- Stir in red wine and cook for 1 minute.
- Add remaining ingredients, stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
- Simmer over medium for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust seasonings.
- Reduce heat to low-medium low, cover and continue to cook for at least 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally (the longer the better).
