Is a Blush Wine too sweet to cook with?
I have a delicious blush wine made from Muscadine grapes that I bought at a local winery I visited recently. I bought a case and love to drink it but wanted to experiment with it as well. Is it ok to use a kind of sweet wine to cook with? I was thinking maybe a creamy garlic wine sauce with pasta??? Any other suggestions?

YES … it’s too sweet to cook with! …. maybe (a BIG maybe) you could use it in a dessert sauce, but that’s about it….. It’s basically a “party” wine

I like sweet chicken (i use fruit when marinating chicken sometimes, maybe you could pan fry chicken with some wine, oil and soy sauce, serve over rice like chinese style?
I would just probably stick to the drinking it though.

Dry white wines are much better. I’d stay away from cooking with Blush at all costs. It would probably be a big waste of food!

The mistake a lot of people make is thinking they can use liquor store wine to cook with. Those are designed for drinking, not cooking.
I use cooking wine for cooking.
My suggestion would be to experiment with it (since you have a case) and see if it is to your taste.
Not everyone has taste for the same things.
