From Hollywood
Richard Roundtree is on his way to Pretoria, South
Africa, to do Games for Vulture with Ray Milland,
Joan Collins and Richard Harris. I wish him luck.
He’ll need it. Richard’s history of dating white women
is well known in this world’s most segregated country.
That he is even entering this land of fanatics is of deep
concern to many of his friends.
Sheila Frazier has just completed her co-starring
role in Neil Simon’s latest picture, California Suite,
along with Richard Pryor, Bill Cosby, Jane Fonda,
Walter Matthau, Elaine May, Alan Alda, Maggie
Smith and Michael Caine. Now she’ll have time to
continue her red-hot romance with CBS Records
executive Vaughn Thomas. It’s denied, but insiders ex
pect a wedding soon.
Norman Connors has dry docked his starship for a
minute so he can pursue his crush on Good Times'
BerNadette Stanis.

There was another of those famous Hollywood
socialite party s the other night at the Holmby Hills
estate of Eula McClaney. This one was for her. In case
you don’t know Eula, she came west from Alabama
with two baby girls and a sixth grade education and
proceeded to strike it rich to the tune of millions of
dollars in exclusive Beverly Hills and Hollywood real
estate. Her “baby” daughters, Bernastine McClaney
and LaDoris McClaney Smith gave her the party, a
well-deserved tribute to mama. Mayor Tom Bradley
sealed it with a kiss. Wiz star Mabel King tottered on
the edge of Eula’s Olympic size swimming pool as the
poolside celebrities fled the expected splash. Regaining
her balance, Mabel warned, “Just don’t bring me no
bad news.”
Today’s quiz. How many husky, hunky guys does it
take to move a cocktail table? If it belongs to Linda
Hopkins and it's 8/2 feet long, it takes nine of them
sweating, straining and twisting three hours up three
flights of stairs. Celebrating completion over cocktails
(on the table) the nine crewmen discovered that each
was a regular date and admirer of the personable and
charming singer.
Pounds are in the news again. The kind people put
on and take off. Ricky Sylvers of the Sylvers family
was told to add a few pounds by his doctor, to keep in
good health. Jessie Smith and Pat Hodges of Hodges,
James and Smith were told to take them off before
taking the act to Europe. They’re at a professional spa
working it off. The trio burned and cooked so heavy
on their last European tour, they have standing offers
from several clubs to play year round.

How to choose a wine
See, swirl, sniff,
savor and swallow
By Herbert P. Douglas, Jr.
Vice President
Schieffelin & Co.
PARTI
Ordering a bottle of wine in
a restaurant can be an
unnerving experience. With a
waiter or wine steward
standing at your elbow, and
friends, date, or spouse looking
on, you may settle for the
second least expensive bottle
(people tend to avoid the
lowest price), hoping for the
best, and harly giving the
bottle a glance when the waiter
brings it for your inspection.
You may also wonder what
in the world you are supposed
to do with the cork if the
waiter hands it to you. You
may also gulp the sample he
pours in your glass, and
whatever the wine tastes like,
you tell him it’s great because
you don’t know how it’s
supposed to taste.
If this is you, then you’re
perfectly normal. Almost
everyone goes through this
experience. Most Americans,
after all, did not grow up with
wine as a staple of the dinner
table as people in many
European and Latin American
countries have.
NATIONAL PHENOMENON
But wine is becoming a
national phenomenon. From
my travels around the country,
I see a great interest in wines
developing. And the statistics
on wine sales reflect this
growing interest. Wine
consumption in the United
States rose from 163 million
gallons in 1960 to 399 million
gallons in 1977, according to
the wine industry publication,
IMPACT. By 1985, the total is
expected to almost double to
7J7 million gallons a year. You
will probably be drinking your
share.
And until you attain the
knowledge that consumption
implies, there is an alternative

to guessing about wines. The
waiter who may seem
intimidating, and the wine and
spirits merchant who seems to
be a forbidding presence
behind his store counter, can
be helpful allies if you will just
admit your temporary
ignorance and ask for their
help. And don’t be afraid to let
them know your budget.
Before you begin,
however, take the time to learn
a few of the most basic facts
about wines, remembering that
learning about wines is a
lifetime pleasure.
To begin your crash course,
there are just two official
colors of wine -- red and white.
Rose is really a light red. Red
wines get their color from the
skins of the grapes, which are
left in the juice throughout
fermentation. When making
white wines, the skins are
removed before fermation
begins.
SPECTRUM OF SHADES
Simple enough? Well, maybe
not quite that simple. Because
of the difference in sugar
content, white wines can range
from an almost colorless dry
(not sweet) Chablis, for
instance, to the very deep gold
of a rich sweet French
Sauternes.
Red wines have an equally
vast color spectrum, from the
pale pinkness of the roses to
the almost purple redness of
Burgundies, the taste may
range from tire soft round
smoothness of a well-aged
Bordeaux to the dry fruitiness
of a beautiful young Chianti.
Later, we’ll get into the
foods that go best with the
various wines. But first, some
more basic background.
FOUR CATEGORIES OF WINE
In the two colors of wine,
there are four basic categories.
By far the most prevalent in
the United States is “still”, or

table wine, consumed with
meals or for most occasions.
Then there are the sparkling
wines, generally thought of for
special occasions, but now
showing up as aperitifs or
dessert wines, and even with
meals. Probably the best
known wine name in the world
is Champagne, from the
Champagne region of France.
It was once a still wine, too,
until the venerable French
monk Dom Perignon created
its sparkle. When he tasted the
new sparkling champagne for
the first time, he is said to have
exclaimed, “My God, I am
drinking stars.” Dom
Perignon’s creation can be
tasted today because it is
produced by Moet & Chandon,
the largest of the illustrious
Champagne firms.
Other countries make
sparkling wines, but mist
recognize the French law that
only wines made in the
carefully designated region of
Champagne, France, can be
called by that name. The
Italians call them “spumante”
and one of their most famous
is Cinzano Asti Spumante from
the region near the town of
Asti, Italy. The Germans call
sparkling wine “sekt.” The
United States does not adhere
to this agreement and domestic
sparkling wines are usually
called Champagne. Os course,
Domaine Chandon, which is
the first French-owned
sparkling wine produced in this
country follows the law and
labels their product as
sparkling wines, though they
are made by the “methode
champenoise,’’ just as French
Champagnes are made.
Wines fortified with brandy
or other spirits, including
Sherry, Port and Madiera, from
the third category. Fourth and
final category includes the
aromatized final category
includes the aromatized wines,
such as vermouth, with herbs
and other flavorings added to
them.
