Fettucine with Slow Cooked Pork Ragout

It's no secret that we like to entertain. It's also no secret that we like to enjoy wine. This is a recipe from a wine dinner that I cooked for. Some would say that the wine makes the meal... I disagree a little. I believe wine is a compliment to great food!

Cheers!
