I really hope someone who is in the know sees this and can answer my query.
Long ago I did a pot roast and added red wine to it as it was braising, and yes it was a red wine that normally I would drink. However something went terribly wrong unless it didn't and I just don't like red wine in my pot roast. Please indulge an explanation, what came out looked delicious much like Adam's pot roast he did in a video awhile back. It did not however taste delicious. Now I completely understand the info I've given is not much, I will say though looking very tasty the flavor was completely off, bordering on inedible. This was in my early days of learning to cook so I readily admit a number of things could have gone wrong but there was an extremely strong to my taste alcohol flavor (and yes alcohol is in quotes because technically there should have been none there given temperature and time of cooking) and this extremely tart grape flavor. If anyone who is knowledgeable would care to engage in a discord of what I may have done wrong if not many things done wrong lol I will happily provide whatever extra info may be needed I can remember. I enjoy wine, would I say I'm a connoisseur, not at all but I have enjoyed all different kinds at all different price points. That being said it may have boiled down to just the wrong wine.
Couple extra pieces of info.
First, no I cannot remember the brand or type, I do remember it was red lol and while it was definitely something I otherwise thought was a good wine my taste back then were not as learned as they are today.
Second, if it matters it was not extremely expensive but wasn't super cheap either.
To anyone who offers any tips let me thank you now in advance, and may you and yours have a most joyful holiday season. If however nobody chooses to tackle this I completely understand lol, certainly this time of year we all have so much more to be doing than helping a stranger figure out what he did wrong twenty years ago making a pot roast lol.
Finally I brought this up here because this was another among many videos where Adam uses wine in his cooking, it is something that done right can only enhance flavor and being a person who enjoys drinking wine and eating it lol when others cook with it properly I would like to try again one day. Thank you again to anyone who can help and to anyone who made it through this diatribe, again, Happy holidays.

In Germany this is called Hochzeitssuppe > wedding soup
It is usually a broth (not necessarily chicken) with diced vegetables (carrots, white asparagus, celery root, etc, meatballs (again, not necessarily chicken) and several types of dumplings (some examples are liver dumplings, semolina dumplings, royale dumplings. But no greens - at least I haven't seen it with it! Though the recipes vary wildly from region to region!
As far as I can tell, it is called wedding soup, as it is an easy - but delicious - soup, that can be made for big groups of people - just like the ones you have at a wedding: . Depending on the region, it is a must to have the local variation of this soup at your wedding. Basically, the more traditional a region is, the more likely you will find it at a wedding in that region.

Adam,
You said in one video or another that you are aware of the fact that consuming meat (especially beef, but also in jeneral) is harmful to the environment (and morally questionable) and that you are trying to reduce your meat consumption. Don't you think it would be nice if you will let it show on your recipe videos? You really do impact people's cooking. More vegetarian recipes could make a difference. Actually, I reckon if you will credit yourself with half of the co2 redaction from substituning half of your (future) meat videos with vegetarian ones you can offset your carbon.
By the way, if Adam doesn't read comments, can someone tell me maybe find a way to contact him? I believe it does matter.
Sorry about my Less-than-good english.

My family makes this soup with escarole as our greens, and that s also what we call the soup: Escarole soup, or simply scarole as my very old school south philly Italian grandfather would say.
We also do small meatballs with the meat trifecta in addition to shredded chicken, there s no pasta, and there is also an egg and pecorino cheese mixture that gets mixed in at the very end, some of which curdles and some stays fluid, and creates a really nice texture and flavor.
Probably a thousand variations to this from family to family I d think. Nice video.

When I think of wedding soup I yhink of pork, beef, lamb, and possibly veal meatballs, with chicken peices, and kindof gnocchi like dumplings, and sofrito and some fresh herbs
Like fresh parsley and fresh herbs in the broth. Its kindof an occasion thing when i have it.
This is experience from my dads and grandmas cooking
Id say like 3rd or 4th generation italian, grew up and they in a small kinda rural mostly italian immigrant populated town

This looks way too complicated for such a dish. I admit I never tasted Italian meatball soup, but any other kind of meatball soup I know can be done in 2 hours tops, requiring a lot fewer steps than yours did. And I'm not talking about professional cooks or YT videos, but my own home cooking experience (and that of my friends & family.
BTW you should get a small table top meat grinder, it's like 50 or so and makes things much easier.

2: 31 Whoa, aren't you worried about breaking the oven glass with that pot? Both from the pot's weight or thermal shock? It must weight at least 15 pounds full of water, and with part of the pot on the metal lip and the other part directly on the glass creates a single point of pressure where all the force is concentrated magnifying it's ability to break the glass.

would you do something like this with chicken wings?
the ones found at the local grocer/ butcher always have way to many fathers left (stubs, too small to be easily removed, too large to be burnt off properly.
and I'm not necessarily talking about using it for meatballs but as a general method of processing meat

My grandma made her wedding soup with both tiiiiny meatballs and chopped up chicken. Also she made these little chunks of baked cheese that were like fun little sponges spread through the soup. My aunt and cousin have carried down the recipe perfectly, thank goodness.
