The North Shore trio joined such downtown restaurants as f/ Giar- ’ dino di Umberto, Lorenzo and Cafe Milano di Massimo in receiv- ing the honor. The strong North Shore showing _ at the ORPI induction is especially impressive considering that the - entire city of Toronto has but six ORPI- recognized restaurants. There are only 15 restaurants across Canada considered worthy of ORPI membership. his week Wine Spots recommends EMILLON CHARDONNAY. .

CHIANTI RUFINA RISERVA NIPOZZANO, FRESCOBALDI. $12.95 (Italy). . Chianti used to come in a straw-wrapped bottle called a “fiasco” that you could stick a candle-stub in later to provide mood-lighting for after-dinner ac- tivities that might demonstrate the other meaning of “fiasco” if you'd had too much chianti. Alas, much chianti is now tarted up with ‘‘classico’’ name tags and $20: price tags attempt- ing to capitalize on the shift to Italian bargains when French wine prices went ballistic. This one still qualifies as a . bargain; a full, rich Sangiovese, purplish and potent, true to its rustic origins without succumb- ing to them, like a prosperous farmer in an Armani tuxedo. ‘Will stand up to the spiciest clam sauce you can devise and bulldog a garlic-riddled roast like it was so much hamburger-on- the-hoof. (For $128.75, you can buy five litres of the ‘79, fill the bathtub with fresh pasta, tomato sauce and leftovers and throw a feast for the neighborhood.)
