The sauce was pretty bland. Too much cream, not enough wine flavor. Added a lot of salt to make it decent. The sauce broke after I took it off the heat. I wouldn't make it again for myself. I wanted something more flavorful but it tasted really plain.

Made this recipe twice and was pleased with the results. The first time came out too watery and not as flavorful as I like. The second time I used half the water and added a pinch of salt and some crushed pecans to the topping and it came out better.

I hardly noticed the cheese in this. I do not think it is worth the effort of stuffing the dates with cheese. I tried both this recipe and some chevre (goat cheese) and both times the cheese seemed to disappear. I used maple bacon which made a nice aroma and did not make the dates too sweet. I also wrapped the dates with a whole slice of bacon instead of a portion of a slice and they were very good.
