Drain all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the pan. Add the vegetables and cook until softened.
Add the wine and cook until reduced about 15 minutes.
Combine the veggies and all the remaining ingredients into the slow cooker.
Cook on low for up to 8 hours, or high up to 4 hours. When done, the beef should easily fall off the bone.
Serve over mashed potatoes, polenta, or grits. Garnish with fresh thyme and parsley.
Notes
You can use anywhere from 6-10 short ribs for this recipe. It just depends on how many people you'd like to serve and how big the short ribs are. Beef broth can be substituted for the red wine. The exact amount of broth you use may vary depending on the size and shape of your slow cooker or crockpot. The short ribs need to all be at least partially submerged in the liquid.
