At first glance, it looks similar to another I was aiming for, and I freaking crack open a damn 19 year old bottle of Cab I was saving. Guess that was for tonight. shite better be off the damn chain, or I'm going to be pissed or get pissed. Think I still will.... Get pissed that is.

Why not open a different wine and drink the vintage?

Not when you pour a half a bottle of damn 20 year old Fn cab into the dish it isn't.

I'm about to kick my own damn arse.

I'm not yet, but maybe that's my problem. Maybe I need to cook drunk, or at least buzzed. It seems to help my pool play.

You need to add to your cellar so one 19 year old bottle won't bother you. And just enjoy the meal and the other half of the bottle.

That's not that big of an achievement, and certainly not a feather in your cap when you pour the damn thing in a dish.

I am, and you're right. I just couldn't believe I flicking did that and had to vent to someone.

BTW, the wine is money FWIW...

No, but my dog has this concerned look on her face. Either that or she's about to take a shite on my sofa. That would about top it off.

OP, enjoy that half a bottle and let it go. You can't put the genie back in the bottle.

What? Open a different bottle to cook with. How do you physically open a bottle of wine you didn't look at. I opened two tonight and I could describe them pretty well. Never even seen these bottles before, much less something I've been saving.

Because I am a complete and utter total fricking frontal lobotomy special needs moron. That's how that happens.

I was in a rush and cooking, not paying attention, browning flour and tomato paste and looking to deglaze.

I would have drank it at 2:30 in the morning completely shite houses, and shared it with people my wife's not a huge fan of. All while saving it for an anniversary or something. So you're good.

Yeah, Monday's a good a reason as anything I suppose.

I think the wine's kicking in. I'm feeling a lot better.
