• Serve white cold, red at room temperature?

This is more true for a seventeenth-century castle in England or France than for a cottage in Canada. Try taking the white out of and putting the red into, the fridge for a few minutes before serving.

• Will any container do?

Not true: a good wine glass-whether a plastic patio glass or crystal-is at least the size of an orange and has a stem. A good size lets the wine swirl, so you can smell it-smell is critical to taste. The stem lets you hold it without warming the wine to skin temperature.

• Fill it to the rim?

This myth also comes from the doesn’t matter camp. Resist filling the glass (the one with a stem, that is) more than one-third to one-half full.

• Wine needs to age?

If you bring your wine into the cottage with the other stuff, let it age for about ten minutes, open and enjoy, don’t feel guilty. Most wine is made for early consumption, so go ahead and open it.

• White wine with white meat, red wine with red?

The more full flavored the meal, the more full flavored the wine should be.. but if you enjoy Riesling with your steak, go ahead. Experiment. Remember that the meal is more than just the color of the meat: it is everything on the table, from the main course to the sauces and the condiments.

• You should enjoy this-I paid a lot.

Or, You should enjoy this-I made it. There are so many wine styles, and such a range of quality and price, that this is something for every taste. So let you taste buds tell you which one you really like.

One-Hour- Hot Soak: to one pound of California dry beans, any variety, add 6 to 8 cups hot water. Heat to boiling, boil 2 minutes, then set aside for an hour or so before draining and cooking.

(This method does in one hour what 15 hours of cold soaking accomplishes.)

Overnight Salt Soak: to one pound of California dry beans, add 6 cups cold water and 2 teaspoons salt. Let stand overnight or for several hours.

(The salt helps beans to absorb water more evenly, and keep their shape better.)
