Can I make this without the wine?

Yes. Use extra beef broth plus 1 tsp vinegar to get the same depth without alcohol.

Will the turnips taste bitter?

Cooking them low and slow in the oven softens the flavor. They taste mild and potato-like in this stew.

Yes. Brown the beef and sauté the aromatics first, then cook everything on low for 6 to 8 hours. Add the xanthan gum slurry at the end.
