The red wine sauce was wonderful. I made a little extra so that there would be enough to accompany a 6 lb roast. I didn't grill the roast - instead is used Rita's Prime Rib Roast Beef with Fresh Garlic and Rosemary Prime Rib Roast Beef With Fresh Garlic and Rosemary. They worked very well together.
