The center of the Western Hemisphere is located in the Pacific Ocean at the intersection of the 90th meridian west and the equator very close to the GalÃ¡pagos. The highest mountain in the Western Hemisphere is Aconcagua in the Andes of Argentina at 6,960.8 metres (22,837 ft).
New Orleans is famous for a lot of different meals â chief among them is the traditional rice dish known as Jambalaya. While various ingredients in Jambalaya can vary from chicken, sausage, seafood, or any mixture of the three, the bold flavor and perfect spice is always present.
Wine for Jambalaya. Instead of our usual July 4th BBQ, I'm making Jambalaya with shrimp and sausage, along with a side dish of black beans and some corn bread. I'm thinking of going with a white wine, such as a Riesling Spatlese, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, or Viognier.
