...three wonderfully unusual varietals that show promise?French Wild, Rose Honey and Crystal Dry. Old records show that missionaries originally brought these vines to China's Yunnan province from France some 200 years ago (an origin confirmed by DNA testing)?and it's believed that they may be extinct in the home country itself. So far, Chinese winemakers have obtained best results with French Wild (try it with salty hams, like Parma ham or pancetta), which can be acquired for less than $35 a bottle.

...behind by vanished oceans or seas. The radar will also allow MRO to search the planet as a whole for minerals that form in the presence of water, and to determine where and how deeply subsurface ice may lie. Where there's ice and water, evidence of life - either extinct or ongoing - could also be found. While rovers like Spirit and Opportunity offer a thorough going-over of a few isolated regions, only a clear-eyed orbiter can provide a close look at the entire planet...
