You think like me Miles, I like what I'd call thresher's meals. Not fancy, but good, and enough of it.
The kind of meals cooked for a lot of hungry, hard working men.

It's a shame you've never had a meal prepared by a good Chef. The term chef is bandied about especially with the 1001 cooking shows on the air.

A splash of wine really can add some interesting flavors to dishes. When I make a stew after browning the meat and onions I use a good dash of Cabernet to deglaze the pot. It really adds a richness to the flavor.

There are all different kinds of foods and ways to prepare them to create whatever flavor profile is intended.

So I'm way late to this party, understood, but this stuff is very good. You'll have to send away, dunno if that's an option for you or in your state but this is excellent brandy (the Armenians still call it Cognac even though the rules have been re-written). Aged 10 years, by Cognac standards, it's a XO and it is very good for a $30 spirit shipped. It's flavorful and will do very well for the pot, and it's also great neat or in a sidecar. Also, if you just can't stand ragheads, Armenians are predominantly Christian so don't let that be a deterring factor.

I use remedyliquor.com or missionliquor.com

Louis XIII Cognac over $3000 a bottle aged 100 yrs
True story this passed Saturday night dinner with another couple at a very high end steak house.They have a large liquor cart with desserts and high end liquor. The cart is directly behind our booth and my friend leans back and stretches and knocks a bottle off the cart. The staff and waiter hear the loud bang on the floor and run over....the look on their faces was the same look you would have if your dog got hit by a car,jaws opened and silence for a few seconds till the girl mutters it's the Louis! All of it split on the floor except less than a quarter of the bottle,she says that was a $5000 bottle of cognac. Ooopps . They charge $250 for a small 2 shot glass . They were good about it and didn't fuss too much after the initial shock wore off

That's priceless, in more ways than one.
