Bauernschmaus (Farmers’ Feast) of
roast pork, smoked pork and
sausage. Also on the plate: the
great Austria duo of sauerkraut —-
expertly prepared by Wieser with
fermented white cabbage and car-
away seeds — and dumplings —
made with bread, onions, milk,
eggs and parsley. Delicious and
substantial. Guaranteed to subdue
any hunger.

Desserts, an Austrian past-time,
included the grand Salzburg-style
Soufflé (for four or more, $8.50 per
person), Curd and Raisins Strudel
($6.50) and Emperor's Nonsense
with plum sauce ($8).

With nary a broccoli spear or
alfalfa sprout in sight, this, admit-
tedly, is not the cuisine of summer
in the low-fat, high-fibre 1990s.
Austrian fare emphasizes large
plates laden with fine meats and

‘-tib-sticking dumplings.

As presented by La Toque
Blanche, however, its enduring
qualities of substance and style are
brought to the fore for all to enjoy.
A Wieserian labor of love, a cele-
bration of hearty central European
gastronomy, presented by one of
the North Shore's finest chefs.

; La Toque, of course, continues
- to offer its regular menu (entrees
$15 to $22, including Broiled Filet
*, of Salmon, Breast of Duck
. Calvados, Boneless Lamb Loin,
Veal Medallions and Tournedos of
Beef Tenderloin). All of which
come highly recommended.

As does the whole La Toque
“experience, with its personable and

* professional service, fine wine list,
“. intimate atmosphere and off-beat

oy location.

. After eight years in the western
‘wilds of West Vancouver, La Toque
-“ Blanche continues to set the stan-
. dard for fine restaurants on the
North Shore.

le’ grape rates high

grapes, is prized in Alsace for the
lively straightforward (reshness and
simplicity that makes it the perfect
companion for the region's eclectic
cuisine which is a mix of French and
German with the whole adding up to
more than the parts.

B.C. winemakers have had par-
ticularly good luck with this forgiv-
ing grape, but nobody gets more out
of it than the meticulous award-win-
ning Hainle family,

Most pinot blanc is one-dimen-
sional, but this has some texture —
firm and a bit buttery in the mouth
and golden rather than pale in the
glass.

$8.15 (Spain)

The weirdest Spanish name I've
ever encountered and I've yet to
trace it or figure out how to pro-
nounce it. Never mind; the wine is
fine.

Typical of the new approach in
Spanish wine-making, transforming
casually made rustic wines locals
used to wash socks in into intema-
tional balance-of-trade assets.

Pure Tempranillo, with rich
cedar and blackcurrant accents, dis-
cernably firmed up by a couple of
years napping in oak. At six years it
is probably in its prime, though it
could stand up to a few years of
careful storage.
