THERE has been much written, in the trade and national press, about Aus tralian wine imports into this country overtaking the French. I am not sur prised, as having tried a lot of Australian wines at recent tast ings the quality is there and also value
for money.
1999 THIS MILL SHIRAZ at £5.49, from Windowrie Estate. In 1861, early settlers the Walsh brothers built the mill to provide flour for Cowra and the surrounding region ot New South Wales. Closed down in 1905, the oldest building in Cowra lay unoccupied for 91 years. This building has been beautifully restored and now represents The Mill wines from Cowra. The wine on the nose displays raspberry, pepper and spice, typical of shiraz, combined with a splash of minty cabernet and fine cedary French oak. The palate is full with sweet berry fruit, subtle oak and

An amazing experience
Two people were walking down a road in the Middle
East one Sunday evening almost two thousand years ago when they had an amazing experience that totally
changed their lives for ever. They met the risen Lord Jesus! For some time they had been followers of Jesus,
believing He offered a different hope. His teaching was different to anything they had ever heard before. He performed miracles and talked about a big King dom He seemed to have answers to life’s problems when no-one else had. Then suddenly He had been executed - He was dead and their hope had vanished. But death failed to stop Him. It could not hold Him
because He is bigger than death. On the third day after He died, He rose to a life from which he will never die. The two walking down the road that evening talked to Him and realised that His death had done more for them than seemed possible. It gave them the opportu nity of a completely new life in which they too could defeat death. They could also expect to find God s des tiny for them and one day see Him face to face. This Easter you can meet the risen Lord Jesus and
find the same results in your life, if you do not already know Him.
He died and rose again for you. He wants to meet „
you! Clitheroe Community Church

A tasty French experience
FROM the moment you open the door of Brown’s Bistro, Clitheroe, you feel you are
in for a delightful experience. The atmospheric bistro feel is very much

someone actually smiled as we entered. The staff, dressed in the black, Browns Bistro T-shirts, all gave a warm welcome and friendly smile. So, in tennis terms, the bistro is 30 love up straight away, with nice surroundings and a pleasant ambience, while waiting for the next experience. Another good "serve" by Browns Bistro is the delightful salad bowl presented as an appetiser, while we studied what was to come either from a printed table d hote menu or one of the mouthwatering dishes on the a la blackboard.
