The VINTAGE-The vintage is now in full
progress at Los Angeles, and from information
received from those engaged in it, we expect
that the wine produced this year, will be
much superior to any hitherto made. Great
care, is taken in every department of the man
ufacture, and the experience of former years
suggests changes and improvements in its
treatment As the grape market in San Fran
cisco and the north has fallen Off the quanti-
ty of fruit turned into wine will be greater
this year than formerly There will not, We
believe, be so many small operators The
greas houses have generally purchased the
crop of the growers, and the wine manufac
ture will be less general, but probably more
carefully attended to Among the large
manufactures we notice Mr. Keller in whose
large cellars between 10000 and 5000 gal
Ions are already slowed away Frohling
Kohler IL Co. are manufacturing extensively
