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.

Rated

Ingredients

20 oz frozen chopped spinach
1 ¼ lb Shrimp, peeled and deveined, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup chopped Canadian bacon
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground Black pepper, freshly ground
1/4 tsp salt (optional)
4 whole Garlic clove, peeled and thinly sliced
¼ teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper

Preparation

Cook the spinach according to package directions. Drain well, season with the garlic powder, black pepper, and salt, if desired, and cover to keep warm.

While the spinach is cooking, coat a 12-inch nonstick skillet or wok with cooking spray, and preheat over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, and cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes, or just until the garlic begins to turn golden. Do not allow it to turn brown.

Add the shrimp and Canadian bacon, and cook, tossing or stirring often, for 2 to 4 minutes, or just until the shrimp turn pink. Do not overcook the shrimp. Stir in the Tabasco sauce and crushed red pepper.

Arrange the spinach over a serving platter. Spoon the shrimp mixture over the spinach, and serve immediately.
