For an even deeper flavor, marinate the brisket overnight in a mixture of the red wine, garlic, and black pepper. If you prefer a thicker sauce, whisk a tablespoon of cornstarch with two tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the sauce during the last 15 minutes of baking. Leftovers are even better the next day! The flavors meld together beautifully as the brisket sits in the sauce.
