From The san Francisco Examiner.
The wine crop this year will be small and gem
orally speaking. inferior in quality to that OF last
The crop OF the State Is estimated at l2500.I0
gallons ~ which 10000 c0 gallons is dry and 100000
sweet. Drouth and periods OF great heat are re-
spOnsibe for this condition OF affairs. The amount
OF grapes fell below the normal and a rule the
dry wine made previous TO the first rain In october
fermcnted badly After the downpour and the
swelling Of the berries the fermentation was per-
feet The result IS that about one-thrd OF the wine
OF 1894 is only medium, while the other two-thrds
is good but not up to the standard of 1893 Sweet
wines. however. are In good condition.
Last years crop I'm first hands was estimated
