Now that sounds great

I love Mushroom's

Now about the Red Wine. You see alot of recipes have it in them and they say cook with something you would drink.

Well I don't drink wine and have went to the liqueur store and asked what was a good Red Wine and have tried some different ones and to me they all taste like crap.

So what would be a Good Red Wine?

Thanks Curt

Curt,
I'm like you I usually don't drink wine unless it be some of the homemade stuff we can get around here. It's more like Brandy than wine. But back to the question. The cheaper the better I had a bottle of Black Berry Merlot in the fridge. That's what I used on this batch. It was leftover from brining and smoking some carp for a fella I work with. It isn't really bad stuff if you pour some in a glass and have a snort.

Curt.  Look around the wine store a little bit.  Try to buy something in a dry red and not expensive.  It's pretty easy to find an inexpensive Cabernet Sauvignon or a Merlot.  It doesn't have to be french.  One company might be Inglenook - they also have a Burgundy, that's not bad for cooking.  Gallo and Sutter Home are other labels that would be good for the money.  In the Italian section are the chiantis - usually inexpensive and good for cooking.

This is what I have tried in a couple of things, not sure if it was considered a good wine or not.

Definitely not a Gran Cru', and the wine snobs wouldn't even give it a sniff, but remarkably not a bad wine (I've had much worse - even my own Caney Cuvee') - and should be more than fine for cooking.
