Wolfgang Puck and epicurious.com have collaborated on a very well-done Oscar party menu. "Wolfgang Puck's Oscar Party" offers ideas for food, drinks, decorating, and more. The main course consists of Wine-Braised Brisket of Beef, which calls for one bottle of red wine. It doesn't specify what kind of red wine, so Daily Olive has a word of advice: cook with wine that you would drink. Wine Spectator agrees and a recent article in the magazine also explains what wines to use in all kinds of cooking. The key is to enhance the flavor of the fish, chicken, or beef, not to overwhelm it.
