely hate the taste of wine as a drink, bu...I absolutely hate the taste of wine as a drink, but cooking with it always seemed like such a good idea. For me, it's just like bitter baking chocolate. Kinda gross by itself but utterly delicious cooked into something. Thanks for the tips. I've been making tons of soups and I always have that problem when sauteeing.
