Meanwhile, heat olive oil in heavy large wide pot over medium heat.

Sprinkle roasts with salt and pepper.

Add 1 roast to pot and cook until brown on all sides, about 13 minutes.

Transfer to large plate; repeat with remaining roast.

Spoon fat from pot.

Return roasts and any accumulated juices to pot, tucking roasts to fit in single layer.

Pour reduced red wine over; cover.

Transfer roasts to oven and braise 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Turn roasts over.

Cover and braise until roasts are tender, about 1 hour 15 minutes longer.

Transfer roasts to cutting board; tent with foil.

Strain braising liquid into medium saucepan, pressing on solids in strainer.

Spoon fat from surface of braising liquid; keep liquid warm.

Prepare the Vegetables:
Melt butter with olive oil in heavy large skillet over high heat.

Add celery root, turnips, and carrots.

Sprinkle with salt and pepper. saute until browned in spots, about 8-10 minutes.

Add 1 cup braising liquid from pot roast.

Cover, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.

Uncover, increase heat to high, and bring to a boil.

Stir in sugar.

Add sage and parsley and cook until sauce is reduced to glaze, stirring often, about 1 minute.
