I refuse to vote as I cannot support eating veal.

Yes, I eat meat, yes, I know cows aren't treated as well as I would prefer, but I cannot support eating an animal treated as badly as veal.

Sorry.

The Zin.

Veal is a lightly flavored beef, basically, and the Pinot's are the boldest flavors i see there.

I think the Cab would work best for a Rib-Eye, personally.

when?

Cool!

And foie gras is just evil.

ironically, I used to think hunting was wrong, but now I realize it's the only true and honest way to be a carnivore.

Hogwash. You could raise your stock and then ruthlessly slaughter them when the time comes. :p

Mmmm........ dead animal flesh. :drool:

as long as the stock you raise is free range, cool.

I'm all for eating animals, I just think we should treat them better while they're alive.

Funny, I generally find Zin to be more bold than Pinot Noir, at least to my palate.

Do we have to pick just one? I would drink the Trinity Oaks Pinot while cooking and the Zin with dinner. :)

Ok, ok. :) If you are making a full-flavored bolognese (lots of aromatics, spices, etc.) or a heavy one on the creamy side I would go with the Zin because I think it will cut through a little better. But if you are doing a less assertive sauce with a focus on the veal, drink the Trinity Pinot.

I should have gone with the Zin. I opened both Pinots & both are like sucking on a jolly rancher, but the Trinity is like sucking on a jolly rancher & a rind of grapefruit. better luck next time. :dead:

well good for you and your morals. I was a vegetarian, but veal is too good to pass up. I'd eat baby if it tasted as good as my dinner tonight.

the sauce was definitely less assertive & the recipe had no dairy. does that sound odd to you?

Well the recipes I see usually have some 1/2 & 1/2 or cream added in at some point (as in Nobody's recipe) but I guess it's open to interpretation. Sorry the wines didn't work out so well.

But the meat is so tender when they kill them before they can walk.....

Go with the Cab Sav.

I was right about the Zin.

I knew it.

I'm god.

okay, kidding.

just a lucky stab in the dark.

mostly, i had just made a damn fine bolognese last Saturday and had the leftovers on Monday and the wine we had with it was a Zin.

partly, i just love real red zin.

Yes. Check my own version to see if there's significant variance.

blah blah blah, me me me, i i i, yadda yadda.

Fact is, i'm trying to pin down the best of the best, so that's why i post my own recipes. Where they have flaws, i rely on others to help 'fix' them...
