Steps:
- To make the sauce, heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over med-high heat.
- Add in the onion and garlic; stir/saute for a few minutes or until well softened but not browned.
- Add in the wine; bring to a boil; continue boiling 1-2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.
- Transfer mixture to the slow cooker.
- Add in tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, pepper, basil, oregano, parsley, allspice, and bay leaf; stir to combine.
- Cover and cook on HIGH while you prepare the meatballs.
- To make the meatballs: add the ground beef to a large mixing bowl, breaking it up a bit with your fingers or a large fork.
- Add in the breadcrumbs, eggs, Parmesan, salt, pepper, basil, oregano, parsley, and allspice.
- Gently but thoroughly blend the ingredients, using your hands or a large fork.
- Be careful not to compact the meat, which will make your meatballs tough.
- Gently shape the mixture into 12 meatballs, each a little bigger than a golf ball.
- Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over med-high heat; add in the meatballs and brown on all sides, 6-10 minutes, turning carefully.

- Pour off any fat from the skillet, return to the stove and add the wine.
- Cover over high heat for 2-3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the pan.
