Navarra:

Once known for easy-drinking dry rose wines, today this region just northeast of Rioja is becoming known for red wines that are similar to but less expensive than Rioja’s. Navarra currently is going through a modernization program, which includes not only adding new equipment and implementing modern winemaking techniques but also experimenting with different varieties such as cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay.

McLaren Vale:

A historic region on the outskirts of Adelaide with a mild climate influenced by the sea. It is particularly admired for its Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling, and Sémillon. Grenache and Shiraz are its best reds.


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.


Shiraz:

Australian name for the grape known as Syrah in France.

Grilled Portobello Mushrooms

Rated

Ingredients

4 to 6 medium-sized portobello mushrooms, each about 4 inches across
Salt
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
4 to 6 tbsp olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
Fresh herbs of your choice (optional)

Preparation

Preheat the broiler.

Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel that has been dipped in salt. Remove the stems and reserve for another use.

Put the garlic, olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste in a plastic bag. Add the mushrooms, seal, turn to distribute the seasonings, and allow to marinate for 1 hour.

Place the mushrooms, top side up, on a broiler pan and grill 4 minutes. Turn the mushrooms and cook 4 minutes more. The mushrooms should be well cooked on the outside but creamy and tender on the inside. Sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired.
