Jury selects artists

TEN ARTISTS have been selected
to represent the North Shore,
Whistler, Squamish and Bowen
Island at the B.C. Festival of the
Arts, May 22-26 in North Van-
couver District.

The selections were made at the
North Shore Spring Jurving held
at Klee Wyck. The event is spon-
sored by the community arts
councils of North and West Van-
couver,

Shows made
great combo

to the grand waterfront locale of
the Vancouver Trade and Conven-
tion Centre; throw in some special
events celebrating the durable
marriage of wine and food;
sprinkle with a liberal number of

wine buffs; snobs and aficionados;

and channel the proceeds to a
worthy cultural cause.

Who could ask for more?

Well...

| might ask for more viticultural
accoutrements. Something a little
more to chew on than thin slices
of French bread and a worthy,
though pedestrian, pate.

Last year, for instance, there was
a lively herb butter that helped the
French bread rise to the occasion.

And J might aiso ask for a place
to sit down, a small alcove
wherein the weary oenophile
might momentarily doff wine fes-
tival slippers, rest tannic acid-pit-
ted tongue and ponder the com-
plexities of the various vintages
and varietals he has been so
carefully assessing.

But then | would be quibbling.

The Vancouver International
Wine Festival has been a brilliant
success from the start. It has in-
troduced all segments of Lower
Mainland society to a vast interna-
tional array of wines and wine
folk; it has established Vancouver
as one of Canada’s foremost wine
centres; and it has ensured area
restaurant customers of seeing
evermore informed and interesting
wine selections in their local res-
taurants.

1 ventured to this year's wine
festival in search of pinot noir. |
made the acquaintance of many,
perhaps too many, and struck up
conversations with some other
fascinating and surprising
members of the red wine family,
many of regal lineage, because as
one astute wine festival patron was
overheard to say: ‘‘! didn’t come
here to drink $10 bottles of wine.”

Indeed, my dear, nor did I:

*tron Herse 1987 Cabernets
($24.15): a wonderfully complex
blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and
Cabernet Franc grapes from this
elegant California winery.

*Signorello Vineyards 1988
Pinot Noir ($25): a lovely rich,
carefully made pinot noir, the best
of the night. Again from California.

*Schug 1983 Napa Valley
Pinot Noir ($23): Sounds like a
dance craze from the early ‘60s,
but this pinot noir had the kind of
depth and character that makes
friends easily.

*Don Maximiano Reserva
Cabernet 1986 ($10.95): Ex-
cellent value again from Chile,
land of first-class economy wines.

* Bodegas Palacio 1981 Gran
Reserva (320.95): Spanish style
and spirit.

At the adjacent Viva ‘91, where
ties and sports coats gave way to
open collars and open spaces,
there were more security forces
but fewer display stalls this year.

The result was more elbow
room, but less chaotic excitement.

Still, the breadth of both events
makes the Vancouver Playhouse
International Wine Festival and the
Viva food shaw an unbeatable
viticultural and culinary one-two
combination for the hungry
masses.
