I've never made Brussels sprouts before, but this recipe made it easy. I'll definitely be making it again.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add my own personal touches. I usually add some chopped bacon and mushrooms to the sauce.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my wine sauce turned out really watery. Maybe I didn't reduce it enough.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover wine. I always have a bottle of red wine open, so this is a perfect recipe for me.

I thought the recipe was a bit bland. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.

The Brussels sprouts were a little overcooked for my taste, but the wine sauce was excellent.
