Tossed in some garlic, a few cloves, a little bouquet garnie. I plan to simmer for 3 hours, plate tails, strain the pan juices and spoon over tails. Have a cabbage dish my wife is doing, involves a quick pan fry with bacon.

So, what wine? I'm thinking a Cab Sav.

Anyone cook something similar? Not sure how this will all turn out, but think I came up with a solid recipe and method.

Sounds great similar to mine except I don't use foie and I use yellow or red peppers, along with some thyme and allspice in addition to the ingredients.

Allspice. Good call. Might replace the cloves with allspice next time.
