If that’s from your cellar I’m moving in. I’ll leave when the lockdown is over.

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, whippedCombine 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.

Happy birthday, Mr. B!

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.

HBD, man!
You should go for a bike ride.
