Author Notes
This recipe has been in the works for years - additions and subtractions along the way, tweaks here and there. But in the current version, it has a little heat, a little sweet, and a little wine. The goat cheese topper may seem odd but was a desperate measure when I realized I had no sour cream a few years ago and I haven't gone back. —cjzern
