It’s tough to call a recipe “The Best” because food evolves and ingredients change.
I think these recipes are good because I like them, they taste good and go well with wine so I’m going to call them:

Coq Au Vin, Chicken Stewed in Red Wine
In a large skillet, bring the wine to a boil over high heat. Woody’s Note: you’re trying to burn off some of the alcohol so simply reduce it for a minute or two on high boil. Remove the skillet from the heat, turn your exhaust fan to high and being careful, use a long match or fireplace lighter and try to ignite the wine at the edge of the pan. If it doesn’t light continue reducing and try again. When the flames subside, whisk in the tomato paste.
