years ago we used to make a burnt wine salad dressing. it was in the nouveau days. you pour your older wine in a very hot sauce pan and cook it down by half. then wisk in a touch of dijon,salt and pepper then a light oil (grapeseed or corn). you will see that you dont need much oil,,more like equal parts. try this,,,it really is pretty good!
