Pinot Noir:

(pee noh nwahr)—A tricky grape to grow, Pinot Noir makes some of the best wines in the world. The prototype wine is red Burgundy from France but Oregon, California, New Zealand, and parts of Australia also produce good Pinot Noir. The wine is lighter in color than Cabernet or Merlot with relatively high alcohol, medium-to-high acidity, and medium-to-low tannin. Its flavors and aromas can be very fruity or earthy and woodsy, depending on how it is grown. It is rarely blended with other grapes.


Santa Lucia Highlands:

Santa Lucia Highlands are an appellation located in the Salinas Valley in Monterey California. In the northeast the climate is cooler, and chardonnay is the key grape. Where as in the southwest the weather is warmer and Pinot noir Dominates.

Syrah:

Originally grown in France’s Northern Rhône Valley (where it is a noble variety) this grape has spread to Australia, California, Washington, Italy and Spain. In the Rhone region this grape produces deeply colored wines with full body and firm tannin, however in Australia, where it is known as Shiraz, the wines are lighter and fruitier. Aromas and flavors for these wines vary as much as their geographical breadth suggests: berries, smoked meat, bell peppers, even tar.


Shiraz:

Australian name for the grape known as Syrah in France.

Green Bean, Tomato, And Olive Salad

Rated

Ingredients

1/2 lb. fresh whole green beans, cooked
1/2 lb. ripe cherry tomatoes, halved
¼ cup olive condite
3 tbsp of the oil it is preserved in
½ cup scallion, chopped
6 whole anchovy, flat fillets

Preparation

Top and tail the beans, which should be small ones, and throw them into a fairly large amount of boiling salted water for about three to five minutes, depending on their freshness. Cooked beans should be crisp-tender and not starchy. Drain, refresh in cold water, and cool them on paper towels.

Olive condite is a mixed green-olive antipasto with bits of sweet pepper, capers, and whatnot packed in olive oil and flavored with vinegar. Italian growers use up their broken olives in this highly seasoned and very tasty mix; it's very modestly priced and available in supermarkets everywhere.

Mix everything listed except the anchovy fillets and let the salad sit at room temperature for half an hour before serving. Garnish just before serving with the anchovies or, if you prefer, artichoke hearts preserved in oil.
