>because good California wines mog Italian wine.
lmao shit thread

So I forgot to take pic of the other meat I browned first, heres the pancetta crisping up a bit. Other meat is 1.2 lbs ground beef, 1.2pounds mild italian sausage, 1lb ground veal

All meat browned and fat drained

>>19927154
>fat drained
Then what was the point of the pancetta you fucking dunce

>>19927161
I kept the pancetta fat in the pot my guy, thats why I rendered it separately

>>19927154
lmao fucking retard

Oil, pancetta fat, onion celery and carrot

>>19927140
Shartface. Stick to making whiskey and porter beer.

Pic

>>19927171
Okay that was not apparent from your post. You should've still kept some of the beef/pork fat. At least 1 tablespoon per half pound

>>19927154
>browned
debatable
>fat drained
kill yourself

Mushrooms in, this may cause some seething but mushrooms rule

>>19927186
Noted. Actually good advice

Fresh chopped garlic, bout 6 cloves.

Let it all sweat down and make my house smell good as fuck, then deglaaaaazed with some italian pinot gris, bout cup and a half

Why waste so much on a basic date/night in?

This kind of bottle is meant for like a birthday/anniversary/etc. Not for drinking with random dinner on a tuesday night.

Have you even tasted this wine before and do you know if it'll pair well with what you're cooking?

>>19927191
you didn't brown those veggies at all wtf

Ok wine reduced off, added a couple tablespoons of tomato paste and cooked it a bit

>>19927211
Its one of our favorites. Tonight isn’t super special but we are planning our trip to Italy in April tonight so its good enuff reason

>>19927218
Fair enough, just seems like a waste for this kind of meal.

There are some VERY good Californian reds in the $50-75 range that are almost as good.

Ok bit of a time travel here, added san marzano whole tomatoes, chicken stock, meat back in, fresh basil and seasonings. Salt black peo crushed red pep thyme oregano parsley - took me about 5-7 minutes to dial in the seasonings to my liking, 3 bay leaves too

>>19927140
>good California wines mog Italian wine.
Nigger.

>>19927225
Fair point for sure, I do spoil her though

>>19927225
>There are some VERY good Californian reds
No. There aren't.

>>19927235
Pic related is what I probably would've opened for a nice evening.

Neuske’s applewood smoked bacon for the salad I am going to make.

>>19927246
Excellent choice anon. Will you be drinking that fine wine from lead crystal glasses?

>>19927246
I have had this a couple times its very very good. You know your shit

>>19927251
Indeed. A fellow patrician I see

>>19927184
Meh...your soffritto looks chopped way to big.
You want your soffrito to pretty much blend into the meat sauce and be undetectable, which means you want to mince it it so you don't get those large pieces, you can even use a grater to get a fine cut.

I roasted an entire head of garlic for 45 mins at 375 with olive oil and seasalt and whipped it together with one stick of Irish butter for the bread

Picrel - and yea I debated just leaving the meat out and cooking the tomato sauce down and blending it with an immersion blender but im kinda pressed for time and have to clean and change my bedsheets before she gets here. And still have to make my bechamel sauce

>>19927253
Yea it's going to be my Thanksgiving wine. Still looking for a Christmas wine (paired with beef).

>>19927244

Ok boys got some other shit to do will be back to finish up in a bit

Simple salad of chopped romaine, good bacon, some double cream danish bleu cheese and tomato and avocado. Will dress and toss right before we ear

>>19927246
>>19927140
>2019
>cabernet sauvignon
>napa valley

So what the fuck is difference and why is one of them so much more?

Final layer before adding cheese

Finished profuct

>>19928664
looks great anon. I would consider new plates though. did you girl buy them?

Holy fuckin gay. Take it to tumblr you turbofaggot.

Hope the date went well, Anon

>>19927140
Chilean wine mogs Californian. If you’re doing Italian though stick to a nice Chianti

>>19927186
I refuse to ever drain any fat off anything I make. Fat is good for you and it’s where all the flavor is.

>>19927246
>mogged by the cheapeast aussie wine
why even bother

>>19927258
you can make it as chunky as you want you dumb queer

>>19929043
My girl is from Peru, Chile is the enemywgdg0v

>>19928976
Lol why? I like my plates

>>19927200
>6 cloves
garlic for ants?

>>19929583
Garlic is not an ingredient you can just add infinitely with zero consequences

>>19929039
Happy girl

>>19929650
>all that effort for this
This bitch is a Cheesecake Factory date, AT MOST

>>19929224
Why didn't you name one then

it's easy to cast stones when you're not providing anything back.

>>19927140
Did dinner go well? Did you get to put your peepee in her whowho?

>>19929650
wtf who takes pics of their date and posts them on 4chan? did you tell her?

>>19929650
Tell her she could lose some weight.

>>19929650
She can barely be arsed to slap on a smile for a picture after you did all that kek AND she's an absolute goblina. Thanks for the laugh OP.

>>19929650
where's Stitch?

>>19929650
cute

>>19927140
The quality of the wine doesn't matter, you are cooking with it

>>19927211
>Le more expensive the gooder
LMAO at this faggot paying $100 for wine

>>19929650
As long as your happy anon

>>19930705
I don't think $100 has the same meaning to me, as it does to you.

>>19930871
you can add beauty to the list

>>19928664
Hope you asked her to pay for her portion. Freeloaders are not funny.

>>19927211
OP is retarded for wasting money on literally the sloppa of Napa Valley cabs minus Caymus.
Also pairing a big alcohol warm climate Cab with fucking lasagna is retarded. If you were doing Cali red you should've gone with Syrah or Pinot Noir from Santa Barbera. Could've gotten fucking Tablas Creek red from Paso for half the price of that Stags' Leap.
>>19929650
Yeah figures your a mong who posts his date's face on 4chan.

Either 8/10 mastertroll or actual retard. You make me glad I'm still a virgin not spending money on goblin pussy.

>>19931300
Hell, he could've gotten the regular Stags' Leap napa valley cab for like $45-55 and it would've made more sense than that reserve bottle.

>>19931312
Is it that much now? Shit fucking Jordan Cab is $50 at Costco and would work way better than Stags' Leap (also helps that it doesn't taste like grape extract too)

>>19927244
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judgment_of_Paris_(wine)

>>19931577
They're not terrible if they're old enough, the 2017 or 2018 is the latest i'd want to open.

>>19931605
You do realize modern Napa and Sonoma wines are vastly different from the 70s stuff right?
Also the Judgement of Paris was retarded considering all of the judges, minus 2, preferred a French red as their #1 choice and yet Stag's Leap won because they did an sum of each judges score which is a stupid way to judge wines and is not used in any serious competition.

Wow, people are being very mean ITT
