Spain:

This mountainous country possesses more vineyard land than any other country on earth, and ranks third in wine production after France and Italy. Spain is best known for its red Riojas and its Sherries, however other wines and regions are quickly gaining notoriety. Like France, Spain divides wine into categories; table wine at the bottom level and quality wine at the top, with a large emphasis on geographical origin. VdM (Vino de Mesa) is a basic table wine. VC (Vino Comarcal) wines are a level up. VdlT (Vino de la Tierra) refers to one of the country’s 25 distinct regions, and each wine possesses a local character. At the top level, only about fifty wines are considered DO (Denominacion de Origen). These wines come from the best-known regions and are the equivalent of France’s Appellation Contrôlée. DOC (Denominacion de Origen Calificada) is reserved for wines that adhere to the most stringent regulations. So far, Rioja is the only wine to gain the Calificada classification.

Cava:

Cava began when Don Jose Raventos, traveling across Europe from Spain selling red and white wine stumbled upon a sparkling wine in the region of champagne. So fascinated by this drink, he returned to Spain and ready to attempt his own sparkler. Later importing Champagne equipment he produced the first Methode Champenoise sparkler in 1872. Using secondary fermentation like the French, Raventos had created Cava. After discussion with other winemakers in the region, it was agreed that Penedes was to become the Champagne of Spain, and the rest is history. In the present, Cava can be found brut nature to Sweet, or in rare cases a Cava rose. Note than any sparkling wine made by tank or bulk method is not a Cava.

Barbecued Ribs

Rated

Ingredients

2 2-lb pork spareribs
2 cups cider vinegar
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp Spice Mix
1-1/2 cups ketchup
4 tbsp butter
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1-1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp cayenne
1/4 cup apple cider

Preparation

1. Place ribs in a shallow pan. For marinade, mix together vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, spice mix, and cayenne, then pour over ribs, turning to coat well. Cover and refrigerate ribs for at least 2 hours or as long as overnight.

2. Preheat oven to 200°. Pour off excess marinade from pan and discard. Cook ribs in oven for 3 hours.

3. For sauce, mix together ketchup, butter, vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, mustard, and cayenne with 3/4 cup water in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens, about 15 minutes.

4. To finish ribs on a charcoal or gas grill, place on a rack over a low fire. Cook, turning once, until lightly browned and crusted. This could take 5 - 30 minutes per side, depending on hotness of fire, distance of ribs from heat, and type of grill. When ribs have browned, baste with sauce and cook, turning once, for 5 minutes more per side. Serve ribs with additional sauce on the side.
