THE wines of Chateauneuf-du- Pape have been held in the high­ est esteem for many decades. The vines here are individual


bush vines grown on what looks like a huge shingle beach made of the “pudding stones” or galets, which act like storage heaters. Absorbing the sun in the day and releasing its heat back into the ground at night, so prolonging the ripening season. This results in wines always high in alcohol and ripeness. There are 13 permitted grape


varieties in this region which, in 1923, was the first appellation controllee system in France. In reality most growers use five of the permitted grape varieties, but three producers use all 13, these are Chateau de Beaucastel, Chateau Mont-Redon and this example from Domaine de Nalys. The DOMAINE DE NALYS


2002 is on offer at Booths at £9.99 down from £14 until April 2nd and worth trying if you are a fan

CHOCOLATE GUINNESS CAKE with Jennie Aspinall


MANCHESTER is celebrating the city’s 10th Irish Festival this month with Irish music, song, dance and culture. The festival attracts many stars and


with wine writer Mike Murdoch


of hearty, big red wines. This wine was selected by Hachette, the French wine lovers’ bible, as an outstanding example of its kind. Garnet in colour with a meaty,


savoury, almost herbal nose and a full ripeness of fruit - black cherry, blackberry and plums. The finish is of a medium length with the oak surrounding the fruit and not dominating it, very supple, round­ ed wine with light tannins.

a 20-minute intermission entertainment for the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest. There, its phenomenal reception inspired composer Bill Whelan to expand the piece into a full-length stage show, still centred around Irish music, but now telling a loose story of many different peoples who in the 20th century have found themselves emi­ gres. The paradoxically formal yet expres­


shows including, of course, “Riverdance”, which myself, my husband and seven chums went along to see a t the MEN Arena last Friday. “Riverdance” was originally devised as


sive, sensual, and exhilarating energy of traditional Irish dance and Irish folk music is only the beginning. A work full of strong melodies, excite­


ment, romantic dreams, and nostalgic longing, the full Riverdance show is a spellbinding spectacle. The Irish classical music incorporates

the haunting sound of a vocal group, and adds the diverse folk sounds of Nova Sco­ tia, Macedonia, Russia, and Andalucia to this rich cultural melting pot. The highlight, however, is the Irish


dancing when all the dancers are on stage and every step is in identical movement with the person along the line. I t certainly makes the hair on your neck stand up and

2 days £119.00 Wftll IVIARCIA MORRIS makes you want to dance down the steps


of the arena. Although Sue said: “They spoke with


their feet, but not to me”. While Paul her husband, enthused and said: “I thought they were uplifting and embodied every­ thing about the Irish spirit”. Frank’s thoughts were “What it lacked


in narrative it made up for in energy” and Jennie thought the whole experience was a fun. This is the last time that “Riverdance”


will be performed in Manchester, but I hear Michael Flatley is to appear, after a year off from dancing, some time in the future whether it be with his “Lord of the Dance” or his new show “Feet of Flames” I do not know. However, before “Riverdance” our


party had a little taste of Champagne in Harvey Nicks, before returning to our wonderful hotel, the Victoria and Albert, which is being refurbished to the high standard of the Marriott hotel group. Here we enjoyed a few canapes prior to


leaving for the MEN Arena. After the show, of course, we had to


visit the current “in place” in Manchester - the Restaurant and Bar - for a drinkette or two, Paul’s favourite being a champagne cocktail comprising - one sugar cube, five drops Angostura Bitters, measure of Grand Marnier and Champagne and called “Paul’s Wicked Wake”. This is Jennie’s recipe for chocolate


Guinness cake which she assures me looks like a big pint of Guinness when decorated.


Ingredients Cake


• 250ml Guinness • 250g unsalted butter • 75g cocoa • 400g caster sugar • 1X 142ml pot sour cream • 2 eggs • 1 tbsp real vanilla extract • 275g plain flour • 2 tsps bicarbonate of soda


Topping


• 300g Philadelphia cream cheese • 150g icing sugar


Method 1. Preheat oven to gas mark 4/180C and


butter and line a 23cm spring form tin. 2. Pour the Guinness into a large, wide


saucepan, add the butter - in slices - and heat until the butter is melted. Whisk in the cocoa and sugar. 3. Beat the sour cream with the eggs


and vanilla and then pour into the brown, buttery, beery pan and finally whisk in the flour and the bicarb. 4. Pour the mixture into the greased and


lined cake tin and bake for 45-60 minutes. Leave to cool completely in the tin on a cooling rack, as it is quite a damp cake. 5. When the cake is cold, lightly whip


the cream cheese until smooth, sieve in the icing sugar and beat them both together. Ice the top of the black cake so that it resembles the frothy top of the famous pint.
