      The recipe is outstanding. I would so love to try this. I'm Vegan so I cannot =( but GOOD NEWS!!! My husband is not a Vegan and he is the cook of our house and how much he would love to try this recipe. He's a lover of all things "wine" and when we first dated I remember be made chicken with wine in it, It was so good (back in my non-vegan days). Thanks for this!!
