Add the wine and allow to cook on high heat for one minute, lower heat to just above a simmer, add the tomatoes and stir---> to incorporate the ingredient s in the tomatoes. Add the rest of the ingredients, except the salt and pepper, give them a few good stirs and cook for about 2 hours, or until the beef is tend er, stirring frequently.
