**// Chapter One //** **Pinot noir** 2 (FAA)  ( pee -noh   nwahr **) [|pronunciation] **

**Noun ** 1. any of several varieties of purple or white vinifera grapes yielding a red or white wine, used esp. in making burgundies and champagnes.

2. a red (Pinot Noir) or white (Pinot Blanc) wine made from this grape.

Published Sample Sentence: I live within bicycling distance of the Willamette Valley and I can hardly afford even modest **pinot noir** wines from that area. Original Sentence: Curiously, the girl's perfect feautures engender thoughts of succulent, sugar-laden bunches of pinot noir and grenache with translucent purple skin. 

Memory Tip: This word’s origin is French and the French are very famous drinking fine wine.

Noun 1. <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">a variety of grape used in winemaking, esp. for table wines in the Rhône Valley of France and for a type of rosé in California.

Published Sentence: The **grenache** might have matched well with the caramelized salsify, smoked collards and even the coconut basmati. Original Sentence: <span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Curiously, the girl's perfect feautures engender thoughts of succulent, sugar-laden bunches of pinot noir and grenache with translucent purple skin.



Memory Tip: This word sounds similar to ganache(frosting/filling used to make desserts). These two words are both foods that are sweet. **Mordant** 2(FAA) <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">( <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">mawr-dnt) [|pronunciation] <span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">//–adjective// **<span style="color: #7b7b7b; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">// 1. // **<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">sharply caustic or sarcastic, as wit or a speaker; biting. <span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 31.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">2. burning; corrosive. <span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 31.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">3. having the property of fixing colors, as in dyeing. //<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">–noun // <span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 31.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">4. a substance used in dyeing to fix the coloring matter, esp. a metallic compound, as an oxide or hydroxide, that combines with the organic dye and forms an insoluble colored compound or lake in the fiber.

Published Sentence: The play's mordant comedy makes for compelling viewing. Original Sentence: As it slowly sinks behind the mountains, the sun sprays light so warmly colored and so mordant that, where touched, the darkening lands appears to be wet with it and dyed forever.



Memory Tip: Mordant sounds similar to mortar and pestle. A mortar and pestle is used to grind something into a fine powder. A mordant is also a substance that is a fine powder used as a dye.

Memory Tip: If you literally translate this into French, it means already seen which is extremely close to the definition of déjà vu.
