j. Rose, B. d. Wilson and L. Sanse-
vaine commenced regular and large
shipments of wines and brandy to New
York and Boston.
AT the same time the Anaheim set
tlement began to manufacture wine in
moderate quantities. The pioneers of
Anaheim were A. Langenberger, b.

F. A. Kern, Theo. Reiser, +. Hartung,
w. Koenig, fl. Werder, John Fischer, j.
T. Zeyn, b. Hammell, c. f. Schulz, M.
Kuchel, r. Litke and numerous others,
who simultaneously commenced man
ufacturing from their vineyards, then
only three years old.
At Anaheim
The growth of the vineyards of Ana
helm and the wine and brandy shipped
from this time forward rapidly became
an increasing quantity. The planting
of vines proceeded without interruption
except during the depression of the
wine industry in 1876 1877 and 1875
In 1879 the largest grape grower in
Anaheim was b. Dreyfus, who had
10000 vines. a. Langenberger was next
with $4,000 vines; r. Kruger had IS, 5000;
100000 and twenty-five other vineyards
from 5000 to $4,000 each. Within the
boundaries and suburbs of Anaheim,
which was at that time a portion of
Los Angeles county, there We're ia 900
vines and preparations were making for
planting 400, 900 more.
Taking that year as basis there
was at that time in Los Angeles county
5,172,000 vines, with an enormous num-
Der being planted and taking no ac-
count of innumerable private vine
yards. 1t was the year which was
signalized by extensive planting all
over the southern counties. In 1879
Mr. l.. j. Rose OF the Sunny Slope
winery purchased the grapes of log
vineyards, and, in his immense estab-
lishment, manufactured 100000 pounds
of grapes into wine and brandy. This
meant 100000 gallons of wine and Az
900 gallons of brandy Besides this
enormous output of his own, he pur-
chased 1900 gallons of wine from
small winners.
These We're gala days for our vine
yardists, but "a cloud was impending
which, at first no larger than a mans
hand soon overspread the whole WITH
cultural heavens. The storm burst over
Anaheim and swept the vineyards to
ennihilation. The prosperity of that
place is now dependent on other lines.
The dread phylloxera did its work COM
pietely and well. Sunny Slope and
hundred other vineyards shared the
same fate. AS a result, the wine and
brandy making of Los Angeles have
shrunk nightly. Capital sought other
channels. In Sonoma and Napa and
other northern Counties they fought
the phylloxera and Won as we could
have done here.
But the orange and lemon have
proved more profitable. Most profitable
has been the cutting up of the vine-
yards into city lots, to accommodate
the hordes who have poured into Los
Angeles. city and county. We have
nerons and vineyardists who are seeing
to 1t that tn eold-time viticultural glory
of Los Angeles shall not altogether de-
part from this fair land.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-01-28

The first appearance of the phylloxera
in California was in Sonoma and Napa
counties. 1t was ten or twelve years
in getting down to Los Angeles, but
when it got here it did a work of havoc
on a wholesale scale, sweeping sucn
vineyards as Sunny Slope as with the
bosom of destruction. Equal havoc was
wrought with the raisin grape around
Anaheim, Santa Ana and elsewhere.
In another portion of this article I
have mentioned the fact that Jean
Louis Vignes planted his first vine
yard in 1880. William Wolfskill, John
Vince Hoover and the elan Marie
Vignes, before named, in 1S49, 1850 and
1851 commenced the manufacture on an
extensive scale of white wine and
brandy for shipment abroad. Hereto
fore the product of our vineyards had
been consumed at home. In 1858 the
we'll known Jean Louis Sansevaine
commenced the manufacture of wine
for shipment. In 1856 he shipped only
to San Francisco, but in 1856 he made
the first shipment of Los Angeles wine
to New York In 1857 the shipment
from this city amounted to 100000 gall
Ions. In 1859 the wine producers were

sevaine Brothers, Kohler & Froehling,

and aguadiente for sale and for home
consumption. The first pipe of wine
ever sent out of California was shipped
to the king of Spain in 1882, which was
received in good order and for which
that monarch duly returned his thanks.
At the last Paris exposition the judges
OF wines pronounced the California red
wines purer than the French and our
sweet wines purer than those from
Portugal and Spain.
Much Romance
Much of the romantic clusters around
the early cultivation of the vine in
California and many a goblet of the
blushing nectar has been tossed off at
the witching hour by the holy men of
the church in times which tried mems
souls. 1t was in 1870 that the Francis
cans who landed at San Diego, first set
out a small patch of a so-called
Valdi Penas grape, and in IVA these
holy fathers had pipes of piquant in
spiration in their mission cellars. They
did the same thing shortly afterward
at San Luis Rey Santa Margarita, San
Gabriel, Los Angeles, San Fernando,
San Buenaventura, Santa Barbara. San
Luis Obispo, Santa Ynez. San Miguel
and Monterey. Several of these vine
yards are alive and as vigorous bearers
as ever. At San Gabriel Los Angeles

number Of Spanish districts; port and
sherry grapes from cuttings from Por-
tugal and Madeira, and brandy grapes
from the most celebrated cognac varie-
ties, such as Folle Blanc and Columbian.
All of these have been on trial from
thirty to forty-five years, and the state
ment that some of the juices therefrom
are becoming acceptable, if not famous,
is corroborated by the fact that Cali
fornia annually exports from six to ten
millions of gallons, and that her own
people drink twice as much more.
Thirty years ago Los Angeles county
was a vastly greater wine producer
than she is now. The falling off is
owing to the enormous absorption of
country realty for homes. Rapidly
growing cities now stand on lands
where the orange and the vine once
stood, and to the ravages Of the phyl-
loXera, which devastated great spreads
of this and adjoining counties. This
fell destroyer was heard of first in
France, where it destroyed fully half
of the vineyards of that country. 1t
is curious fact that the French vine
yardists rehabilitated their vines from
the wild grape of California. This
hardy vine grew in great abundance in
the Wilson and other canyons of the
San Gabriel valley and generally all
over the state.
