I got it all written down and now feel like I’ve finally gotten some good guidance on the ‘cooking with wine’ business. Both of you take care, and happy cooking!

And Sutter Home is a fairly inexpensive brand that can be found in most grocery stores. Just pay attention to the descriptions so you know which wines are sweet, dry, etc. Good luck!

As for wine, the rule is don’t cook with something you wouldn’t drink. Well I don’t drink wine so when I made this on my own the first time I called my mom and she suggested a Cabernet. Lots of people suggest Chianti as well.

In regards to white wine it will depend on the recipe. Does it want a dry white, a sweeter white, a softer white…
For a dry white you can use a Sauvignon Blanc.

Brand-wise I trend toward the less expensive bottles. I never spend more than $10 but that’s because I won’t be drinking the wine with my meal.

Hope this helped!

Two things: What kind of olives (black, green, stuffed…)? And will you tell me exactly what brand and kind of wine to get? The folks at the one liquor store in my little town just aren’t very helpful, and I’m not familiar with cooking with wine. Also, if you can recommend a good white wine to cook with that would help too. I see that called for in so many recipes. Thanks so much.
