I'm gonna try your crockpot roast recipe this week Blacksand, sounds delish!

The most important thing I learned about cooking with wine ... NEVER use a wine in a dish you wouldn't love to drink straight out of a glass.

Don't get caught up in grocery store imitations or low budget knock-offs. For the recipient above, I have had the best results with sweeter, full-bodied white wines such as the St Michelle's - Late Harvest Riesling ... or a Two Vines - Gewürztraminer.

Any white wine you like will work though ... Don't stray into the blushes or zinfandels though.

Would a good pinot or Chardonnay work?

Both may be a little dry (you want a full-bodied wine ... fat, long legs on the side of the glass) ... And the longer it cooks the more wine taste you would lose.

But hey ... Give it try, it won't totally screw it up. Perhaps yours will turn out better and I am just guessing on what I put in it.

Burgundy works for both drinking and cooking...

Uh ... Just shoot yourself for thinking about putting red wine on chicken. :mad:

Just Kidding ... Drink and use whatever wine you like.
I wouldn't even think about using a red wine though ... So I cannot say whether or not it would work.

If you use "cooking wine" ... I will fly there and take your knives, pots and kitchen utensils ... Leaving you a bowl a spoon for cereal. :p
