Slaves are auctioned off to boost appeal


SLAVES bravely p u t themselves up for auction a t th e Dog Music and Sports Bar - and gave a huge boost to a fund-raising weekend in aid of two local cancer sufferers. A total of £3,000 was raised over a three-day period


to be presented to two Manchester hospitals, Pendle- bury and Christie’s. Clitheroe Tesco worker and a regular at the pub, Wendy


Boyer, is a patient at the Christie Hospital suffering from leukemia.


Three-year-old Declan Tattersall, the son of a doorman


at the pub, Keiron Tattersall, is being cared for by Pendle- bury Children’s Hospital. Staff at the pub wanted to raise as much money as pos­


sible towards the hospitals that are helping the two. Events began on Friday night, when the pub held a suc­


cessful “Doctors and Nurses” costume evening with a donation bucket at the front door, raising nearly £400. This was followed with more than £200 collected in the


bucket on the Saturday evening - when they had an Ali G impersonator as entertainment. The weekend ended with the huge slave auction on


Sunday, which brought in crowds of people to enjoy the fun and help out the charity. After games, competitions and a barbecue during the

The event was only hampered at around 9 p.m. when


vandals set fire to the bins at the rear of the pub. Liz said: “I t was a shame about the fire, but it wasn’t a

Small is beautiful for wine-growing Ken


KEN SMALL and his wife first planted vines at Fairhall Downs, in the Marlborough region of South Island, New Zealand, in 1982 and their success story is typical of the short wine growing history of the islands. In around 20 years


New Zealand has firmly put its mark on the wine world with sauvignon blanc as, perhaps, its most successful export, surprisingly as chardonnay is the most widely planted white grape variety. A country with a relatively short wine history, but with a great future ahead. Fairhall Downs is a small vineyard by European stan­ dards, 32 hectares in total. Concen­ trating on pinot noir, pinot gris, chardonnay and sauvignon blanc. The first bottling, under their own label, of sauvignon blanc was in 1996 and the current vintage, 2002 is stunning. Some New Zealand sauvignon


blancs are often too overpowering and "in your face”. FAIRHALL DOWNS


SAUVIGNON BLANC is more restrained yet packed with so much flavour. This has been achieved from an unusual technique of harvesting selected bunches of grapes over a nine day period, all done at night to retain the freshness of the flavours. The grape juice (must) is cool fermented at a low temperature (12-14 degrees


cheese on a crouton, set on mixed leaves dressed with a redcurrant vinai­ grette, and the wine was a perfect match. You could try this wine with asparagus, fresh crab or scallops or with baked aubergine with Parmesan cheese. As this is only a small produc­ tion and the estate is getting too many accolades to mention, this is worth snapping up - a sauvignon blanc of top quality, under a tenner and cheaper than Cloudy Bay, what more can I say?


mid palate and the gentle acidity that is the hallmark of this grape variety. The current vintage is offered by Bowland Forest Vintners for £9.99 and they also stock the pinot gris for around £3 more. You would be in good company with this food friendly wine as it is on the wine list of The Angel at Iletton and Northcote Manor, Langho, among our local hostelries. I tried mine with grilled goat’s


C) over 28 days, giving extra richness and pre­ serving all those flavours. Marlborough sauvignon blanc is very different than, say Gisborne on North Island. This wine has the traditional goose­ berry aromas with a herbal overtone. The richness of the vintage offers a touch of tropical fruit, pineapple in the
