Corinth Wine & Spirits

I wanted to cook a beef stew with a good red wine. Years ago I used some ‘cooking wine’ from the grocery store and it pretty much ruined anything I tried to cook with.
I walked into Corinth Wine & Spirits and the lady (owner?) working at the time was busy taking in a truck load. She walked up with a friendly disposition and big smile as she asked me how she could help.
I explained what I was looking for and she immediately reached for a bottle and told me she wouldn’t recommend anything else personally. The bottle was only $ 5.00 and change. She said she does not want anyone to pay for more expensive wines when this one is just as good.
We had a friendly short banter about cooking as I was paying.
I made a beef stew today using my wonderful stew pot from
and posted a photo of the finished dish. The only liquid I added to the stew was the bottle of wine. It cooked down and created the most intense beefy gravy. The flavor permeated the potatoes and carrots.
I will return to stockpile a few bottles so they will be on hand for any dishes calling for a robust flavoring. I also want to see if they have one or both of the recommendations for sipping wine from Michelle C (Banfi Chianti or a Montepulciano).
