Maybe I'm a freak, but I don't think I'd have gotten too offended if my husband had said that. But context really is everything:
-- we share cooking chores
-- he'll try anything I make and likes a good amount of it
-- once in a while he'll say, "I'm not too hungry so thuis would be a good night to go out for [something I like that he doesn't]" - I do this for him too.
-- he'd probably have followed with something constructive like, "The herbs are OK, I think it's just the yogurt. Could you use cream or something as a base instead?" I haven't poached in wine but I've got a recipe for chicken poached in vinegar and chicken broth that's very tasty.
On the other hand if it had been on top of continual complaining about my cooking when he didn't do any, I'd have been extremely upset, and it sounds like this was the case at your house.

I'm with all the others who say it sounds tasty, though. Did you cook the sauce at all, just warm it up, or serve it cold? If cold, did you leave the garlic raw?
