Sauvignon Blanc:

Comes mostly from California, France, New Zealand, and South Africa. Its highly acidic wines are often suggestive of herbs or grass. Light to medium bodied and usually dry, European versions are generally not oaky while California Sauvignon Blanc can take on many of the qualities of Chardonnay. France has two classic wine regions for the Sauvignon Blanc gape: Bordeaux and the Loire Valley The Bordeaux wine is called Bordeaux Blanc and the two best known of the Loire wines are called Sancerre or Pouilly-Fumé. In Bordeaux, Sauvignon Blanc is sometimes blended with Sémillon.


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.

Cucumber and Red Onion Salad

Rated

Ingredients

2 cucumbers, peeled and very thinly sliced
Salt
1 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 red onion, cut in half and thinly sliced
chopped fresh dill

Preparation

1. In a colander, place the cucumber slices one layer at a time, lightly salting each layer. Put a plate weighted with a heavy object on top of the slices, then place the colander over a bowl to catch the water that drains from the cucumbers. Refrigerate.

2. In a saucepan, heat the vinegar, sugar, and red onion over low heat until the sugar dissolves--this shouldn't take more than 2 or 3 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl, cool, and refrigerate.

3. Remove the cucumbers from the refrigerator, and rinse them under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels and add to the onion mixture. Refrigerate, covered, for at least 3 more hours.

4. Drain the cucumbers and onions, reserving 5 tablespoons of the liquid. Toss the cucumbers with the reserved liquid and garnish with the chopped fresh dill.
