For an even richer flavor, marinate the oxtail in the white wine overnight before cooking. If you don't have a Dutch oven, a large, heavy-bottomed pot will work just as well. Feel free to add other vegetables, such as potatoes or parsnips, during the last hour of cooking. The stew tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have had time to meld together. Serve with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or a dollop of sour cream for added freshness.
