Weeknight Bolognese

This dish was OK. I followed the recipe exactly. I tasted it before adding the final few ingredients and it tasted good. At the end you add nutmeg, basil, cream and the remaining 1/4 cup of wine, and simmer for 8-10 minutes. The recipe called for dry red wine, I used Cabernet Sauvignon. I am not a wine drinker, so perhaps a better choice of wine or a longer simmer after the final addition would have made for a better tasting dish. I asked my husband his opinion, and he said he wouldn't ask me to make it again, because the wine flavor was overpowering. So I guess this makes 3 out of over 100 of Ina's recipes that I wouldn't repeat, at least not without adjusting the type or amount of wine.,
