    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            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, 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.
