Washington:

Most of the wineries in this state are located east of the Cascade Range, where the climate is desert-like, with hot days and cool nights. The irrigated vineyards produce high yield, but the flavor is nevertheless very good. Traditionally Rieslings have been the most successful here, but currently Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc are doing well. Chardonnay is successfully fermented in new oak barrels, yielding distinctively crisp and delicate flavors, like fresh apples. Washington Merlot, with its cherry flavors and aroma, tends to be more full-bodied, moderately tannic and slightly higher in alcohol than its Bordeaux cousins and higher in acidity than those from California. Acreage for the Syrah grape has increased substantially in the past few years, and in Washington it turns into big, dark, intensely concentrated wines with aromas and flavors of blackberries, black currants, roasted coffee and leather. A little-known German grape, Lemberger, does very well here. It produces a fruity but dry red wine in the Beaujolais or Dolcetto style.


Moscato Bianco:

(A.K.A. Muscat, Moscato di Canelli) Moscato Bianco is one of the oldest white varietals in all of Italy. Bright, fragrant, and un-faded with a lingering finish, this white has stood the test of time.

Crumb-Topped Coffee Cake

Rated

Ingredients

2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp freshly grated nutmeg
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground cloves
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly or canola or other high-quality vegetable oil
2 tsp baking powder
1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
2 eggs, at room temperature, lightly beaten
1 cup chopped walnuts or other nuts
2 tbsp granulated sugar mixed with 2 tsp ground cinnamon for sprinkling

Preparation

Position racks so that the cake will bake in the middle of an oven and preheat the oven to 350° F. Grease a 9-inch square pan; do not line or flour it. Set aside.

Place the flour, brown and granulated sugars, nutmeg, salt, and cloves together in a strainer or sifter and sift into a large bowl. Whisk to mix well. Using a spoon, form a well in the middle of the dry ingredients, then pour in the butter or oil and stir, breaking up clumps, until the mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs. Remove 3/4 cup of the mixture to a small bowl and reserve for later use.

Stir the baking powder into the mixture in the large bowl. Add the buttermilk and eggs and beat with an electric mixer at medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute.

Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a rubber spatula. Evenly distribute the reserved crumb mixture over the top, then scatter the nuts over it and sprinkle with the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Bake until the cake springs back when lightly touched in the center with your fingertip and a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes; if the top begins to brown too quickly during baking, cover loosely with aluminum foil.

Remove the pan to a wire rack to cool for at least 15 minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature directly from the pan.
