I left out the white wine and the taste was great!

I added some cooked shrimp in at the end and just heated through. Very good and creamy texture. Softer than regular risotto but it had a lot of flavor and we really enjoyed it.

I liked the recipe. It wasn't mushy at all. Very good and cheesy.

This makes a pretty good facsimile of real risotto. Depending on your crock pot, the cooking time might be a bit long. It worked fine for me but models that cook "hotter" might over cook it. The texture is a bit creamier than real risotto but we thought it was pretty good. The flavor is excellent.

Came out more pasty than expected (more like an asian sticky rice dish) but from other recipies I looked at that may be a function of the slow cooker method. I suggest keeping a close eye on the liquid. I think in my crock pot two hours was a bit too long.
