Vouvray:

Vouvray is a cool climate region with limestone and chalk soil located on the north shore of the Loire River. Wine production in Vouvray has been recorded as early as the fifth century when Saint Martin of Tours introduced the Chenin Blanc grape to the region. By Law a Vouvray wine must be made of 100 percent Chenin Blanc and can be found ranging from sec (dry) to fully sweet (Moelleux) or sparkling. A typical Vouvray exhibits quince, honey, or almond flavors.

Mosel-Saar-Ruwer:

(MOH zel zar ROO ver)—This dramatically beautiful region of western Germany produces exceptional white wines from the Riesling grape. Among the lightest in Germany, these wines usually contain less than 10% alcohol and they are generally delicate, fresh, and bursting with flavor. With its flowery tastes and aromas, Mosel Riesling is a great wine to drink in the spring. Look for the words “Erzeugerabfüllung” or Gutsabfüllung,” which indicate that the wine was estate bottled and not mass-produced.


Riesling:

(REESE ling)—a grape that comes mostly from the Mosel and Rheingau regions of Germany (where it is a noble variety), the Finger Lakes region of New York, and Alsace region of France, and Austria. Although often thought of as “sweet,” many Rieslings are quite dry. The word trocken on German bottles indicates dryness. The trademarks of Riesling are high acidity, low to medium alcohol levels, and aromas and flavors that range from fruity and flowery to mineral. Also called Johannesburg Riesling or White Riesling.

Ingredients

2/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 scallions, sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
Pepper to taste
2 tsp brown sugar
1-1/2 lbs lean beef, cut into bite-size pieces
2 tbsp sesame oil
4 cups chopped broccoli

Preparation

1. In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, scallions, onion, pepper, and brown sugar. Add the beef and marinate for 10 minutes.

2. In a large wok or skillet over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the beef, and sauté until the meat is cooked to your liking, stirring occasionally. Remove the cooked beef from the pan and reserve. Add the broccoli and saute until tender. Add water if you need additional moisture. Add reserved beef to pan and toss to warm and coat the broccoli. Serve with a side brown or white rice.
