Homer's Best Marinade

After several taste tests, cooking experiments and lots of eating, we found this to be the best marinade for beef brisket. The wine will tenderize the meat so it will melt in your mouth. You can also use this marinade for any beef you plan to grill or smoke. This recipe will make enough for 3-4 pounds of beef.
