Increase the heat slightly and stir in the wine, allow to bubble off for a minute. Stir in the dried mushrooms along with their soaking liquid. Add the stock a ladleful at a time, stirring as you go, allowing the liquid to be absorbed before adding the next. After 10 minutes, stir in the chestnut mushrooms and cook for a further 5-6 minutes until the rice is just al dente.
