all proceeded to a private dining
room at the New Athens Restau-
rant, where their hostess, Greek
born Deena Clark, had arranged

leaves stuffed with rice. Then they
had shiSkebab-chunkS of sea-
Soned lamb. tomatoes and onions
roasted on a skewer, and with the
shiskebab, artichokes cooked the
way they serve them in Athens,
i.e., with lamb and highly sea-
soned with oregano. The dessert
was Baklava-layers of sweet
paper-thin pastry. Turkish coffee,
which is the kind they drink in
Athens. finished off the meal.
The wine, however, was French
and chosen by Mr.. Clark who was
made a chevalier de tastevin
(winetaster) three summers ago
when they were in the town of
Clos Vougeot, Burgundy, France.
The 200-year-old organization
staged a ceremony, taps it's new
members on the shoulder with a
gnarled and ancient grape vine
root and presents each new cheva-
lier with their emblem, a silver
winetasting cup, which is worn on
a ribbon around the neck. AS a

also so honored at the time but
hesitates to call attention to it.
The reason may be detected in her
husbands subsequent remark.

the difference between red and
white wine" Winetasters, of

to name not only any wine, but
the vintage.
