      I wish, bach. There isn't really anything in wine better than a great Barolo.

        Remember the other day when I suggested you dunk your cherries in the wine? I was trying to recall a recipe I had once -- I can't, but it had to do with cherries in Barolo.

          Okay, this was driving me crazy, so I dug out my ancient dessert recipe file (stuff collected before the Internet! Like, clippings!) and searched for this cherries in Barolo recipe.

          Found many nice things. Hazelnut & Chocolate Pithiviers. Fresh Fruit Saute w/Rich Cream Biscuits. Balsamic Strawberry & Raspberry Shortcakes. Rocky Road Ice Cream. Oh yeah -- suffer, ye bourgeoisie.

          Found it! Here it is:

          Ciliege Al Barolo (Cherries in Barolo Wine)

          2 lbs large pitted sour cherries
          1-1/2 cups sugar
          2-1/2 cups Barolo
          1-1/2 cups whipping cream, whipped

          Combine cherries, sugar and wine in a small pan, ideally earthenware. Slowly bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until cherries are soft, about 30". Cool. Pour into glass bowl and cover with whipped cream Serve with glasses of Barolo.

          Okay, it was a little more complex than I remembered, but now you know I wasn't making it up.

                Anyone who soaks cherries in a good Barolo deserves neither. Blasphemy. Expensive blasphemy.

                  Yeah but if professional wine tasters tried a glass of Barolo that cherries had been secretly dipped in, they would love the subtle notes of fresh cherry.

                  Education is extremely important.

                                      Btw I’ve been to the town of Barolo.

                                      Small little country town in gorgeous piedmont countryside. Wasn’t particularly crowded. You sit at a little osteria on a patio and pick which Barolo by the glass u want, not expensive at all.

                                      All around are grape vines and hazel nut trees. ( the area is also where Nutella was born, chocolate and hazel nut spread)

                                      What a lovely place.
