Good Quality Domestic Wine
by the Chef

Choice by the trial-and-error sys-
tenn will not prove too costly. For
those who like to drink a light
wine of the vim ordinaire type
with their dinners, there are
wines that may be bought by the
gallon for surprisingly low figures.
From then on up, wines for spe-
cial occasions may be had, at
varying prices and will. after a
little experimentings prove ade-
quate for any dinner party.
In Europe, in the old days,
when certain vintage wines were
as delicate and rare as jewels,
certain types Of glasses were used
to catch their bouquet. enrich
their color, etc. Certainly we
havesno wines Of that class here
as yet. Any plain crystal glass,
preferably stemmed, and not toe
thick, will answer the purpose
Wines should not be too cold
champagne must be the cold
est, and even that should not be
so iced that the flavor is lost
The average refrigerator will chill
white wines and the pale rose
wines just about right. The rich
er red wines of the burgundy
and claret types, as well as chi
anti and vim ordinaire, must al
ways be served at room tempera-
ture. Except-and here is an
important exception-in parts OF
this country where room tenn
perature is really hot and humid
Then the wines should be set
in the least cold compartment OF
the icebox, or kept in the cellar
until serving time. =
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1949-11-14

Although America Is becoming
more and more properly wine
conscious, there are still a great
many people who feel that they
are too ignorant Of the correct
service for wines, and OF how to
choose good wines, to attempt
using them in their homes. I'm
fortunately, a great many restau-
rants capitalize on this timidity
and. instead of being helpful to
the diner who would like to try
to gain some knowledge OF wines
when he is dining out, give him
the completely wrong steer-at an
exhorbitant price.
A young man told me this sad
story of what had befallen him In
a restaurant. He is a Swiss, ne
has been brought up abroad, and
his father was the owner OF a very
substantial wine cellar, of no
small fame. He took a party OF
guests to dine at a supposedly
very good French restaurant. On
the wine card there were a few
precious bottles of apparently
authentic Rhine wine listed at a
large price. In good faith, he
ordered a bottle.
But when it arrived the bottle
was opened-something never to
be tolerated in any restaurant. 1t
was not chilled. \ When the first
sip was taken, it proved to be
absolutely undrinkable-not from
age, or spoilage, but because 1t
was not the kind of wine at all.
The young host protested, but
the waiter told him that it was
good wine. He sent for the prop
rietor and invited him to have a
glass of wine with him. When
he finished the glass the proprie-
tors expression was a study.
Needless to say, the wine was not
charged for.
This serves to illustrate what
I mean by saying that the dining
public who wishes to learn about
wines is up against lack Of CO.
operation.
There are so many good domes-
tic wines being produced that
no hotel or restaurant should fee
obliged to promote q poor i'm
ported wine over and above 9
product from our own vineyards
Granted that some Of our wines
are better than others, they are
for the most part, inexpensive

two children by a Woodward Sta

ported by the widow as being

Mrs. Mack claims that she was

The local branch NAACP, ac-

be instructed to stop these brutal
practices and dismiss the police
officer in question.
Mrs. Mack earlier in the week
