Red Wine Risotto

"Bold flavor, creamy texture, filling. Block cheese is preferred, but pre-shredded will work. Fresh parmesan may be substituted for pecorino. Do NOT use the stuff that comes in a cardboard or plastic shaker! Adapted from The Essential Rice Cookbook published by Borders Group Inc., 2005."
