L In case you hadn’t heard, the post-pubes
] cents known professionally as New Kids On
The Block were interrupted on their Austra
lian tour by allegations from a former em
y ployee that the Kids both lip-synched in
concert and failed to sing the actual lead
vocals on their albums. In retaliation, they
went on the “Arsenio Hall Show” and deliv
y ered a firebrand performance, complete with
an “extemporaneous” song request.
At the end of the night, the nation’s
y doubting Thomases agreed: all the atro
cious singing on the albums, “Hangin’ Tough”
and “Step By Step,” is 100 percent New
Kids’fault.
y • In depressing band-breakup news: Ac
cording to Much Music, rock preservation
ists Living Colour and the Black Crowes
y announced certain members would indeed
be permanently leaving the groups. Crowes
guitarist Jeff Cease and Colour bassist Muzz
Skillings arc leaving to pursue other musi
y cal avenues. No definite plans were slated
for permanent replacements, but rumor has
it the boys will be joining forces with David
L Navarro of the now-defunct Jane’s Addic
T lion to record an album of Replacements*
covers.
Sorry —just wishful thinking_
y • According to Casey’s Top 40, when
“Diamonds and Pearls” hit No. 1 on the
singles charts, Prince became the first artist
L to score top 10 hits every year for the past 10
l-1 _
years. The news prompted college students
to rummage through their old music collec
tion and discover that, yes, they indeed
bought the 45, “I Would Die 4 U.”
That’s the news. And I am outta here.

Wine
Continued from Page 9
it and lay the cork on the table. As a
waiter, I have seen people do strange
things at this point, including one
gentleman who actually took to bit
ing the cork. Don’t do that, you will
look very silly and your date will
probably think you’ve been inhaling
glue.
Contrary' to what most people think,
sniffing the cork serves no purpose. A
cork smells like a cork.
If you really want to mess with
one, a cork can be squeezed to make
sure it is not too hard. A cork that
feels like a slab of granite most likely
is fine, but it may be a sign of im
proper scaling or storing. A cork should
be firm yet give a lilUc when squeezed.
Also, mold is often an indication of a
turned bottle. If there’s just a bit of
fungus on the top of the cork don’t
worry too much, but if more than half
of it is furry, the wine may have been
exposed to the air. Be extra careful
when tasting these wines.
Most servers won’t wait for you to
play with the cork at all, but will
immediately pour a small amount into
your glass. This is the part that usu
ally upsets people the most — the
examination of the wine.
First, pick up the glass by the stem
and till it toward the light, preferably
with something white in the back
ground (1 ike a tablcc loth). 1 f you look
carefully, you might notice a thin,
clear band around the glass on the
wine’s surface. This “halo” should
be completely clear, even with red
wines. If it’s yellow or brown the
wine may be bad. Don’t worry about
this step much until you become good
at it — it lakes practice.
Next, rotate the glass gently. Swirl
ing the wine in this manner will break
up its molecules and expose more of
it to the air, helping release its fra
grances. Lift the glass and take a
couple good sniffs. With this step you
should not be attempting to notice the
wine’s subtle aromatic nuances; that
comes later. Instead, you should be
looking for an overly pungent odor of
vinegar or sulfur, further indications
of a bad bottle. Be careful when ap
plying this step to Cabernet Sauvi
gnons and other rich reds, which arc
heady by nature.
Having sniffed the wine, raise the
glass to your lips. Take in about a
tablespoon and slowly swirl it around.
If you arc coordinated enough to do
so without spilling, draw in some air
through your mouth as you move the
wine around. Tastes to watch out for
are sulfur and vinegar, excessively
sour, moldy or earthy flavors. If a
wine has turned, you’ll know.
The main thing to remember is
that you’re not trying to decide whether
you like the wine, but if it has turned.
If you order a bottle that’s not spoiled
and you don’t care for it, tough cook
ies. If you order a bottle that’s turned,
tell the server to get you a new one.
And don’t be shy. In most cases,
restaurant owners get full compensa
tion for every bottle they return to the
vineyard.
Also, don’t overdo it. Modern
bottling techniques rarely permit
spoilage, especially with finer wines.
A bad bottle is a rarity.
If these steps still seem daunting
and you would rather not deal with
them at all, you could do one more
thing to circumvent the process with
out looking like a boob. After the
bottle has been presented and opened,
as the first sip is being poured, just
say to the server, “Oh, I’m sure it’s
fine.”
Say that confidently and people
will think you know what you’re doing.
Of course, on the off-chance the wine
turns out to be spoiled, you’ll be even
more embarrassed to tell the server.
That’s all there is to tasting wine at
the table. So, until you next drink of
wine, let no storm cloud your vines.

Final
Continued from Page 9
(several limes) with a dumbbell, and
. . . well, from there it gets pretty
weird.
Directed by Phil Joanou (“Sea Of
Love”), this movie has something for
almost everyone. It has suspense,
adventure, romance and (surprisingly
enough) more humor than one might
expect from the previews and publ ic
ily it’s been getting.
The main problem with “Final
Analysis” is that it drags in several
spots. However, once plot twists and
turns hit, the viewer will be in for
quite a ride.
Gere does well as Barr, but we
don’t get to see any real variety of
emotions from his character. Basin
ger also does very well in this movie,
showing us a broader range of acting
abilities than she has shown us in the
past.
Roberts’ appearance was superb.
His portrayal of the manipulative.
foul-mouthed Jimmy was excellent.
He attacks this role like he wants
every member of the audience to hate
him, and he succeeds beautifully.
The best performance, however, is
Uma Thurman’s. Her portrayal of the
psychologically traumatized Diana was
terrific. She sways back and forth
between opposite ends of the emo
tional spectrum with ease.
Despite its run-to-the-snack-bar
moments, “Final Analysis” is a good
movie—good enough to see before it
comes out on video.
