(a) g at the poles is greater than g at the equator because R at the poles is less than R at the equator. (b) rotational force at the Earth surface is at right angles to the axis of rotation and proportional to the distance from that axis. It is therefore zero at the poles and a maximum at the Equator.
The Montrachet vineyard is the jewel in the crown of Burgundy's white wines.It is one of five Grand Cru sites (climats) located in a cluster around the Mont-Rachet hill above Puligny-Montrachet.he precise spelling of the name is a topic of popular debate. Montrachet, Le Montrachet, Mon-Rachez, Mont-Rachaz and Mont-Rachet have all been used over the centuries. The modern INAO, the French government organization responsible for the appellation system, clearly marks the title as simply Montrachet.
Choosing the right wine to pair with crab. Linda Murphy, Chronicle Wine Editor. With its succulent, ocean-fresh sweetness, Dungeness crab pairs best with white wines that don't overwhelm the rich yet delicate flavor of the meat. Whether it's steamed, cracked and served gloriously unadorned, or prepared according to one of today's recipes, crab's pure, sweet flavor should be center stage, with the wine a supporting player. A buttery California Chardonnay would work with crab dipped in melted butter, but this style of wine usually has oak flavors that can overpower the seafood. If the crab is steamed and chilled, try it with the 2002 Pine Ridge California Chenin Blanc-Viognier ($14), an unusual blend that has the citrus, melon and slight honeyed character of the Chenin Blanc grape and the floral aromas and richness of Viognier.
