Steps:
- Heat the butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat; cook and stir the yellow and red onion, shallots, garlic, tomato, carrots, and mushrooms until the onions are translucent and the carrots have softened, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour in the beef broth and 1 cup of Merlot, and bring to a boil, scraping and dissolving any browned bits of flavor from the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat, and simmer until the vegetables are very soft and the pan juices have reduced by half, about 20 minutes.
- Strain out and discard the vegetables from the sauce. Return the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat, stir in 1/4 cup of Merlot wine, and reduce heat. Simmer the sauce until it is reduced to 1/4 of its original volume, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes.

RED WINE REDUCTION DESSERT SAUCE
I got these recipe ingredients from Chef Bruce at the Red Rooster Cafe in New Braunfels, TX. I serve this sauce with fresh blackberries from my dad's garden. Layer in a wine glass, sweetened whipped cream, berries, sauce, then more whipped cream. Top with a berry and sprinkle with a little powdered sugar. So good! They also use this sauce on their Monte Cristo Sandwich.

RED WINE REDUCTION SAUCE
Steps:
- Saute onion and garlic in 2 tablespoons butter. Add 1/2 cup of hot beef stock. Simmer 10 minutes. Add the rest of the beef stock and butter; add the other liquid ingredients. Simmer 20 minutes. Season. Process in blender until smooth.
Tips:
- Use a good quality red wine. A dry, full-bodied red wine will produce the best results.
- Reduce the wine slowly over medium heat. This will allow the flavors to develop and concentrate.
- Don't let the wine boil. Boiling will cause the wine to lose its flavor and become bitter.
- Add a little bit of sugar or honey to the wine if you want a sweeter sauce.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
- Use the sauce to glaze roasted vegetables, grilled meats, or fish.
- Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Red wine reduction sauce is a versatile and delicious sauce that can be used to enhance the flavor of a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
