Wine note: Fresh summer vegetables come together in Orecchiette with Roasted Peppers, Arugula, and Tomatoes, making it a good candidate for a dry ros wine. With berry and Bing cherry flavors and bright acidity, Bonterra Ros 2008 ($14), from California, is a great example of how ros complements the acid and fruitiness of tomatoes. This wine also has a slightly herbal edge, reminiscent of the dish's herbes de Provence. --Jeffery Lindenmuth
