Slow Cooker Coq Au Vin image

This is a recipe attributed to Reese Witherspoon that was printed in the December 2008 issue of Good Housekeeping. There's another recipe of hers on 'Zaar that was apparently from Ellen Degeneres' website but for some reason this one is slightly different. I'm posting it here so I won't misplace it.
