Sweet wine: Light desserts complement taste
Continued from page 5
backbone and a smooth finish.”
LaVelle Vineyards, in Elmira,
Ore., but has a wine bar and bistro
in town at the Fifth Street Public
Market, carries two late-harvest
Reislings, an ice wine Reisling
called Autumn Nectar and an off
dry Reisling, which is fruitier than
its dry Reisling counterpart and is
available at the wine bar for $12.
The late-harvest Reislings and Au
tumn Nectar are only available for
purchase at the vineyard.
Ambiel recommends serving
dessert wines with light desserts,
such as simple fruit tarts, so as not
to counterbalance the wine’s flavor.
If it’s super sweet, the wine can be a
dessert in itself.
“I like the Autumn Nectar with
ice cream,” she said. “When you eat
something too sweet, it takes away
from the sweetness of the wine and
it’s too overpowering, unless you’re
a sugar fiend. Sweet wines comple
ment lighter desserts.”
Cornucopia Deli, at 295 W. 17th
St., offers a selection of sweet
wines, including a lineup from the
Wasson Brothers, a winery based in
Sandy, Ore. The Wasson Brothers
produce syrupy wines in fruit fla
vors such as raspberry, rhubarb and
blackberry. Also available at Cornu
copia Deli are late-harvest Reislings,
Muscats (a fruity wine made from
Muscat grapes), meads (a wine
made from fermented honey), ports
and sherries. Most grocery stores
carry dessert wines, although Am
biel suggests buying from a store
with a reputable wine expert on
staff to offer advice, such as the PC
Market of Choice.
University graduate Andrea
Cowan, enjoys a glass of dessert wine
after dinner on a special occasion,
said sweet wines are much more
popular among women than men.
“I don’t know any guys who like
sweet wine,” she said. “Guys tend
to stay away from the fruity stuff.
In our age group, it’s just a
mental thing.”
Regardless of the drinker’s gen
der, many college students like to
drink after dinner, and because
sweet wines don’t require food to
complement them or wash them
down, they are a fine choice.
"I think younger people drink
wine for the effect,” sociology stu
dent Catrina Ralls said. “Since the
tastes of sweet wines are smoother
than dark, dry wines, it’s easier to
drink more of them at once.”

the first modern slashers was
“Reazione a Catena,” an Italian film
known by a wide range of titles
around the world. It is best known
here as “Twitch of the Death Nerve”
or “Bay of Blood.” Released in 1971
and directed by Italian horror mas
ter Mario Bava, it holds many of the
basic elements of modern slasher
films. The killer has an unjustifiable
motivation for his killings, the vic
tims are generally unpleasant and
the requisite slash and thrash at
mosphere is thick.
The original “Halloween”
solidified the genre to a set pattern
from which it has yet to be broken.
It’s a brilliant movie, but like most
brilliant pieces of art, its imitators
fall short over and over again. Most
slashers display the worst aspects of
horror. But maybe the new batch of
horror films can get a clue by look
ing back at their roots.
