tact the rnley,


by M A N Y a fine word has


| been written by wine crit­ ics worldwide about the company Casa Girelli and their amazing quali­ ty wines from V i l la Cafaggio's in Tuscany.. The story behind Villa


Cafaggio is a long one. The origins of the


estate date back hun­ dreds of years to the Lombard era, when the property was named "C afaggio ", meaning "enclosed, cultivated


field'1 . ; Hundreds of years


later, in the 14th century, vines still fluorished on the property under the ownership of Benedictine monks from Siena. Located in the com­


mune of Greve, the privi­ leged Tuscan estate, cov-


I ering 63 hectares of only south-facing vineyards in


1 the heart of the Chianti Classico region, produces


I some of . the highest-rated "Super Tuscans" Chianti Classico and Riserva


wines found today. The 1997 was stun-


, ning, the 1998 excellent, but having just shipped


1 in the 1999, I think it's the best I've tried. Villa Cafaggio Chianti ClassicoiD.O.C.G. (£6.99)


I is a single vinyard wine made from 100 per cent Sangiovese. The wine has rich cherry and plum


| fruit flavours, nice fine tannin and some acidity, and; having been matured in oak, the wine finishes .with a nice spici- I ness and is perfect with


any Italian foods. It will also keep very


well and would reward you i f kept for two or three years.

STRAWBERRIES are syn­ onymous with the British


summer season. No self-respecting social-ite


would dare to be seen at Ascot or Wimbledon without the essential punnet, dressed with cream and sugar or just with a glass of chilled cham­


pagne. The great British strawber­ -


ry has come under attack in recent years, with lack-lustre early summer weather blamed for bland and watery fruit caused by artificial ripening in hothouses. Yet there is still much to be


said for the homegrown vari­ ety which is picked between


May and July. With the start of Wimble­


don on Monday, many of us are buying our first punnet to make into cakes, sauces, ice


cream and coulis or simply to serve with whipped cream. c But don't rush into pur­


hasing the first strawberries.


For the ultimate flavour it is always best to grow your own strawberries or buy them m season from a good local


■farm.


When buying a punnet make sure there is no water in

buying any fruit. I f some­ thing smells sweet it means it has had the chance to ripen. But if you find the straw­


berries are not quite ripe enough when you get them home, leave them in a fruit bowl containing bananas for a dayorso.


Bananas give off a chemi­ .

• 30ml redcurrant jelly • 150ml double cream,


whipped Creme Patissiere


• 300ml milk • 1 vanilla pod, split


• 3 egg yolks • 75g caster sugar • 30ml cornflour 0 15g butter' To decorate


Strawberry leaves Roll out the pastry to a 23


x 30cm (9in. x 12in.) rectan­ gle. Transfer to a dampened baking tray, prick the pastry all over with a fork and chill


for about 15 minutes. Bake at 220C/425F/Gas


Mark 7 for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown. Trim the edges of the rectangle, then cut widthways into three


equal strips. Turn the strips over, return


to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes. Cool on a


wire rack. To make the cream


patissiere, heat the milk with the vanilla pod in a heavy- based saucepan until almost boiling, then remove from the heat and leave to infuse for 30


minutes. Whisk together the egg 1


yolks and sugar until frothy, then whisk in the cornflour. Strain in the milk and


whisk again. Return this mix­ ture to the pan and cook over a low heat, stirring all the time, until boiling and thick-


ened. Remove from the heat and


beat in the butter. Cover the surface of the sauce with clingfilm and leave to cool. . Meanwhile, puree the rasp­


berries in a blender and place in a saucepan with the red-


currant jelly. Place over a low heat until


the jelly has melted. Leave


the raspberry mixture to cool, stirring occasionally, then stir in one third of the strawber­ ries. When • the creme patissiere is cold, fold in the whipped double cream. When ready to serve,


spread the creme, patissiere over two strips of the pastry and carefully arrange half of the plain strawberries on top


of each. Lay one strip over the


other, then top with the final layer of pastry and spoon on the fruit mixture to cover the pastry. Serve at once decorat­ ed with strawberry leaves.

“The Importance off Being Earnest", Library Theatre, Manchester.


THIS hysterically-funny produc-. tion of Wilde's famous comedy is a


must. I f you missed it at the Library, then . , . •


try to catch it at Blackpool in Novem­ ber later in the tour.


JO The stars are Maggie Fox and Sue


Ryding, who are wonderfully support­ ed by John G r i f f in and M a t th ew Vaughan, and also by Darren South- worth, who plays more parts than any- one, but then almost everyone plays more than one part, and it would spoil


the effect i f I reveal which ones. I f you know the play well, as I do,


then this wonderfully-anarchic inter­ pretation gives a whole new insight, and also brings out all the witty epi­


grams better than many'a convention­ al production.


. I f you like your Shakespeare m dou­


blet and hose, and your drawing room comedies a la Noel Coward, then this will give you quite a shock, but I am sure that Wilde himself would have


approved. Director Lawrence Till gives Wilde s , ,


play a relevance that reflects both the repressive Victorian era in which it was written, and ourmore.permissive.ancL


tolerant age. , _ ' T h e design by Richard Foxton


makes brilliant use of the "handbag and the sets add considerably to the entertainment. This is the third time I have seen this


p articular production and I s t i l l laughed uproariously.
