2006 Monte Antico Toscana
 You may have seen this wine on the cover of Wine Spectator Magazine recently. This 85 percent Sangiovese, 10 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and 5 percent Merlot blend was listed as one of the great values coming out of Italy. This is a true Old World meets New World wine. Great acidity and minerality of the Old World combined with the fruit forwardness of the New World.

Health Notes with Dr. Liz
Six Foods for Fall
The air is crisp and the days are shorter — it’s official, fall has arrived! This means there’s a new array of health-boosting foods in the produce department. Check out these six must-eat fall foods for better health:
- Butternut squash: A powerhouse of nutrients, a serving of this squash has over 100 percent of the Daily Value of vitamin A (as carotene) and more potassium than a banana. Microwave, bake or grill 2 ”x2” cubes or “smash” like potatoes for a comforting side dish.
- Brussels sprouts: A cousin of cabbage, Brussels sprouts supply potent cancer-fighting compounds called indoles. Steam, braise or microwave them with your favorite herbs.
- Persimmon: These beautiful fruits supply more than 50 percent of the Daily Value for vitamin C, as well as a series of disease-fighting antioxidants such as catechins (similar to what is in green tea). Eat the Fuyu variety like an apple, or slice it for a colorful addition to salads. The Hachiya variety ripens to a soft texture, making it an excellent base for muffins and breads.
- Walnuts: With the local harvest complete, you can enjoy a new crop of these heart-healthy nuts. Walnuts supply two essential fats: omega-6 and omega-3. Studies show eating walnuts may help lower your cholesterol and heart disease risk. Eat them toasted in salads, or as a topping for cereal or yogurt.
- Wild Rice: Grown just north of here, wild rice is actually a grass seed rather than a true rice. Wild rice is rich in folate, a B vitamin needed for healthy red blood cells. This vitamin is also essential for pregnant women and can even help fend off cancer. Use it as a side dish or stuffing in poultry.
