LAMB CHOPS WITH CITRUS AND MINT


SALMON WITH CITRUS MARINADE


I WROTE this column last Thurs­ day, the same day that the Royal Lancashire Show was abandoned because of the torrential rain the day before, so let us hope that the weather improves this week and we


can plan a weekend barbecue once more. One of the joys of the British sum­


mer is the opportunity it gives to get out into the garden and enjoy a good old barbecue. And the best thing is people are much more adventurous


with what they cook on the barbie these days. Recognising this, many magazines


supply us with some fabulous ideas for mouthwatering barbecue recipes. Marinades also add a special extra something to meat, enhancing the


taste without masking the actual flavour. Salmon and lamb chops can be absolute barbecue treats and a nice


change from sausages and beefburg­ ers

Second­ ly the fruit comes through without the use of oak. Thirdly and most impor­ tant is the grape’s natural acidity. With most other grape varieties as the grape ripens the sugar lev­ els increase and the acidity decreases, not so with this variety as the grapes mature and ripen the acid­ ity is more or less stable.

Our international palate calls for winemak­ ers around the globe who are selling to the UK mar­ ket to vinify their wines on the dry side.

WACHENHEIMER RIESLING TROCKEN at £8.99 from D. Byrne. This has a unique style, the nose gives hints of a honeyed wine, the mid palate is like peaches and cream, but the finish is dry, a perfect aperitif on a summer’s evening before the barbecue. If you are after perfection and the price is irrelevant the world’s greatest dry ries­ ling, according to Clive Coates MW, is Clos Ste. Hune from Trimbach, but it will cost over £45 a bot­ tle, as we tasted this recently at the wine club.


AFTER spending two exciting years working as a senior editor for Hong Kong’s biggest entertain­ ment weekly, Polly Evans decided to swap the


deadlines and twizzly office chair for life in the sad­ dle. Polly headed for Spain on her bike, She set her­


self a target of a thousand miles in six weeks with the bike made from parts from all over Europe. She experienced her first adventure on day one


when she endured a trauma-packed day in the Pyrenees and from then on the trip was full of highs and lows.
