Show i PINE bine 1 NE KANYO TOOELE VALLEY n I 1 feb 1860 cifor janews ia in his last communication bro bonnelli of st thomas at last that thab thattie the adjacent salt lake are susceptible of excellent light mines tomes it appears in iti that case that the question is now solved for it was the only on y position th albro aubro bertrand had ittem attempted ted to establish in his first correspond corre correspondence spon ence concerning bro bonnellie Bon non nellis articles on the grape culture in utah in which the latter seemed to believe belleve that the south could alone and exclusively produce good wines now bro bonelli tries again to misplace the tho questions question he lib affirms afresh that his bis omission of the burgundy wines in his nomenclature odthe loathe best brands in the world has been the only cause of the ahola discussion but I 1 isay say bay again here as everyone can ascertain that the burgundy wines have been introduced into the contest as a an illustration in behalf of bro ber brands position which may be thus recapitulated we lve can produce on oh the shores of salt zake lake and mah utah lake wines as good even superior to those which you can raise in the south as for instance the celebrated burgundy wines that vou you have neglected ta mention etc etc true the question guestion thus misplaced allows to the son bon of helvetia a few jokes Joke sion spon on the sons jow of Gaul aubut but it is in noi waise v ase fairplay air method lay and besides it is an unerring e to perpetuate a discussion without ever solving sol soi it again bro seems seema to believe belleve t that I 1 intended to injure the grape giace culture in the south or at least ne he asserts that my letter might possibly without my iny knowledge cause this result and he takes advantage of it to administer to me a fatherly reprimand which might he be apropos under some circumstance but hut certainly not in his article bro Bonlie llis assertion is incorrect when he be says that the term better meals mears what is ered by the taste the word better letter means what is capable of producing more good what Is ered by fhe the taste is to be named pleasant now it may be very pleasant for certa tairi taini lii iii individuals d divi hv 14 duals a s to get a drink which tickles t the p palate a I 1 a t e and which is strongly cinq tinctured t ur ed wit with 4 alcohol but we do not believe that such a beverage bev frage prage though preferred by their taste is the best but I 1 will stop here I 1 do not intend to discourage any of our southern brethren by interfering in this polemic my aim has been the same aa as that tra t ofero of bro bertrand namely to encourage the grape culture in our oun midst but specially on the benches surrounding salt lake city if by our articles we have persuade persuaded a few northern amateurs or professional men to engage in that rich branch of industry we shall be satis ats s nned fled I 1 have been so highly favored as to get a the johannesberg wine while residing in paris a friend alfriend of mine minere received a few bottles from prince metternich himself and I 1 was presented with one by my friend this wine is superior to any brand I 1 1 have ever tasted but bat the thu vineyard producing this incomparable wine is enclosed with a wall ten feet high and is thus protected against every ciery every inclemency of the weather and atmospheric variations can not draw from it any conclusion against vines which are cultivated in open fields in all cages cases this example strongly sustains our position because the johannesberg castle castie is located near mayence and at more than one hundred and nifty fifty nty miles north of burgundy it isa is a new evidence that the very best wines vines are raised in the north of the grape krape producing i g countries besides I 1 16 affirm that it contains a far less quan city of alcohol than the southern wines february 1869 I 1 have just glanced over a very length ty correspondence of br er hemenway a distinguished horticulturist of saint george this new champion has taken his pen to war against the unlucky frenchmen and their wines in pat Oat attempting tempting to reply to him I 1 will be short and will confine myself to a few remarks marks ie without quoting any french or dr american report or or any other chemist of the the past or present br hemenway fully I 1 agrees with br bertrand and br bonnelli that the th e grape can be successfully cultivated in most of the settlements north and south of sait bait lake city and that excellent 1 wines can be made 0 in large quantities at af moderate prices A most happy confession indeed we have always said fild sald so then he affirms that the elih south can produce lie lle stavy ivy and light twines wines at will be it so butt but it is is per I 1 fda tru that our dixie wines will wiil be ve heavy and alcoholic in spite of his denial dental dear brother do you not perceive that you admit this yourself when you assert that the most saccharine grape cultivated in the north would only produce light wine hence it follows as a natural consequence that the least saccharine grape being cultivated in the south will acquire much sugar under its climate climacteric ric influence and ac cordin ohof fe to our affirmation will give glee t an alcoholic ic wine being supported and illustrated by fifteen centuries of successful experiments in europe can our position posit ibn be invalidated by our dixie grape where this industry is still in its infancy by the authority of the committee appointed by the united states commission at the exposition of paris bro hemenway denies denied the bouquet and ana aroma to tile the burgundy wines and if they possess any it can only be dl distinguished by french preach palates which are early trained te to like what is negative if the above remarks mean that american palates being not endowed with the faculty of discerning what is pure and delicate deny its existence as an slight deafness is insensible to tunes played softly and is only capable of minding noisy accents yet in spite of the above appreciations these mean wines command ten dollars a gallon and in order to prove that your southern localities are endowed with every very qualification for producing good wines you liken your soil to the soils where these wines without flavor are raised and having found that they are exactly alike you yon draw the very logical conclusion that you will vill make a superior wine it is i s perfectly true that it is very difficult to comprehend how your youn ideas can unite but negative palates very likely belong to negative brains hence bogle is a thing altogether unnecessary it is with the same profound sagacity aad with the same gentlemanly convenience ven veni lence ence and logic that the of bt st george has haz introduced the velici ve loci into this complex question may he learn how to poise on his own but after all we entertain a high consideration for our out I 1 dixie I 1 wines vines of which it has been our happy lotto lot to have a taste and which we would gladly adopt for our usual beverage even if we were wore condemned never to drink anything better I 1 yours very respectfully P A droubay I 1 g P being the translator of the second e cona epistle of your youn pine kanyon correspondent I 1 will merely merel say that it has been literally y translate trans translated lata latU our southern opponents can oan c an now perceive that the french velici e ders of the north are both still alive
