FORMER WEST Vancouver gallery owner Catriona Jeffries is
celebrating the opening of her gallery in its new location at
1069 Cambie St. tomorrow night.

The move from downtown Vancouver, says Jeffries, is
symbolic of the growth of the Catriona Jeffries Gallery itself.
The current show, which reflects the vibrant ideas and tech-
niques evolving in the modern age, includes the work of
eight artists: Brent Boechler, Pamela Chapman, Greg Ed-
monson, Lorne Greenberg, Monique Mees, Keith Mitchell,

Rich Nielsen and Martin Whist.

SANTA CAROLINA CHAR-
DONDNAAY. 1989. ($7.35)
(CHILE).

A NEWISH product (to me at
least), but clearly a winner,

Not only is the price straight
from Bargain City, it went over so
big at the barbecue on the
weekend | was lucky lo get a
maouthtul from someone else’s
glass while they were all murmur-
ing, “Mmmmm...,"” “Abhbh...””
and “Very nice.’

My tasting notes, written ina
matchbook ! promptly lost (1 think
it was used to fire the coals}, con-
sisted mostly of exclamation
marks. Nicely rounded fruit, crisp
without being tart, uncomplicated
by unnecessary ‘‘caking.”’

Somebody, peel me a prawn
and bring me a full glass of this.
RODNEY STRONG CABERNET
SAUVIGNON. SONOMA
COUNTY. 1988. ($14.95)
(U.S.A,). .

Low-end California cabernets
tend to taste like ‘‘test tube”

wine, a bit clinical, ‘dab-Cab,”"
possessing all the textbook charac-
teristics, but no ‘‘soul.”’

Unfortunately, the upscale ones
that have personalities as distinct
as their French counterparts have
prices to match.

This is a more than happy me-
dium. A truly elegant wine, with
blackberry/cassis overtones and a
silky seductive structure that just
keeps keeping on.

A bit pricey, perhaps, bul
decidedly a wine to invent special
occasions for.
