Personal Notes:
This is a pretty freelance recipe, using ingredients you prefer, but this is how I've made it the last couple of times and the red wine really adds a wonderful flavour to the dish. Also, when making the mashed potatoes, make sure to add butter, milk or cream and really make them rich. It all adds to the wonderfulness of this comforting dish.
