making raisins equal to those of malaga and in manufacturing excellent wine as alcoholic as sherry but hutc with tho the most scientific they will never neter produce anything approaching in the least de gree gre eany any of the aforesaid burgundy wines wh why simply because the clima cilma climate teof of their lomy locality is too warm again my antagonist says in your paper of september 2nd and brother bertrand bertrand says itis a fact indubitable that mr Mir non Bon bonnelli nelll mr W E dodge of st george and several other grapo grape cultivators tiva tors to in our dixie will soon succeed to in manufacturing a large quantity of wines equal and perhaps superior to the tho best brana brands of maderia malaga Tenne tennen Tenner inne ifie sherry etc but I 1 say again nothing which

american exhibitors of the exposition your correspondent triumphantly exclaims from the tho above quotations ye we find that the peerless aroma of the tho burgundy wines is fully appreciated onik only by tho the french palate trained to th like t that at only which is negative also that the tho first class brands of burgundy are by their unsurpassed aroma tho the very best light wines in france but
