      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.

      California:

      California produces the majority of wine made in the United States. Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Zinfandel and Pinot Noir dominate the wine production in California, but many other varietials thrive in the California climate. Many fine wines are produced in California using Mediterranean grapes.

      Linguine with Garlic Shrimp

      Rated

      Ingredients

      12 oz fresh shrimp, deveined
      2 large bulbs garlic
      8 oz packaged dried regular and/or spinach linguine or fettuccine
      2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
      ¾ cup yellow pepper
      1 tablespoon olive 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 tomatoes, seeded and diced
      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.
