prominent since its expansion in
January. The cafe, run by owner

lasagna and quiche. A variety of
salads, including a chicken
artichoke pasta creation, spinach
fettucine, fruit salad and marinated

vegetable plate, range in price from
$2.40 to $3.95.

Jerry's is open from 8 a.m. to 9
p.m. daily.

WINE NOT?

Make your gourmet take-out feast
truly decadent with the selection
of the perfect complementary wine.
David Hopgood of the specialiry
B.C. liquor store ar 39th and
Cambie recommends the following
labels to add to your dining
experience.

To go with quiche, a dry white
with some body is a must. Two he
recommends are the Alsatian Pinot
Blanc and, from the USS.,

STERLING VINEYARDS.

Sauvignon Blanc. If your quiche is

somewhat spicy — a real man's
quiche — then the latter option is
preferable.

“It’s a little bit herbaceous,”
Hopgood says of the Sauvignon. “Ir
has a green character.”

Down-home diners indulging in
a shepherd’s pie repast require a
“sturdy red.’ Hopgood suggests
Zinfandel from the States, or the

Different pastas require different
wines, of course, bur regardless of
the recipe “It’s nice to stay fralian”
Consider the following selections
if pasta is on the menu tonight.

Serving pasta with a seafood
sauce? Try Verdicchio or Pomino,
Chianti is a winner with a meaty
pasta dish, and if the sauce is
tomato-based, Barbera is a good
choice.

A cream sauce, on the other
hand, calls for a white such as
Orvieto or an Italian Chardonnay.

Chianti is also a possibility with
moussaka, unless you're determined
to maintain the ethnic theme, in
which case a sturdy Greek red
would fie the bill.

When it comes to lobster,
tradition and palate require that
you spring for “the best white
Burgundy you can afford,” says
Hopgood. His number one choice
is the “beautiful” Meursault, which
ranges from $30 to $50 a bottle.

Also quite acceptable, he says, is
a top-quality California or
Australia Chardonnay, a good bot-
tle of which will set you back about
$20.

Cheers!
