Carneros:

This small section of Northern California is situated at the base of both the Napa and Sonoma Valleys. Carneros has made its reputation with its Pinot Noirs, which are filled with strawberry, cherry, spice, and chocolate, and are very rich and seductive. Chardonnay is also excellent, very buttery but not too fat.


Chardonnay:

(shar dohn nay)—This noble grape’s reputation was established in France, particularly in the Burgundy region, and the highly prized Chardonnay wines from Chablis, Mâcon, Mersault, and Pouilly-Fuissé are imitated by winemakers around the world. Generally an oaked wine (whether from expensive oak barrels or a quick soak in oak chips), its fruity aromas and flavors range from apple in the cooler regions to tropical fruits such a pineapple in the warmer regions. It can also display subtle earthy aromas, such as mushroom or minerals. It has a medium to high acidity and is generally full-bodied. Classical Chardonnay wines are dry. Chardonnay is also an important grape in the Champagne district where it's picked before fully ripe and while it still has high acid and understated fruit flavors—the perfect combination for champagne. California has adopted this grape with a fervor and there are some 200 wineries producing Chardonnay wines in other parts of the United States. Chardonnay has also seen a tremendous planting surge in Australia, and new vineyards are being planted in Italy, Lebanon, New Zealand, Spain, and South Africa.

Santa Rita Hills:

Commercial vineyards were literally non-existent in the region until the 1890's. In 2001 it gained its AVA recognition. The Santa Rita Hills run east to west inside the Santa Ynez Valley. The valley creates a natural channel allowing cool ocean air from the Pacific Ocean to flow through the valley. The micro climate created in the Santa Rita Hills area is well-suited for growing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Linguine with Garlic Shrimp

Rated

Ingredients

12 oz fresh or frozen, peeled, deveined shrimp
2 large bulbs garlic
8 oz packaged dried regular and/or spinach linguine or fettuccine
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
3/4 cup chopped yellow or green sweet pepper (1 medium)
1 tbsp olive oil or cooking oil
1/2 cup water
1 tbsp snipped fresh basil or 1 tsp dried basil, crushed
2 tsp cornstarch
1-1/2 tsp snipped fresh oregano or 1/2 tsp dried oregano, crushed
1/2 tsp instant chicken bouillon granules
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
2 medium tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped
1/4 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Thaw shrimp, if frozen. Set aside. For garlic paste, cut 1/2 inch off the pointed portions of garlic bulbs. Remove the outer papery layers of the garlic. Place both bulbs on a piece of foil. Bring edges of foil together to form a pouch. Seal. Bake garlic in a 375° oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until very soft. When cool enough to handle, use your fingers to press garlic pulp from each clove. Mash pulp with a spoon or fork to make a smooth paste (should have about 2 to 3 tablespoons). Set aside.

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain. Cover to keep warm.

Meanwhile, in a large saucepan cook mushrooms and sweet pepper in hot oil until pepper is tender.

In a small bowl stir together the garlic paste, water, basil, cornstarch, oregano, bouillon, granules, and black pepper. Add to mushroom mixture in saucepan. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Add the shrimp to the mushroom mixture. Cover and simmer about 2 minutes or until shrimp turn pink. Stir in tomatoes; heat through.

To serve, spoon shrimp over pasta. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Toss to combine.
