MAGE TO GOOD LIFE
BY JOHN SHERWOOD
Star Staff Writer


A housing development in
the Middle West once adver-
tised its split-levels with fallout
shelters ready for bottled
water, timed K-rations and
machine guns. Sales, however.
were disappointing.
So one day when the sky
cleared and the future looked
brighter, the wise developers
substituted wine cellars" for
"fallout shelters" Sales
zoomed.
Robert D. Benson, 81, has
one Of these ideal fallout shell
ters in the basement of his
Chevy Chase home. His "li-
brary of wine," as he calls it,
numbers 800 bottles of the
finest vintages.
The enjoyment of these
wines is usually shared in a
ritual dedicated to the art of
living. Visitors are first greeted
in his green study. Surrounded
by the tapestry Of an English
rural scene and seated in a
heavy leather chair, one first
enjoys some 50-year-old Salig-
nae cognac and coffee and
perhaps a fine Upmann Ha-
vana cigar.
Then Mr.. Benson with his
wife, Jerry, will disappear into
the basement and prepare the
wine room for an evening of
ine-tatsting, of listening to
good music over a 24-speaker
stereo system and of paying
proper homage to the art of
living.

Chevy Chase Home Features Old Wine Room

teau ute-Brion." says Mr..
Benson, you must have good
company and those who will
appreciate the taste of rare
wine"
A member of the French
Wine Academy at Bordeaux. he
says that good wine goes with
good books and music and that
everyone can maintain some
sort of wine room in the cellar
or even in a closet.
An important point is that
wine, "a living thing whose
personality natures as it ages, u
should be stored on its side or
on an angle to keep the cork
moist. If air gets in, the wine
soon deteriorates.
The temperature of a wine
room should be between so and
70 degrees Fahrenheit. And the
wine should be stored in an
area where it will not be dis
turbed.
ANY good wine merchant
can start you out with some
estate-bottled red and white
Bordeaux and Burgundy, some
Rhine and Moselle and sherry,
port and Madeira" says Mr.
Benson.
He calls his private wine
room in the basement of his
home at 3506 Manor road "an
investment in pleasure. Some
of his wine he would not sell at
any price and other vintages
may never be opened during
his lifetime because they will
not reach maturity for many
more years. This wine will be
passed on to his children.
