Spanish red is a delight


A COUPLE of new discoveries we have recently taken delivery of are two full-bod­ ied red wines from opposite


sides of Spain. The f irs t is from


Toro th e w e s te rn


most of the "denominacio d'origens, tucked up against the Portuguese bor­


der on the river Douro. The 1997 VEGA SAUCO CRIANZA


a t Cl.99 from a family run bodega in Morales de Toro with 25 hectares of their own vines, plus some fruit from contracted growers, is made from Tempranillo, known locally as Tinto de Toro. Some of the vineyards in the DO are


around 100 years old and, owing to the region being neglected for most of the cen­ tury, a great many are over 50-years-old, leading to wines like this one with great colour, s t ru c tu re and d ep th of f ru it enhanced with a year in oak casks. My second recommendation comes from the other side of Spain, close to


Barcelona. P iorato is one of C a ta lo n ia 's most


ancient wine-making regions. It has a spectacular mountain terrain and individual styles of wine make it


unique in Spain. The 1999 ONIX at £5.99, is produced


by the VINICOLA DEL PRIORAT - a central facility established in 1991 to cen­ tralise the efforts of the individual village co-operatives in Priorat. The blend of Onix reflects a selection of


fruit from some of the older Garnacha vineyards, many between 80 to 100-years- old. These low-producing old vines pro­ duce this wine which has big, rich concen­ trated fruit flavours. Both wines are ideal with rich stews or


grilled meats. O Andrew Byrne is a partner in Byrne’s


Wine Merchants, King Street, Clitheroe. H—i tv i DISH OF THE WEEK .M OU S SA K A ..


w ith Angela Magoylas, of Blue Sea Restaurant, Lourdata, Kefalonia


LOURDATA, is a picturesque village in the south of Kefalonia, surrounded by olive trees, aged plane trees, lemon and orange


groves. The village is named after the British


lords, who, during the British occupancy in the 19th Century, built their country hous­


es on the hillside. The mild climate and the ample moun­


tain water are favourable to agriculture and Lourdata has always been, and still is, the main vegetable producer for Kefalonia, growing many kinds of fruits and vegeta­


bles. The open air Blue Sea Restaurant and


Fish Tavema is situated in the most idyllic place, overlooking the turquoise and blue Ionian Sea. Tables and chairs placed on a vine covered patio, have a backdrop of the brightest pink bougainvillaea. The tavema, where we often had lunch, is just a short ,-alk away, along the beach, from our holi­


day apartment, also owned by Angela and her husband, Dennis..

A tiny taste of in the middle


coffee and mints, while the a la car menu offers a wide selection of las'


treats. Starters, which include seafo<


salad and large king prawns Valentino's special garlic sauce, ran


from £2.40 to £5.70. Main courses, where the traditio


A LITTLE tas te of Italy can be found in Burnley, courtesy of Valenti­


nos. From the fresh olives and basket of


home-made bread that was brought to our table, to the live Italian music and choice of tiramisu as one of many tempting desserts on offer, our Wednesday night out at the Bethes- da Street eatery had all the ingredi­ ents necessary for an enjoyable Euro-


pean-style evening. While we made our choices from


the various menus - the Italian night special at £9.95 per head for four courses, the specials board with a variety of fish dishes and the restau­ rant's substantial main menu - we munched our way through a garlic bread cooked to our liking with half cheese and half tomato. There was certainly plenty of food to choose


from. Wednesday night is Italian night


and the special menu offers a choice of four starters, four main courses, a dessert from the sweet cabinet, and


\TT t .


al pizza and pasta dishes can be fou: along with more expensive meat, fi and chicken dishes, cost betwe £4.40 and around £13. However, we decided to throw c<


tion to the wind and live in the lap luxury by both selecting dishes fre the range of specials. We both sta ed with tagliatelle and lobster sat ( £16.95 i which was simply deliciou not too much sauce to overpower t pasta, but enough fishy chunks make it a real treat for any seafo


fan. For the main course 1 chose Do


sole I £19.50), the most indulgent fish, which was expertly, and skilf ]y, filleted at the table and serv with a fresh-looking, and tastii salad with optional dressing. P companion had chosen the fre salmon served with a creamy cha pagne and prawn sauce (£11.9 which was accompanied by vege bles. Both were excellent, but if j do opt for the specials, be preparer pay that bit more. We finished our meal by sharin


. is s s w -


dish of oranges soaked in Grand Marnier and while I enjoyed the hist of the tasty dessert sauce my eating part­ ner quenched his thirst with a large espresso and a santbu- co. which came complete with coffee beans and blue flame. Q Valentino's is open at lunchtimes and in the evening,


and is currently taking party bookings for the coming fes- live season.

with MARCIA MORRIS 4. When the aubergines and potatoes are


fried put a layer of potatoes in the bottom of a large greased ovenproof dish and spread with some grated cheese. 5. Cover with a layer of aubergines then


the meat mixture, followed by another layer of cheese. Place another layer of aubergines on top. Thinly slice the toma­ toes and arrange on top, cover with grat­


ed cheese. 6. Cover the dish and place in the oven


and cook for approximately 45 minutes. 7. In the meantime, make a white sauce


with the milk, flour and butter, when it has thickened add two beaten eggs and a little cinnamon, salt and pepper. 8. Pour sauce over the meat mixture with


a li tt le more grated cheese on top and return to oven until i t is a rich golden


colour. My tip: I used a tin of tomatoes added to


the sauteed meat and cooked on top of the oven for 30 minutes, until thickened, then layered the potatoes, aubergines, meat and cheese in the same way as above. 1 poured over the white sauce, then cooked in the oven for about 40 minutes.

THIS is an exquisite double bill of theatri­


cal makebelieve. Sheridan's "The Critic" made me laugh


till the tears rolled down my face. Adam Godley as the central character,


Mr Puff, is wonderfully supported by a superb team of actors taking on a range of comic parts in the play within a play. Puff, the original PR/ad exec and spin


doctor gives a very clever account of all the different ways he has publicised his clients with tricks that OK and Hello! would envy.


l l l^ e e k e n d p l i is


A DOUBLE BILL OF THEATRE MIRTH


He has also had a successful career as beg­ ging letter writer and "benefit fraudster , but now he wants to be a playwright and invites two critics to witness the rehearsal of his tragedy - The Spanish Armada - and thus we get his interruptions and tne appalled comments of the critics as we watch this dreadfully bad, but hilariously funnv play. The Exchange designers have excelled themselves again and the costumes


were a treat. The first half play, "The Dispute by


Pierre Marivaux, is an intriguing comedy in which an aristocratic pair watch an experiment where three men and three women, brought up in isolation, meet for the first time, the purpose being to see it men and women are more liable to mfideli- tv! It reminded me a little of "Midsummer Night’s Dream" where the young lovers are tormented by the tricks of the fairies. The results are interesting, but you will have to


see for yourself!
