Christian Ries, an amateur yachtsman and wine expert, noticed on a recent trip to the West Indies that the wine he took with him had matured much faster and better than normal. An is building a sailing ship for unusu- d al voyages made solely to mature wine. The ship will in fact be a floating wine cellar. The long ship will make two trips annually, carrying 300 barrels of wine in the hold on each trip. It will be named Bandol after the region near here. THE BANDOL WILL make its maiden voyage next year, sailing through the Mediterranean, Suez Canal, Indian Ocean, and across the Pacific to San Francisco, where it will sell its wine. The idea is to take advantage of a custom started in the 17th century, when wine growers discovered that wine matured much faster on a around-the-worl- Lightweight aluminum Interlocking, all ly Nicole Agence France-Press- three-maste- FINANCING AVAILABLE For free estimate and additional Information. ...

Since your- - granddaughter was bom in 1969, which was a great year for the red wines of Burgundy, we suggest you purchase one of those fine Burgundies from that year, such as a Richebourg, a La Tache, a Musigny or a Chambertin. These wines are quite expensive, but they are also among the finest wines in the world. They are ready to drink now, but if properly stored in a cool, dark, quiet place, they should be sound in 1985. An alternative to the 1969 Burgundy would be a 1974 Cabernet Sauvignon from California. Many of the better ones, such as Robert Mondavi and Heitz Cellars are now available, and those wines should be nicely matured in 1985. Still a third possibility would be a 1975 red Bordeaux, possibly the best vintage of the decade in that region of France. I understand Thomas Jefferson, one of this nations founding fathers, was a great lover of wine. Could you elucidate? L.N., Detroit A. Thomas Jefferson was an advocate of the use of wine in America, and he stocked his own cellars with some of the best French Bordeaux of his time; he was especially partial to Chateau Lafite. Much of his interest in wine developed during his term as a minister to France, and when he became president, he spent more than $10,000 in two terms purchasing wine for use by the White House. When Congress decided to reduce the tax on wine rather than increase it, he wrote, I rejoice as a moralist at the prospect of a reduction of the duties on No wine by our national legislature. nation is drunken where wine is cheap . . . and none sober where the dearness of wine substitutes ardent spirits as the common beverage. I think it is an error to consider a heavy tax on wine as a tax on luxury. On the contrary, it is a tax on the health of our citizens. FEB. 19 Things Straight 726 Adverse Good Avon, Conn.

POLLAN JM will The best wines come from the great chateaux, such as Latour and Mouton Rothschild, but there are several other good chateaux as well. You might consult your wine merchant for his suggestion. Q. On a recent trip to Italy, we tasted a Marsala wine, which seemed more like a liqueur than a wine. Could you tell me something about this wine? J.T., Fort Wayne, Ind. A. Marsala is indeed a wine, although it is sweet and heavy. Made in Sicily and fortified with brandy, it has been famous since the days of the Napoleonic Wars when Lord Nelson fortified the Royal Navy with it. The wine is first fermented, then brandy is added, then sugar is added, and the resulting liquid is allowed to blend in the bottle. Some Marsalas have special flavorings added to them as well, the most popular being almond and orange. 135-fo- ot wine-growin- g d e WAS THIS PHENOMENON known in the 17th century, he said. The best Medoc wine was put in barrels, loaded into their holds as ballast, and then taken out and drunk with much appreciation afterward. Wine will mature in four months at sea as much as it would do in two years in a cellar on land. And much better. The Bandol will return via the Panama Canal and the Atlantic Ocean. HH |
