Just thought I'd pass along a tip for storing wine. I got some a few silicone ice cube trays and when I open a bottle of wine for use in deglazing I put the rest in the trays and freeze. Frozen wine keeps well enough to use for cooking and is convenient. I keep the trays in a ziploc freezer bag so they don't sublimate in the freezer. The wine isn't exactly frozen, its more like a hard slush that can easily be popped out with a fork or spoon.

Also all recipes that talk about using butter for finishing a sauce never say why the pan is taken off the heat and why you can't just let it melt into the sauce. I've been learning how to make sauces and it finally occured to me that the addition of the butter at the end is simply creating a variant of a beurre blanc with the sauce as the liquid instead of a reduced acid such as wine or vinegar!
