That braising liquid is what made it so wonderful. Had great layers and depths of flavors. I have a good friend who is a professional chef (retired) who had a couple of restaurants in Atlanta before retiring. He happened to walk into the kitchen when it was cooking and he raised his nose in the air like an old coonhound sniffing the air and said "something sure smells good" and he was able to name off about 6 ingredients he could detect without even knowing what the recipe was. His first comment was, "I can smell the wine"
It was cool here last night, too - didn't get up to 70 until about noon. Sunday a REAL cold front is supposed to hit down here, with nighttime temps in the 40s. It's been a good winter so far, tho, no frosts where we have to run around covering all the flowers and shrubs.
We LOVE prime rib - oh, well - those were the good ole days.
