    We have that last bottle of Ray Ward ready for his visit
    today, plus three boxes of cheap stuff as reinforcement.

    I guess that bottle is history now; I'd love to hear more about it.

    I searched on Australia and red wine and this is the first thing
    that popped up that I didn't find here in the first place.

    Saute vegetables until golden brown, sprinkle with a little flour, add
    wine and reduce a little. Add cheeks, thyme, seasoning and stock and
    bring to a simmer. Cover and cook in 150 C oven for approximately
    1 1/2 hours.

    When meat is cooked, remove cheeks and reduce sauce to a good
    consistency. Return cheeks to sauce and keep warm until ready to
    serve. Serve with garlic mashed potatoes topped with gremolata.

    I'd love to hear more about it.

    Ray Ward didn't leave much of a digital footprint. He's cited in
    just a couple of articles.

    his wife Joan [...] was totally demented

    How sad.

    eventually the wine was sacrificed ...
    Kevin was too overcome to say anything bad about it,
    nor about me for a whole day afterward.

    The wine made a profound impact then.


    Cheers
