Classic Mixed: Day 3

2022 Cascade Syrah

Rich and bold, this wine opens with intense aromas of ripe blueberries and dark chocolate, layered with warm spice and a subtle touch of toasted oak.

The palate is lush and full-bodied, revealing velvety tannins and a seamless balance of fruit, spice, and oak. A lingering, sophisticated finish makes this wine an excellent choice for those who enjoy a decadent, fruit-forward red with depth and complexity.

Slow Cooker Short Ribs

Tender, melt-in-your-mouth short ribs braised low and slow in a savory blend of red wine, aromatics, and herbs. Rich, comforting, and packed with flavor, these ribs make every meal feel like a special occasion.

Ingredients:

4 lbs beef short ribs
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 carrots, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 cup red wine
2 cups beef broth
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves

Steps:

Season the short ribs with salt and pepper. In a skillet, sear them in olive oil over medium-high heat until browned on all sides.
Transfer the ribs to a slow cooker. Add onions, garlic, carrots, and celery.
Stir together red wine, beef broth, and tomato paste; pour over the ribs. Add rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves.
Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours, until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.
Remove herbs and serve ribs with the braising sauce spooned over the top.

Rich, comforting, and packed with flavor.
