Cabernet Sauvignon:

(cab er nay saw vee nyon)—This highly adaptable grape grows almost anywhere it is relatively warm, but the best wines come from the Burgundy region of France (where it is a noble variety), California, and Australia. It became famous through the red wines of the Médoc district of Bordeaux and is now grown in Washington, southern France, Italy, Australia, South Africa, Chile, and Argentina. Cabernet Sauvignon grapes make wines that are high in tannin and medium- to full-bodied. Usually identified as having black currant or cassis flavors, the grape can also possess vegetal tones when the grapes are less than ideally ripe. The best wines are rich and firm with great depth, and are often aged for fifteen years or more. Because it is highly tannic, Cabernet Sauvignon is often blended with other less-tannic grapes such as Merlot.

Mashed Potatoes With Parsnips

Rated

Ingredients

4 lb. potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-1/2-inch chunks
1 lb. parsnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 tbsp salt, plus salt for seasoning
1/2 - 3/4 cup milk, warmed
Freshly ground pepper
Chopped fresh parsley, optional

Preparation

Put the potatoes and parsnips into a large saucepan and add water to cover. Add the 1 tbsp salt, cover partially and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and boil gently until tender when pierced with a fork, 20 - 25 minutes. Drain well.

Mash the potatoes and parsnips together with a potato masher, or put them through a ricer, until free of all lumps. Then, while gradually adding the milk, beat with a wooden spoon until smooth and fluffy. Add only as much of the milk as needed to achieve the desired consistency.

Season to taste with salt and pepper. Beat over medium heat until very hot. Spoon into a warmed serving dish and garnish with parsley, if desired.

Yield

Serves 8 - 10
