White wine and creme fraiche sauce, but no wine - should I use stock?

[Bumperlicious]

I'm using left over roast chicken and creme fraiche to make a kind of creamy tarragon sauce, usually I would use white wine, but I wanted to get one of those small bottles but the co-op didn't have any. I probably have a normal bottle but am 39+6 weeks pg, so probably not the best time to be finishing 3/4 of a bottle of wine and I wouldn't want to waste it!

I know it won't taste as nice but should I just use a bit of chicken stock to make the sauce?

yes, stock fine. If you have a bottle of sherry open (pale sherry) you could add a tiny drop of that for aroma?

i'd use an ordinary bottle of wine and then reduce and freeze what you didn't use in ice cube trays. once frozen bag them up and you will then have some wine in the freeze for the next time this problem occurs. you should probably label them though as you do not want to be confusing them for expressed breast milk later on!

My cream sauces are always cream and a knorr chicken stock cube. Savoury sauces that is, I don't think custard would be very nice with a stock cube in it

Thanks all, will use stock. Witch, that's a v good idea, but freezer is chock full as I have been hoarding due to imminent DC2
