Instructions
In a saucepan, cook rhubarb, 1/2 cup water and sugar until a sauce forms, about 8 minutes.

Pour into a lightly greased 4- to 5-1/2-cup mold. Cover and chill until set.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Gruener Veltliner
Salad works really well with Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gruener Veltliner. Sauvignon Blanc and Gruner Veltliner both have herby notes that complement salads with enough acid to match tart vinaigrettes, while a Chardonnay can be a good pick for creamy salad dressings. One wine you could try is Taittinger Brut La Francaise. It has 4.3 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 45 dollars.
Taittinger Brut La Francaise
This Champagne is a blend of some 30 Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vineyards, respectively 40% and 60% of the total, from several harvests of perfectly ripened grapes.
