He has certainly forgotten how much of learning to cook is trial and
error. I wish he would treat his own wife with kindness, but his
focus seems to be all about him. "Do it my way, dammit. I'm right
and you're wrong. You dared to put wine in my brisket after I told
you not to? It's swill and I'm throwing it out."

Acting that way to strangers over the internet is one thing, but being
that callous in real life is an entirely different kettle of fish.

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.
