Escape into an artist’s dream garden By Jenn Sharp WHO: Cecelia and Mel Jurgens. Cecelia has led art tours to Europe and South America for the past 13 years. Along with working on their painting and sketching at various locations on the tour, the group always visits wineries too, “because we’re artists,” laughs Cecelia. An established artist, her watercolour and acrylic paintings sell to collectors all over the world. WHERE: In the northern part of Saskatoon, just a few blocks from the river. WHAT: An expansive backyard retreat that brings a European feel to the space shared by the couple. The artist’s touch is evident in the home, too. Cecelia’s large and colourful canvas paintings grace the walls, but step into the garden to get a real feel for this artist’s work. The couple’s love for travel and entertaining is reflected in the garden. Framed by large trees, the eye flows easily from one element of the garden to the next, while the ear picks up the sound of water running softly through a fountain. A statue of blue heron, which Cecelia made from paper mache, strikes a pose in one area. The back fence is the garden’s focal point – two succulent “living walls” hang next to Cecelia’s bright acrylic painting of lilies, befit the garden setting. “I love succulents. They’re just so interesting. They’ve got character,” she says. The painting comes out in the spring and goes away for the winter. For it to withstand the rain, Cecelia first treated the board, and then weather proofed the finished painting several times. “It’s really had a test this year. We’ve had downpours! And it’s been ok,” she says.

SPACES WHEN: The Jurgens bought the house 30 years ago. Six years ago, they began a renovation project which would eventually change the look of the entire house. “Once you start, it takes over the whole house,” says Cecelia. The garden has evolved a lot during that time too. A raised deck, common in so many backyards, was a feature Cecelia didn’t enjoy. She wanted a more grounded feel and a space that was easier to host guests. WHY: When it came time for a change, the couple decided to renovate instead of buying a new home. They loved the area, their neighbours and the mature landscaping in their yard. The large brick courtyard now allows for long tables to accommodate the frequent backyard parties the couple hosts. A stretch of open lawn was made for playing bocce ball. An inspiring place for the creative mind, Cecelia often invites her artist friends to bring their easels and paint in the garden all afternoon. HOW: Cecelia does all the planting, while Mel maintains and weeds the garden. “Mel really enjoys the garden and yard. It’s a hobby,” she smiles. “We spend a lot of time out here. In the afternoon, we’ll sit and have a tapas and a glass of wine. Then in the evening, it’s nice to sit and enjoy or have someone over for a visit.” jksharp@thestarphoenix.com Twitter.com/JennKSharp
NEST SECRET GARDEN TOUR Aug. 10, 1 to 5 p.m. A self-guided tour of seven fabulous Saskatoon gardens, including Ceceilia and Mel Jurgens’s. Funds raised go towards Nest’s refugee settlement programs in Saskatoon. Passports are $12; available at Blossoms, Dutch Growers and Anthology. Nest finds gardens for the tour mainly by door knocking — if the front yard looks good, there’s likely to be a gorgeous back yard hidden away, too. “We want beautiful gardens, but interesting and different — not necessarily something that’s over the top. This (garden) is obviously spectacular though,” says tour organizer Maureen McPherson.

HAIDAH AMIRZADEH
The art of meeting halfway
Immigration lawyer Haidah Amirzadeh was seven months pregnant and didn’t speak English when she came to Saskatoon in 1989 as a political refugee from Iran. BRIDGES PHOTO BY MICHELLE BERG
By Alyssa McMurtry Her thin, light-pink dress wavered in the frigid November air as Haidah Amirzadeh stepped onto the tarmac of the Saskatoon airport. She was seven months pregnant with her first child, and had only the faintest notions of what her new life would bring. It was 1989 and she had escaped Iran. Many of her family members were involved in politics and she knew she had to leave. The Canadian
government granted her status as a political refugee. After waiting for two years in Turkey, she could finally settle down. She knew no English and knew no one in all of Canada, except her husband, who walked with her off the airplane. When the government asked her where she would like to go in Canada, she had no preference. She wanted to leave it to fate. The news came that she was going to Saskatoon and Amirzadeh was intrigued. The culture and spiritu-
ality of the aboriginals piqued her interest. And since she came from a wheat-growing region of Iran, she thought it would be an easy adjustment. No problem. The problem was, she didn’t check what Saskatoon’s weather was like. When she daydreamed about her future, she imagined it would be hot, like where the wheat grows in Iran. “I don’t forget the shock that my body received the day I came. I felt I had been dropped in a deep freeze. That was a shocking year of my
life,” said Amirzadeh, smiling, in her light-filled home office, 24 years later. That year, the shock didn’t stop at the weather. Six months after having a beautiful baby boy, Aatesh, she separated from her husband. They had different visions about what she would do in the future. As the snow melted from the strange trees, she started her life as a single mom. ■■■
In Romania, when Eniko Reka Kincses gave birth to her daughter, Boglarka, those closest to Kincses begged her to give up her baby. Boglarka’s cerebral palsy was evident at a young age and the girl was considered burdensome. It was 23 years ago that Kincses refused to send her baby away. In turn, her husband abandoned her and her parents disowned her. She was a single mom, with a handicapped daughter and had to make her own way in the precarious economy of Romania.

By 2006, Kincses was compelled to take work that made it impossible for her to care for her daughter. She placed her daughter in a state home and although she visited her often, the separation was unbearable. Two years later, she made the decision to come to Saskatoon, where her sister had lived since 1998. After she arrived with the Immigrant Nominee Program in 2009, she watched her daughter thrive. Kincses started working in a care home but a year later the job ended. The Canadian government said she could stay and continue working but again, forces tried to tear her and her daughter apart. The federal government deemed the girl “medically inadmissible,” and did not want to support Boglarka’s health care needs. The medical bills were around $6,000 per year. The first deportation order came in 2011. Kincses contacted her lawyer — Haidah Amirzadeh. They battled the order for years but Kincses’s deportation was imminent. On the last weekend of January, 2013, they reluctantly prepared for her departure. She had to leave the country at 5 a.m. the following Wednesday. Kincses and Amirzadeh scrambled to appeal. Amirzadeh scheduled a federal hearing and mustered up a letter of support from 200 people in Saskatoon. The case made the news and the
two were in the spotlight. Amirzadeh pushed Saskatchewan’s provincial government to send a letter to the federal officials. The two became more hopeful on Monday. Tuesday, minutes before the final appeal, Kincses and Amirzadeh were notified the hearing wouldn’t be necessary. Kincses and her daughter could stay as temporary residents. Kincses was elated and Amirzadeh hit a high in her career as an immigration lawyer. “I never would have been able to do this without Haidah,” said Kincses. She still lives in Saskatoon and hopes to start studying nursing at the university this January. “She’s a goodhearted, strong woman and she came as a refugee. She knew.” “She’s not like, ‘you are a person who’s going to pay me.’ No, she tries to put herself in your shoes and understand, that way, your situation,” said Kincses. She still meets with Amirzadeh from time to time to chat about their futures. Much of the work Amirzadeh did in the complicated and emotional case was pro-bono. “On a professional level, success for me is achieving the goals I have set for myself. It’s not about money. If I feel my work is meaningful and benefiting others, I feel quite content and happy,” said Amirzadeh. Continued on Page 8

I’d love to see people open up a bit and realize everyone comes from different backgrounds so that means what’s acceptable for some people, isn’t acceptable for others. It’s the mixing of ideas that really has made Canada what it is. — Amirzadeh
Two years after she arrived in Saskatoon, Haidah Amirzadeh began taking classes at the University of Saskatchewan. She earned a degree in fine arts before going to law school. BRIDGES PHOTO BY MICHELLE BERG
■■■ The story of how Amirzadeh became a successful lawyer and hero in the immigrant community boils down to a relentless pursuit of meaningful goals. “I never gave myself a plan B and when you don’t give yourself an alternative, you work hard because you don’t have an option,” she said in her
slight Persian accent. After she gave birth to son Aatash, her focus was on raising him and making Saskatoon her home. In the beginning she stayed home and watched TV and read as much as possible to learn English. She eventually enrolled in classes at the Open Door Society, where she slowly began to master her new language. Today, she serves as the presi-
dent of the organization’s board of directors. “The main thing is communication. I always tell my clients to learn English and make friends with people outside of your community. It’s scary to take the steps to meet new people, but invite them to your house, go for coffee. We are actually all human beings,” she said. Amirzadeh’s outgoing personality
facilitated her to build strong connections with friends. She knew she had to put herself out there. Now, she strongly believes that the intermingling of cultures is beneficial to society. “I’d love to see people open up a bit and realize everyone comes from different backgrounds so that means what’s acceptable for some people, isn’t acceptable for other. It’s the
mixing of ideas that really has made Canada what it is,” she said. “It’s the art of meeting halfway.” Two years after her arrival, Amirzadeh was confident enough in herself and her English to enrol at the University of Saskatchewan. She paid her tuition by washing dishes, babysitting and delivering pizzas. Continued on Page 10

It’s a challenging area of law for sure. It’s whether or not someone’s going to be sent back to their country, whether someone will be reunited with their spouse or if someone will be detained in their countries. — Chris Veeman
“One of our prairie rituals is to go Beaver Creek and feed the birds,” said Amirzadeh about her family. Husband Grant McConnell commends her artistic side: “(Her work is) conceptually and spiritually determined.”
She began by taking one class and eventually finished her degree in fine arts. She focused on photography and video. “Her work is very passionate. It’s conceptually and spiritually determined,” said her husband, Grant McConnell, a painter and sculpture who taught art at the University of Saskatchewan at the same time Amirzadeh was enrolled. He did not teach her, he emphasized. She considered getting a master’s degree in fine arts, but wanted to do something where she could help others in a tangible and concrete way. She wanted to directly change lives. People told her that law school was too difficult and even Canadians struggle to finish. This gave her all the more motivation, so she spent years studying laborious legal texts in her second language. Now, she
teaches immigration law classes at the university and has her own practice. “I knew when I came to Canada that in order to succeed, I had to educate myself and find a field or position where people couldn’t push me around. It is such a powerful position to be a lawyer. People respect you,” she said. Now, as one of the few immigration lawyers in the city, the futures of immigrants and refugees lives frequently hinge on Amirzadeh’s hard work. “It’s a challenging area of law for sure. It’s whether or not someone’s going to be sent back to their country, whether someone will be reunited with their spouse or if someone will be detained in their countries,” said Chris Veeman, another immigration lawyer in Saskatoon. Today, Amirzadeh is fighting to re-
unite a Pakistani family. Ashfaq Afridi lives in Saskatoon alone, after the government would not recognize the adoption of their son, Ajjab. His wife, Waheeda, refuses to leave one of the most dangerous regions of Pakistan without him. The process is still underway, but again, Amirzadeh persuaded the provincial government to send an official letter of support to the federal government. She is hopeful the family will be reunited soon. ■■■ Balancing her emotional and demanding career and her family life has been another of Amirzadeh’s ambitious goals. While fighting for the rights of families, she has expanded her own. While attending law school she had two more children. Afsohneh is 13
and Niiki is 12. “Her work is hard on her, you know, as it should be. There are some lawyers that have a thick skin but she’s altered by all these injustices, bigotry and antiquated laws,” said her husband, McConnell. “She’s got a tough side, which is what’s usually seen in the public, but she’s also a very loving person,” he said. “If you’re loving, it puts you in a better place, maybe you’re more vulnerable but when you’re negotiating all these human stories, it makes you more capable.” After working for other law firms, she decided to set up her own practice. Now, she is able to do most of her work from her home-office, while still meeting clients in her downtown office. Although she often works from home, her morning ritual always consists of taking a shower, putting
on makeup and wearing nice clothes, as a way for her to feel prepared to take on whatever comes her way. “A family needs a lot of attention and I want to make sure I am always there for them,” she said. Her happiest moments, she said, materialize when she makes them happy. As a family, they like to travel, ride horses, play table tennis — all the normal things, she said. “My kids are such interesting products because they are Canadian but they still have strong ties to my culture. It’s funny though when they try to change their immigrant mother. It’s too late! It’s like ‘mom you’re embarrassing us,’” she said. Sometimes when friends of her children come over for dinner; her family asks her to modify what she cooks. She does not. “Let them try it,” she said, laughing.

Her stunning face belies the struggles she’s been through. Her philosophy is not to dwell on the past and instead learn from mistakes and move forward. “You call a place home when you feel like you can be yourself and Canada is absolutely my home. There are times when you feel, maybe everyone does, that something is missing
because I wasn’t born here,” she said. “But generally speaking, I’m very happy and I don’t think a day goes by that I don’t appreciate being here. I just don’t know what I would have been if I went anywhere else.” amcmurtry@thestarphoenix.com Twitter.com/a_lysssss SAS00264252_1_1

LOCA L AUT H ORS: Writers tell us what makes their book worth reading
GLADYS MCELREA
Dying To Live: Death May Be a Second Chance I believe that my book was conceived the morning I awoke from a rather weird dream involving, strangely enough, immortals. For several weeks, images from this dream continued to replay in my mind, causing me to wonder what if ? What if the person transformed into an immortal was a thirty something wife and mother and someone with baggage? Most stories of this genre are about single twenty something women with no family ties. How would she reconcile this new existence with her past human one, and how would her family react to the new version of her? Would she willingly choose this, and if so, what would compel her to do so? My imagination burst into flames with the possibilities.
While the theme of Dying to Live is a dark one, I feel that I have achieved a blending of light and dark with this book. Many situations that come up for the main character and her family can’t help but end in humor; life is just like that. S he desperately wants to keep her transformation a secret, but secrets have a way of stepping out into the light when you least expect. Her new existence brings about drastic changes in her body, mind, and spirit — changes that effect how she interacts with others and deals with issues of an ethical nature. In order for Cherri to find lasting love and joy, she must learn what to hold onto and what to let go of. She must discover that real love is unconditional.

At the time this story came to me, I was writing and performing music in the Sudbury Ontario region, with no intention of publishing a novel. But like the songs I composed, this story refused to be denied. Writing a novel is a different process than composing and producing music, so I was grateful for the classes in journalism arts I had taken. I worked at it on and off over a three year period and through two major moves, first to Manitoba, then Saskatchewan.

A tale of two Spanish gardens
The plaza in Park Güell, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was built in the 1300s. PHOTO COURTESY MARVICSEBA One of the picturesque courtyards in Alhambra. PHOTO COURTESY TUXYSO
By Sara Williams Many Canadians escape to the lake to avoid the heat of summer. In Spain, there are gardens, built hundreds of years ago and many miles apart, that provide the same kind of relief, along with a balm for the soul. In Granada, in the south of Spain, you’ll find the Alhambra and Generalife gardens, built for the Moorish sultans in the 1300s. In these two, water holds pride of place. Water had both practical and ornamental value. For the Moors of the North African desert, water in an oasis could mean the difference between life and death. When incorporated into a garden, it was used sparingly, often in shallow pools or narrow canals, and in fountains to enhance the ambience and to give the illusion of more when there was less. Shelter for protection from the
relentless desert winds and enclosure to ensure privacy were equal and important elements of these gardens. Thus arose the patio or inner courtyard garden, open to the air above but removed from the street and bustle of the surrounding city. Within these gardens is a sense of geometry and repetition in the tiles, ornamentation and the planting. The plants (prominent are roses, oranges and myrtles) included not only those brought by the Moors but also the exotic beauty from the New World introduced by Spanish explorers. The Alhambra is a large palace and fortress complex with many buildings each with its own courtyard. The impact of the Patio de los Arrayanes (Courtyard of the Myrtles) is in the almost stark simplicity of the pool and plantings. The Patio de los Leones (Courtyard of the Lions) exemplifies the
concept of the Persian garden: an enclosed space divided into four quadrants (representing earth, air, water and fire) by water channels, symbolizing the Koranic holy rivers of paradise. At the centre, twelve lions spill water from their mouths. The nearby Generalife or “Architect’s Garden” was the summer palace and country estate of Muhammad III. In the inner courtyard is the Patio de la Acequia (Courtyard of the Canal), famous for its long narrow canal edged with potted plants with jets of water that arch over it on each side. Nearby, the Patio de los Cipreses (Courtyard of the Cypresses) contains islands of oleander floating in its water channels. Not to be missed is the water staircase or Escalera del Aqua. The Paseo de los Cipreses (Promenade of the Cypresses) with pencil-thin Italian cypress trees provides both shade and architec-
tural elements in a formal setting. The more recent Park Güell in Barcelona (northern Spain) was designed by Antoni Gaudi in the 1890s. Gaudi began on a rocky slope with little vegetation, building grand entrances, unobtrusive roadways and irrigation channels. His intent was to emphasize the intrinsic beauty of the site with his architectural design, colour and mosaic patterns. But where the gardens of Alhambra are all geometry, convention and symmetry, Park Güell is informal, imaginative and at times downright wacky with turrets, spires, dragons, benches and viaducts. The plant choices are wide ranging: you’ll find carob, oak, pine, olive, eucalyptus, acacia, pistachio, tamarisk, privet, and surprisingly, Acer negundo, our own Manitoba maple! The park was originally intended as a garden-like housing development for Barcelona’s affluent. But
the project eventually proved unsuccessful and was purchased by Barcelona in1922. Park Güell is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. Sara, author of the recently published Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo: A Photographic History, will be leading a garden tour to Spain this fall that includes these sites and many more.

CAMECO CARES CONCERT SERIES: BARENAKED LADIES
The Barenaked Ladies played a sold-out show in Saskatoon on July 30 in the Bessborough Gardens. More than 3,000 came out on the hot, summer night to hear the band’s classic hits and a range of covers. Cameco’s oneof-a-kind community event donated 100 per cent of the ticket proceeds, to the tune of $160,000, to the Royal University Hospital Foundation. Arla Gustafson, CEO of the hospital foundation, told The StarPhoenix the funds will go towards day-to-day patient care. 1. Jude Lynchuk and Melanie Lynchuk 2. Norma McIvor and Beth Davis 3.

The best eats at new food trucks in Saskatchewan DRIFT CYCLE ICE POPS
By Jenn Sharp There’s no denying it, summer in Saskatchewan rocks. One of the best parts is the proliferation of mobile food vendors on the streets of Regina and Saskatoon. The Queen City was ahead of the game last year and boasted more vendors than Saskatoon. The two cities have outdone themselves this year, though. New food trucks (and carts, bikes and trailers) are everywhere. The owners are really kicking it up a notch with gourmet treats, fresh locally sourced food and flavourful ethnic experiences. To find out where your favourite truck is, follow them on Twitter or check out @yqrfoodtrucks in Regina and @yxestreetfood in Saskatoon. Visit www.snackmap.com for live GPS tracking of Saskatoon’s food trucks. Read on for the 2014 round-up of Saskatchewan food trucks and let me know on Twitter @JennKSharp which ones are your favourite.
S A S K AT O O N
SCOUT MEX HALL A newcomer to the food truck scene, the burritos, $8, sell out every day. Fillings like yam, beets, and vegan walnut and lentil, make them anything but ordinary. Bonus: The guy working the day I visited was really cute. TRY: Spicy Diablo Chocolate Cookie. It’s easily the best $2 you’ll spend this summer. Ginger, cayenne and cinnamon are in the chewy cookie, that’s topped with sea salt. While your mouth says “yes, please” to the sweetness, a slow burn builds in the back of your throat from the cayenne.
Instead of the usual sugar-bomb and chemical laden popsicles, Sam Benesh’s ice pops consist of real fruit and a simple syrup made from organic cane syrup and water. She pedals around Saskatoon on her “icicle bicycle,” which came from the food truck capital of North America — Portland — setting up shop on street corners in Riversdale, Broadway and downtown. She makes the pops, with flavours like watermelon mint and chocolate sea salt, by hand every night. Benesh loves experimenting, too. Look for pops featuring beet or elderflower in the future. TRY: Salted Caramel Rhubarb or Banana Cardamom, $3.
TWITTER: @drifticepops
ACE BURGER The folks at Congress Beer House know how to make a damn good burger. The lunchtime lineups at their new truck, Ace Burger, can stretch around the block. TRY: Ace Style Burger, $7: Tomato, onion, arugula, siraracha, cheese and mayo, or the burger of the week.
TW ITTE R: @AceBu rgerYXE
F L AV O U R S O F I N D I A A mainstay at the Saskatoon Farmers’ Market, the palak chicken and samosas frequently sell out so get there early! The milky, sweet Indian chai here is the real thing. TRY: Shai Paneer, $9.95: Homemade cheese, cooked in ginger, garlic butter, cream and spices, served with naan bread, rice and salad (although the salad is nothing to write home about).
TWITTER: @ScoutFoodTruck
THRIVE JUICE CO.
Locally owned, and locally made, Thrive is Saskatoon’s first cold-pressed organic juice company. Juicing has become a big trend and Thrive is positioned to cash in — their juice costs upwards of $10 but is well worth the price when you consider how much fruit and veg is used to make a glass. TRY: Know Your Roots is chock full of beets (great for flushing out the liver), while Clean Greens is a chlorophyllfilled detoxifier, perfect after a big night out.

P R A I R I E D AW G C AT E R I N G
BEAK’S CHICKEN Chef Paul Rogers fries up delicious chicken out of this orange truck. Dipped in buttermilk, then in his house breading mixture, the chicken, from Pineview Farms, is served on its own or on top of waffles. TRY: Chicken and Waffles, $8: A soft waffle topped with the namesake chicken, homemade bacon jam and gravy. It all melds together for a sweet, salty and somewhat strange combo. Eat it quick because this sinful dish gets soggy fast.
The biggest diggity dawg in town, or so they claim. The dogs did in fact look generous and people came in a steady stream to get one of their own. Perhaps the most unique food truck, a huge hot dog graces the roof of the thing. Apparently it was converted from a prop used on a movie set. TRY: Obviously, a Hot Diggity Dawg, $4.50, is in order, or get a gouda-stuffed smokie for a more gourmet twist. The wraps, particularly the Chicken Ranch, $7, are great too. And don’t forget about their pickle on a stick.
FA C E B O O K : P r a i r i e Dawg Catering
N A C H O F I E S TA Owner Ken Chaplin sure knows nachos. The menu is full of options, from vegetarian to supreme, plus a daily special. All are chock full of toppings and cheese. He’s been operating the truck (technically a motorhome) for a few years now, mainly at festivals. This is the first year he’s set up shop at the Regina Farmers’ Market and so far, it’s been a success TRY: The daily special a few weeks back was Butter Chicken Naan’chos, $6: Pico, goat cheese, peppers and butter chicken on top of naan bread and nachos.
TWITTER: @beakschicken
E AT H E A LT H Y FOODS The organic grocery store on 12th Ave. has a little food cart set up at the Regina Farmers’ Market. Friendly staff sell a range of ethnic and Canadian dishes, like peanut curry, beef chili, chana masala and red lentil dahl. They also sell kombucha tea and coconut water. TRY: The hearty Bison Stew.
S O U P… S I M P LY Shelly Lambert’s soup is a Regina Farmers’ Market favourite and frequently sells out, so of course, a food truck was in order to share the wealth. Along with homemade soups, $5, like chilled cucumber, and tomato, squash and coconut bisque, there’s also a few summer salads. Soup is served with sourdough or birdseed bread from Orange Boot Bakery in Regina. TRY: The dill pickle is mind-blowingly good; so good in fact that a picture wasn’t possible — it was gone too fast. The Rainbow Quinoa salad, $4 for a small, $7 for medium, is perfect for a hot day.
TWITTER: @SoupSimply
MR. SPUDDS POUTINERIE The poutine here, all 35 varieties, is quickly becoming the stuff of legends at one of Regina’s newest food trucks. Indulge in classic squeaky-curd-topped fries, or venture into more unusual flavours. In any case, the fries are perfectly crispy and the flavours are tasty. Burgers, chicken strips and fish ‘n chips are also on the menu TRY: Caramelized Pineapple Poutine, $8. Pineapple is far from a traditional poutine topping, but it sure tastes good

Why it’s worth your time to chase old wine
By James Romanow Last December a new wine from Spain came in to the SLGA called Anciano. I was working on my holiday columns so I noted it for work in January. I ran into the wine at parties over the holidays, anytime I ran into hard-core wine drinkers. Near as I could tell, the bargain hunting winos of the province – a group of people after my own heart – descended on the SLGA like wolves on the fold. Anciano was sold out by the second week of January and stayed that way until now. I don’t keep a wine cellar. They only work for people who intend to drink just a handful of wines, from excellent vintages. Such wines are only subtly different and tend to taste the same. In short, a cellar is like trapping a fly in amber. I suffer from vinous ADD and need new and different tastes to be happy. I want a whole planet of flies on which to feast. The problem with this is that I don’t get to drink many old wines, and old wines have particular charms. These days Californian tastes rule the world. California is a place that believes anything past puberty is not worth your time. Fortunately for me, I’m not alone. The Spanish too love old wine and are addicted to releasing wines that have been barrelled and cellared forever. If you want to find out why people like me
chase old wine you need to buy a bottle of Anciano. Mouth filling, tasting of fruit, this is a first rate wine to savour. Get a couple of friends to bring by a Crianza and Reserva Rioja and compare it. Anciano, Tempranillo, Spain, 2004. $15.99 **** More wines, cocktails and beers on Twitter @drbooze.
