Cabernet Franc:

A specialty of the Loire Valley, this grape ripens earlier than Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and has more fruit and less tannin. It is often blended to make Bordeaux-style wines with place-names such as Chinon and Bourgeuil.


Loire Valley:

(lwahr)Stretching across northwestern France, this region’s rather cool climate, especially in the west, produces light-bodied white wines. In the eastern end of the Valley, just south of Paris, the Sauvignon Blanc grape is cultivated to make Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé wines. Both of these lively, dry white wines are grassy and spicy. Sancerre, the lighter and drier of the two, is perfect for summer drinking, especially with fish. Slightly fuller in body and less spicy, Pouilly-Fumé can have flinty, mineral flavors that pair well with chicken, veal, and richer fish. The town of Vouvray, in the central Loire Valley, is the best place in the world to grow the Chenin Blanc grape. The Loire Valley’s best red wines come from the Central Loire and are made mainly from Cabernet Franc. They are usually reasonably priced, medium-bodied wines that can be eaten with lighter meat and fish dishes. Right where the Loire River empties into the Atlantic Ocean is the Pays Nantais (pay ee nahn tay). The Muscadet grape, also known as the Melon, grows here, producing inexpensive wines that are light and very dry, with apple and mineral flavors that make them the perfect companion to shellfish. Sometimes the label contains the term sur lie, which means that the wine was bottled straight from the fermentation tank. This technique gives the wines freshness and often a slight carbonation.

Corned Beef and Cabbage

Rated

Ingredients

2 yellow onion, peeled
6 whole cloves
3 ½ lbs corned beef, preferably bottom round
3 carrot, peeled and cut into thirds
2 bay leaf(s)
8 whole black peppercorn
1 medium head green cabbage
5 russet potatoes, peeled and halved
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
hot-sweet mustard, to taste (optional)

Preparation

Stud onions with cloves. Rinse corned beef in cold water to remove brine. Put beef in a large pot and add onions, carrots, bay leaves, peppercorns, and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 2 hours, skimming occasionally.

Wash cabbage, remove core and any torn leaves, then cut into 6 wedges. Add cabbage and potatoes to beef, then cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes.

Transfer beef to a cutting board and cover with a plate weighted with heavy cans (weighting makes meat easier to slice).

Transfer onions, carrots, cabbage, and potatoes to a platter. Remove cloves from onions. Strain cooking liquid, discarding bay leaves and peppercorns. Return liquid to pot and cook over high heat until reduced by one-third, 20 - 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper

Return vegetables to stock and heat through for about 5 minutes. Remove plate and cans from meat and cut across the grain, in 1/4"-thick slices. Arrange beef and vegetables on warmed platter. Moisten with stock. Serve with additional stock and hot mustard if you like.
