      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.

      Australian name for the grape known as Syrah in France.

      Nebbiolo:

      This noble variety from Italy is used primarily in Barolo and Barbaresco, two Piedmontese wines. It is a powerful, lusty grape, high in both tannin and acidity but balanced by an ample alcoholic content. Its color can be deep when the wine is young, but orangey tinges can develop within a few years. Its complex aroma is fruity, earthy, woodsy, herbal and floral.


      Langhe:

      Langhe is a hilly region located along the river Tanaro. Famous for its Barolo the Langhe is shaped like a peninsula and includes all of the winegrowing municipalities of the province of Cuneo.

      Stuffed Peppers

      Rated

      Ingredients

      8 whole green pepper, cored and seeded
      1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
      1 yellow onion, pepped and diced
      1 garlic clove, peeled and minced
      1/4 lb. ground beef
      1/4 lb. ground pork
      1 teaspoon salt
      1 teaspoon black pepper
      1 Tomatoes, seeded and chopped
      1-1/4 cups cooked long-grain white rice
      1 tbsp chopped fresh marjoram leaves
      1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaf, chopped
      1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
      1/4 cup fresh bread crumbs
      1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

      Preparation

      Char peppers over a gas flame or under a hot broiler, turning to blacken all over. Place in a paper bag, close tightly, and steam for 15 minutes. When cool enough to handle, rub off and remove blackened skin, taking care not to tear flesh. Cut a slit down the length of each, stopping about 1/2" from the tip. (If using bell peppers, simply cut off the top.) Scrape out ribs and seeds. Set aside.

      Heat 2 tbsp. oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and cook until soft and golden, about 20 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high, add beef and pork, breaking meat up with the back of a spoon, and brown for 7 - 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, season to taste with salt and pepper, and stir in tomatoes and nutmeg. Cook for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and stir in rice, marjoram, thyme, parsley, and 1 tbsp. oil. Adjust seasoning.

      Preheat broiler. Spoon about 1/4 cup filling into each pepper and place on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle with bread crumbs, drizzle with remaining oil, and broil until golden. Serve hot or at room temperature.
