Red wine pot roast with mushrooms

I made this recipe for red-wine pot roast with porcini a few nights ago and I have to say I wasn’t impressed. Granted, I used portobello mushrooms instead of porcini, as they didn’t have any of the latter at the supermarket, but I think the problem was actually with the celery. Perhaps I used too much celery, perhaps the problem was that the celery had wilted (in a very strange way) after an afternoon left out of the fridge, or perhaps it was the type of celery (I’d bought organic celery at the farmer’s market). In any case, the sauce tasted too much like broth. Mike liked it, I didn’t.
