Headed to Le Diplomate for anniversary dinner tonight (16 years!) and wondering if anyone with more wine knowledge than myself can direct me to any decent wine values there--preferably red, preferably under or close to $50. Or should we stick to by the glass? LD_wine.pdf

Astonishingly this older progressively breaking down athlete of fame and fortune is finding that hot red wine baths might be the cure all to that which has hindered him for the last several years. Amare Stoudemire, once one of the greatest basketball players in the world, now an expensive oft injured mere shell of himself has managed to play 3 preseason games in a row in 3 consecutive days. He didn't break down. He attributes it all to hot tub baths in primarily red wine. He's been doing this for 6 months. Could hot tubs with red wine be the elusive fountain of youth or health that Ponce de Leon thought he discovered so many centuries ago??? Could this cause red wine prices to rise through the roof because of an explosion in demand????? Could this make E J Gallo Wine more valuable than Exxon? Which wine works best??? All to be determined. -
I first picked up a bottle of this in San Juan before a cruise, and it was a pretty damn good wine for $16. This weekend I found a few bottles of this at Wegmans, for $12. It's a nicely aged Rioja, maroon red, fairly full-bodied but balanced.

One of my most common dishes to make at home is a simple pasta with red sauce, adding lots of peppers, onions, and a combination of sweet and hot Italian sausage to it. It's cheap, it makes usually at least three hearty meals, and it typically comes out pretty delicious (to me, as I'm the only one I'm cooking for). I'd planned on making that during the hurricane, failed to do so, and decided to make it Friday night. During the day, however, I saw this link from Food and Wine magazine: http://www.foodandwi...uts-and-parsley Now, I don't keep a lot of wine in the house, because I tend to drink it. I did have two bottles of Pira Dolcetto D'Alba 2010 that Mary at Ace had recommended to me, so I opened one up. I didn't want to use the whole bottle like in the recipe, so I simply used some of it in the boiling water, and (like usual) added some to the sauce. HOLY CRAP That's the only real change I made from my usual "recipe". It was fantastic! I couldn't stop eating it! I just ate some leftovers of it and I'm still like "WOW THIS IS GOOD!" I don't know if it's the wine that made the difference, maybe it's because it's been so long since I actually cooked something other than ramen for myself, but man oh man this is the best pasta a la SeanMike I've ever made. It's freaking fantastic. I'm full right now and it's all I can do to hold myself back from nuking the rest of the leftovers and destroying it. Has anyone else cooked their dried pasta in red wine? What did you think? If I went up to using the full 3 cups (like the recipe suggests) is it going to be amazing, or will I regret using that much wine? I wonder if vermouth would work too...
