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.


Hawkes Bay:

Hawke's Bay is situated on the east coast of the North Island and is one of New Zealand's oldest and finest wine regions. Between 1858 and 1876, Hawke's Bay formed the Hawke's Bay Province as a Province of New Zealand, after being separated from the Wellington Province. The Hawke's Bay wine region includes the hilly coastal land around the central bay, the floodplains in the north, the wide fertile Heretaunga Plains in the south, and a hilly interior stretching up into the Kaweka and Ruahine Ranges. Hawke's Bay has long, hot summers and cool winters. The climate is dry and temperate. The conditions in the hills favor Chardonnay which is the most important vine variety with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot also widely planted.

Asian Sesame Chicken Salad

Rated

Ingredients

1/3 cup peanut oil
2/3 cup sesame seeds
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast
Salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 small head napa cabbage
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
1 lime
1 8oz. can sliced water chestnuts
6 scallions
1 medium red bell pepper
10 sprigs cilantro

Preparation

1 Put the peanut oil in a heavy skillet large enough to hold all the chicken in one layer without crowding. Put the skillet over medium-low heat. Spread the sesame seeds on a pie plate or wax paper. (If the butcher hasn't done so, lb the breasts between two sheets of aluminum foil or wax paper with the side of a cleaver or a meat pounder.) Season the breasts with salt and pepper and press into the sesame seeds to coat both sides evenly. Put in the skillet, raise the heat to medium-high, and cook for 5 minutes on each side, gently turning the breasts with a spatula, until the meat is firm and no pink shows in the middle. (Cut into one to check if you're not sure.) Reduce the heat if needed to prevent burning.

2 Meanwhile, trim the bottom 1/2 inch from the cabbage and remove any damaged or withered parts from the tops of the leaves. Cut crosswise into strips no more than 1/2 inch wide. Put into a salad spinner, fill with water, drain, and spin the greens dry. Remove any excess moisture with paper towels.

3 Peel and halve the ginger. Drop down the chute of a food processor with the motor running and purée. Stop the motor and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the fish sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil. Juice the lime and add the juice to the ginger mixture. Process until the dressing is combined. Add salt to taste. 4 Open the can of water chestnuts and drain. Trim the scallions and cut the white and green parts crosswise into thin slices. Cut the top from the bell pepper. Stand it upright and cut down inside the four walls, separating them from the center core and seeds. Then cut the walls into thin strips. Coarsely chop the leaves from the cilantro sprigs.

5 Put the cabbage in a large mixing bowl. Add the water chestnuts, scallions, bell pepper, cilantro, and dressing. Toss well. Cut the cooked chicken into strips no more than 1/2 inch wide. Add to the salad and toss.
