Chile:

Although the Spaniards first established vineyards here in the mid 16th century, most of today’s Chilean wine is made from French grape varieties, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Chardonnay. Chile’s isolated position between the Pacific and the Andes means it is safe from pests and disease that plague European vineyards, and also assures mild temperatures and relatively dry air. Most of Chile’s vineyards are in the Central Valley, and a fair number of them are owned by renowned French, Spanish, and American winemakers. Wines are named for their grape varieties, but they carry a regional or district indication as well. Reasonably priced, and increasingly sophisticated, they make excellent values.


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.

Ingredients

2/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 scallions, sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
Pepper to taste
2 tsp brown sugar
1-1/2 lbs lean beef, cut into bite-size pieces
2 tbsp sesame oil
4 cups chopped broccoli

Preparation

1. In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, scallions, onion, pepper, and brown sugar. Add the beef and marinate for 10 minutes.

2. In a large wok or skillet over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the beef, and sauté until the meat is cooked to your liking, stirring occasionally. Remove the cooked beef from the pan and reserve. Add the broccoli and saute until tender. Add water if you need additional moisture. Add reserved beef to pan and toss to warm and coat the broccoli. Serve with a side brown or white rice.
