But appearances were deceptive. The film shows Merrick's struggle to rise from sideshow side-show brutality to some measure of peace, beauty, and friendship, and in many ways it employs the cliches of the misunderstood Frankenstein Frank-enstein story. But John Hurt in the title role is remark i ' I if Wine tasting, Part Several weeks ago we presented a selection of domestic Riesling wines designed design-ed to acquaint readers with the full, fruity taste of that grape. Readers were requested to sample five Riesling wines within a geographic area stretching from Monterey, California on the south to Washington and Idaho on the north. While certainly exhibiting differences, all wines tasted had definite Riesling characteristics. character-istics. The grape normally produces a slightly gold color, has a faint bouquet that increases as the wine is warmed, and displays a full-bodied, fruity flavor. Generally General-ly speaking, the wines you tasted from Napa, Monterey and San Jose were drier and slightly more acidic than those grown further north. t Assuming . you were able to obtain reasonably old winesii,977, 1978 for example, they were smooth to the palate and generally lacking the mouth-puckering quality of wines with more tannin. Rieslings are normally somewhat sweet, unlike a Chardonnay, for example, and the scent of wood, although present, is not obvious. Our original purpose in arranging this domestic wine tasting centered around familarization with the grape type. Our ultimate goal is to experience and recognize the Riesling grape from its native ground-Germany. ground-Germany. The complexity of German wine labeling scares off many people and we have spent some time discussing it in this column. Fortunately, the complexity of the wine label is designed to inform and clarify the intricacies of German wines. Having sampled a broad spectrum of Rieslings, we now enter a wine store with high hopes of making our German purchase. German white wines come in two different colored bottles, one green, the other brown. The colors represent the two famous growing regions of Germany, brown for the Rhine River Valley, and green for the Mosel River Valley. While the Rhine, also referred to as the Rheingau, produces marvelous wine, it is in the Mosel Valley that the Riesling grape achieves perfection. , Consequently, for this first purchase we will select only the tall, green bottles from the Mosel. Read the labels on several of the bottles, and across the top you may see the words Mosel - Saar - Ruwer. The Mosel is the main river, the Saar and the Ruwer are tributaries. The bottles you are viewing may come from a 125-mile long stretch of the Mosel, a 30-mile stretch of the Saar or a 75-mile run of the Ruwer. Wines from along the Saar tend to sparkle and are well bred; Ruwer wines display a smoky and elegant acidity, while the Mosel rThe i 1st Monday nights Serving the finest Mexican food and Char Broiled Burgers Mon - Sun 5:30-11:00 434 Main Street 649-6645 by Kick ably moving, making himself felt even though mummified in a gargoyle's costume. Director David Lynch and photographer Freddie Francis Fran-cis grasp the period well, and have woven it into the story line in swirling, black-mushroom imaginary, which shows as Merrick's origin an elephant which knocked down his pregnant mother which then dissolves into the pounding, sooty machinery of England's Industrial Age. A provocative, if not always coherent, visual idea. Anthony Hopkins, John Gielgud, and the remaining British cast are capable, but not complex.

Ordinary People Robert Redford's directional direct-ional debut indulges certain :... . .. aui-iv jiiiiiiciii wines are quite full-bodied. For now, we will stay with the Mosel and choose a middle stretch of the river. Several villages appear with numerous communes or vineyards. While the numbers of great wines are prolific, we will mention only those you are apt to find in the store. The village of Neumagen contains several prime vineyards, and Rosengartchen is the magical name to look' for. A bit further down the river is Piesport where Goldtropfchen and Falkenberg are made. These two wines will bear a remarkable similarity to the Rieslings of Washington and Oregon. Further down the stream you will encounter the village of Bernkastel. A number of Bernkastle wines should be available in the store with the Bernkastle-Kues being the cream of the crop, so to speak. Moving in slightly off the Mosel and up the Saar is the village of Okfen, producing Okfener Geisberg as well as Okfener Bockstein, a delightful wine and one of my favorites. In the past week I tasted two different bottles of Okfener Bockstein and was not disappointed by either. The first was a 1971 "auslese", probably the best vintage in the last 20 years. The second was a 1978 "qualitassen" rated, and while not as smooth, it was still excellent and caused a considerably smaller dent in the pocketbook. This wine, in a 1979 vintage, may be available today in the Trolley Square store. As we mentioned in our original tasting column, expect to pay somewhat more for European wines than their domestic counterparts. counter-parts. Many of the wines listed above sell for $5 to $10 a bottle, although several are much less, and careful shopping always helps. In addition, importers are well aware that increasing wine prices hurt business. Many of the better negociants like Lichene and Schoonmaker have located excellent wines with less famous names and imported them under their own label. One example is a Frank Schoonmaker Riesling that undoubtedly undoubt-edly was bottled from one of the better Mosel villages. This wine is also available at local wine shops. During the next month we encourage you to purchase five German Rieslings from the above mentioned wines. In drinking them we imagine you will find striking similarities to the California wines chosen earlier. No doubt, you will also discover a number of differences, especially between the various Mosel wines. Attempt to identify a favorite among the Germans, and with time you will find purchasing other foreign wines far easier. As an additional aid, in next week's Winepress we will provide detailed explanations explan-ations on reading german wine labels. Irish Camel NFL Football Big Screen Tube Pitcher Vi Price Brough cliches from the suburban soap opera, but overcomes them. The Jarretts are a seemingly stable family who threaten to erupt when the oldest son is accidently killed. They have never learned how to draw together to-gether in a crisis. The core of the problem seems to lie with the son (well-played by oscar-winning Tim Hutton) who survived the same accident and is now suicidal. But the real trouble lies with Beth, the wife, who resents the way her orderly life has been endangered by the death of her favorite son, and the problems of the son who remains.
