RIOJA VEGA = 1993

(SPAIN) $9.95

We usually associate Spain’s most famous wine region with its world-class “reservas” that pack price-tags equal to their tannic wallop.

This is the everyday wine Riojans use to brush their teeth and wash down grilled meats and treats from the barbecue, a venerable tradition in Rioja. This is its liquid soul mate: fruity, but with a tannic cutting edge missing from Beaujolais or generic merlots people often swill around the grill.

Guaranteed to get your cas- tanets clacking and the reason- able price means no guilt about

LIBERTAS CHENIN BLANC 1993 (SOUTH AFRICA) $7.95

Much inexcusably bad wine is made from chenin

jassic’s mate

blanc, even on its home turf in the valley of the Loire.

fe may never make great wine, but it can make a very decent, lively lunch compan- ion when it’s done right.

There are few better things in jife than a young fresh Vouvray when you're facing | down a platter of oysters or a bowl of steamed mussels, but this South African version is hard to beat, especially when the Loire wines seem to be suf- fering delusions of grandeur.

- dt conveys that elusive sense of freshness you want in chenin blanc without tasting like it was strained through a sock into your carafe moments before.

THEATRE... What a wonderfully inspired choice North Vancouver

Community Players have made with their current production of

Timothy Findley's The Stillborn Lover. It is a subtle, yet movingiy powerful story of the tragedies inher-

ent in silence and deception.

The play is set against a cynical backdrop of Canadian and inter- national politics in 1972, yet fleetingly recalls earlier times of polit- ict idealism. An intensely personal story gradually unfolds against

a societal vision.

A Strong cast and good direction made for an engrossing evening of theatre. although the sub- ject matter visibly shocked some audience members the night I attended. ‘The Stillborn Lover runs to Saturday, April 20 at Hendry Hall and is an entry in the North Shore Zone Festival of Plays at Presentation House May 1.
