Tip:
Another common element in wine is acidity.
Acid gives wine its "zing" ~ the tartness
that enlivens the other flavors. Like
adding lemon to water - it doesn't change
the taste of the water much but it makes it
more refreshing. That's acidity.
Not enough and the wine is flat. Too
much can overwhelm. Just right, it
enhances flavor.

Syrah
Not one for sitting in your cellar, this
wine is meant for savoring now. A
dense wine with structure, syrah stands up
to bold flavors and is a great accompaniment
to a spicy meal.

As we head toward Thanksgiving, and the weather
chills, we find that this soup is a wonderful
warming trend.
Shrimp & Chorizo Soup
Prepare 2 pounds
medium shrimp, shelled & deveined. Simmer
the shells in 2 quarts chicken broth for 10
minutes, covered. Strain the broth &
discard the shells.
In a large cook pot,
cook 8 ounces dry chorizo, peeled & thinly
sliced, stirring occasionally till browned
(about 5 minutes). Transfer to a plate
using a slotted spoon. Add 1 diced large
sweet onion, 1 large carrot cut into
matchsticks, 1 minced garlic clove, & a teaspoon
of paprika to the pot. Cook till softened
(about 5 minutes). Add one drained 28 oz.
can diced tomatoes. Cook till the liquid
has evaporated. Return chorizo to the pot,
add shrimp broth & bring to a boil.
Stir 1 tablespoon
flour with 2 tablespoons water. Whisk it
into the soup & boil for 2 minutes. Season
with salt & pepper. Add the shrimp to the
soup. Cook till pink & curled (about 2
minutes).
Ladle the soup into
bowls and top with sliced avocado. Serve
with artisan breads & accompany with
Cañon de Sol Syrah.
ENJOY!
