‘Poor man’s Bristol Cream’ is a bargain

FROM PAGE C1

Corban’s Cabernet
Pinotage (made from the
Cabernet Sauvignon and
Pinotage grapes) is only
available in the specialty
stores in B.C., for $5.70. I

don’t know if it was the
bottle, but the wine I tasted
had a slightly off aroma — it
almost smelled and tasted
like oysters. Besides this
distinctly unpleasant taste,
the wine had no character
whatsoever to speak of.

All three wines are or-

dinary at best, and better
wines can be had for cheaper
prices.

But the Chenin Blanc, if it
does become available in
B.C., will definitely be a
good buy. Don Maisey of
Corbans says the wine

should sell for about $5.90,
and certainly no more than
$6. It tastes crisp and dry,
but with a definite touch of
fruit. All in all, a perfect
wine for a hot summer day.

Though New Zealand
wines are not yet well known

here, Corbans has 22 to 24
per cent of the imported
sherry market with its Select
Medium Sherry, which
Maisey called “the poor
man’s Bristol Cream.”

For the price ($5.65 for
750 ml, $7.30 for 1 litre) it

certainly compares
favorably with Bristol
Cream, which will set you
back $6.35 for 375 ml. It is
nothing to shout about, and
can't stand up to the more
expensive Spanish sherries,
but the taste is pleasant and
the price is right.
