I agree it sounds delicious, but we’re having fake spring right now. It’s been in the mid 70s. I’ll hold this for a couple of weeks till winter comes back. All the people in town for the Super Bowl are getting a bit of an unusual weather treat.

Made this. While delicious, it's NOT a cheap dish...a 2# chuck roast was $30 and the wine (burgundy could NOT be found. Apparently there is a global climate issue with the grape. Since burgundy is the primary grape for Pinot Noir, I used a bottle of that ($20)). Then there were the pearl onions and the cremini mushrooms. All in all, it worked out to be about $8 per for 8 servings.

In another reality, it would be at least 3-4 times more expensive in a restaurant.



In Asheville, it is served as a soup/stew for $26. I think I prefer my version.
