1. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Saute onion, celery, and garlic until tender, about 8 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Stir in broth. Add potatoes, clam juice, wine, seafood seasoning, and hot sauce. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat. Simmer, stirring chowder occasionally, until potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
