A friend gave me a bottle of '97 Merlot and it's pretty much unused. I want to use it, but besides drinking, anyways, does anyone have any ideas to use it in cooking?

Really Nice!

Yeah, my eyebrown went up as well...

Phatlouie07, are you telling us you have a OPENED bottle? And if so, how long has been open (not from 1997, I hope!)...

i meant to say it's never been opened.

Okay, now tell us the vintner -- as opposed to cooking with it, the bottle might be an exceptional drinking bottle ('97 was an exceptional year in Napa and Sonoma)! If so, cooking with it would hardly be the best thing for it.

There are several different KJ Merlots, if it says Buckeye Vineyard on the label then drink it, otherwise I'd use it to make a sauce for a rib roast or some steaks.
