length, it captures the delights of not only the Ribble Valley, but neigh­ bouring Pendleside and Yorkshire Dales villages. Much of the filming

From Pendle Hill’s sum­ mit and views all around to


a finale featuring footage of the 2002 Torchlight cele­ brations with its breath­ taking fireworks display from the Castle Keep, the video is pure entertain­ ment. The commentary is


packed with interesting snippets and introduces Downham blacksmith Steve Marshall, Simon Barnes from Bashall Barn,

from Bordeaux delivers a consistent quality, even in poor harvest years. Mostly cabernet sauvi- gnon (75%), half is fer­ mented in new oak and only the free run juices are used in the blend, so this is a wine made how the winemaker wants and not one to a price. Expect to pay around £15 upwards for a first class claret that will not break the bank. VOLNAY ler Cru

GRIS, from Alsace will soon be called PINOT GRIS in a wrangle over the EEC’s naming of grapes and regions. It is one of my favourite wine regions. I have selected the TOKAY PINOT GRIS from Roily Gassman for pure hon­ eyed concentration of fruit, but with a dry, powerful and long finish, excellent for the turkey. Expect to pay around £13 for this white wine stunner. To balance the old


world to the New World wines, I have enjoyed CLINE ANCIENT


VINE ZINFANDEL. Made from very ripe grapes and from old vines (80 to 100 year old) this is power and concen­ tration, yet the ripeness conceals the tannins


•well. I t has itastes of intense autumnal berried fruits, for around £12, and a very long finish.' Portugal always has


pleasant surprises around each corner. I could do several articles on the new wave of wines from this country. How­ ever, the wines from QUINTA. DOS ROQUES are always a pleasure. The single grape varieties are impressive, one such is A LFROCHEI RO PRETO, a massive red wine, aged in new French oak barrels. The crimson fruit is compli­ mented by the rich vanillery tannins from the casks. The presenta­ tion is as impressive as the wine’s ripeness of blackcurrant and spice aroma with a fresh ele­ gant finish, all for around £14 a bottle. Last, but not least,,


from Australia OMRAH SHIRAZ comes from Western Australia and is made by. Plantagenet winery. This wine dis­ plays the characteristics of this grape from warm climates, beautiful soft ripe velvety tannins sur­ rounding full blown red currant fruits with hints of mint and eucalyptus. Expect to pay around £9.


All wines are available


locally from Booths, D. Byrne and Co. or Bow- land Forest Vintners. East drink and enjoy


and a merry Bacchana­ lian. Christmas to you all.

Chess club saddened by death of member Vince


CLITHEROE Chess Club has been saddened by the loss of valued member Vincent Tormey, who ’ died after a long illness. Vince played chess for Accrington in the mid-sev­


enties, then Burnley before playing for Clitheroe. Last season he played five games, winning twice and drawing the other three. This played a major part in the league cup victo­


ries of both Clitheroe teams. Like Brian Carr, Vince had a gentlemanly conduct at the board and the club will sorely miss him. Regards are conveyed to his family. Meanwhile, theA Team drew its league match


against Hawks A. Phillip Titterington drew against a player rated about 50 points higher.Michael' Howseman maintained his undefeated record with a draw on the top board. Eric Mansfield won after his king’s side attack broke through. John Rodgers gained another draw for the home team and thus the points were tied. Clitheroe Chess Club meets every Tuesday evening from 7p.m. at the Catholic Social Centre on Lowergate. Players of all ages and abilities are most welcome. For further details please contact Brendan Brown on 01200 441949.
