IT always strikes me as peculiar how a- grape variety, like the p in o t gris, can be called by dif ferent, names in different


countries. The fashionable zin-


fandel is called pnmitivo in Italy, but now the Italians are catching on and labelling their primi­ tive as zinfandel. So it is with the pinot gris - if you have not heard of it maybe you have heard or tasted pinot grigio;. they are one and the same. The pinot gris is the


spicy pinot, but in Italy it does tend to be a little thin because of larger yields or crops; take this grape into Fiance Eind it becomes the Alsace's tokay pinot gris. I t is grown in Ger­


many, where it can also be called Rulander; move to Switzerland and it is called Malvoisie de Valais. There are planti­ ngs in Hungary and Romania - with yet

12000 at £5.99 and comes. from the Pfalz region of Germany. Made by Ernst " Loosen, a renowned winemaker,, being the Wine Maker of the Year in 2001. Here is not the typical


Germanic style of wine, but a richly-coloured, almost golden wine; a honeyed bouquet with hints of spices leading


into a fich'almost .oily

ied with hints of nuts, honey and an apple crispness which gives it a definite dry finish. This is quite complex for the price; the Alsace version

hair-raising, with plenty of spills and thrills. Every Scout and Cub had the opportunity to take a turn and some had several. The Beavers from St Paul’s, Clitheroe, went to shout and cheer, but then had a chance to take part on a shortened course. ■ By the time the Scouts showed off


their masterpieces, the light was failing fast, so car headlights were used to give the course a night-time glow. “Attheend of the evening, the young-

Sunny day for naturalists’ group’s circular ramble


A GROUP of 24 members of Clitheroe Naturalists enjqyed a warm sunny day - on a circular walk at Garstang. Setting off along the disused railway


embankment used by the "Pilling Pig", the walk crossed the railway and, after a . gradual ascent, there were .views towards Morecambe Bay and the Bowr land Fells. The path then dropped into Calder Vale, a small industrial village tucked

Here’s to the next

Ms Wooff's concern about the condi- • tion of public conveniences in Clitheroe, this service is the responsi­ bility of Ribble Valley Borough Coun­ cil and Ms Wooff should refer her com­ plaint to its officers. The arrangements for the jubilee


Torchlight were in the hands of a com­ mittee of local, unpaid volunteers, three of which happen to be town council members. I act as secretary of the Torchlight committee. Unfortunately, the missive from Ms


Wooff does nothing to encourage peo­ ple who have given so freely of their time to make the Torchlight a success. No doubt Ms Wooff wrote with the


best of intentions, but her letter does illustrate a malaise which appears to affect a great many people, namely a complete lack of knowledge about local government and the provision of public services generally. Probably more than 50 per cent of
