This classic sauce has as many variations as there are cooks preparing it. The version here has a few more ingredients than some other versions, but all add to the complex flavor of this sauce. I have actually seen some recipes that only use wine, cream, and peppercorns. This version will hold well in a bain marie for long periods./ The Noilly Prat is a brand of French vermouth with its own distinct flavor, but other dry, white vermouths or even dry, white wines can be substituted for it in this recipe./ This sauce goes well with poultry as well as grilled, roasted, or pan-fried red meats.
