Julia's inspired Boeuf Bourguignon – Boeuf a La Bourguignonne

Julia's inspired Boeuf Bourguignon
Boeuf Bourguignon may be one of Julia Child most famous recipes. For our Julia's inspired Boeuf Bourguignon, we chose a 2007 Vieilles Vignes Bourgogne, to cook with and also to drink. Mushrooms of choice were Shiitake and Crimini, remember “don’t crowd the mushrooms.” For the ‘lardoons’ we found non-cured thick slice bacon at our local grocery store. Enjoy
