The California Grnne Crop.

The San Francisco Bulletin SAYS: This
year promises an extra abundant grape
crop, and, from all previous results in Cali
iornIa, when such is the case, the wines
are OF superior quality. In 1866 and
1868 the vines bore luxuriously, and the
wine was light and of a very high class
Many of the foothills and places whore
mining was formerly carried on are now,
for the most part, largely planted with
vines, therefore it is expected that the
quantity OF wine produced this year will
be almost double that of last season. Nest
OF the wine was also consumed in the quar-
ters where 1t was grown, bat latterly it Is
beng transported to San Francisco. The
amount of fruit to the vines will probably
not be as large as in 1868, but this defc-
ieney will be made up by the new vines
coming into bearing. The eastern market
for California wines is also gradually
increasing. There they require pure wine,
and know that they can obtain it from the
Pacific slope, consequently the prices are
such as to repay both the dealer and the
wine grower. The demand for the higher
wines comes almost altogether from the
East, for there they reject the inferior
qualities, and are willing to pay good
price for the better article. As the grapes
ali Ilpeu III OdlllOEnld, Iue Cost OF Ine pro-
duetion Of a good and inferior wine is
equal. There is also great demand for
port wines and elarets made from foreign
grapes. Much of the latter is used as imi-
tatiOn Burgundy. There appears to be a
scarcity of two-year old port wines at
present. Last year more than half of the
ehampagnes were shipped East, over 5000
cases being manufactured by Landsberger
q Co. This year the firm expects to turn
out as much as 10000 cases. Last month
the shipments were 500 cases Of champagne
and 800 of still wines.
