I've heard that an open bottle of wine doesn't have a very long shelf life. Especially when you over indulged with the first bottle and thought a second bottle would be a good idea. Turns out the next day... it wasn't such a good idea. I keep mine corked and in the fridge and usually don't finish a bottle in a glass but prefer to use wine in recipes. I will never get tired of the way cooking with wine makes my house smell. Lucky for me The Pioneer Woman just happened to post a recipe on facebook from 2009 for short ribs that uses two cups of dry red wine.
Bingo! A use for the rest that second bottle cause I shore ain't gonna touch it otherwise for a while! I seriously just spelled the same way that I talk. I love it! Here's a pic and a link to her recipe and a few more. The chicken with tomatoes and garlic is absolutely one of my favorite recipes to make. I have thighs in the fridge right now for this very reason.
