Papa Vento's Sugo and Meatballs

Sorry, I just couldn't do one as there are several I get asked for a lot but this first one, my Dad's sauce and meatballs is the one I'm always asked to bring/cater to everybody's functions. Some have tried to make it themselves but say it never turns out the same as mine so I get to do the work. I'm sure any of you can make it!

3 to 6 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 onion, chopped
2 tablespoons light olive oil

2 small (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons regular or garlic salt
3 tablespoons sweet basil
1/2 to 1 teaspoon black pepper
2 to 4 tablespoons dry white wine or vermouth
1 teaspoon granulated sugar

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and saut
