From Hollywood
Money will be missing from quite a few alimony
checks when Marvin Gaye’s newest album, Come
Here, My Dear is released. It’ll be used to buy the Ip
devoted to Gaye’s suffering in his hard-fought divorce
from Berry’s sis, Anna Gordy Gaye. Marvin croons
about the pain, heartbreak, attorney’s fees, judges and
the whole system of divorce. Att. Curtis Shaw, who
handled both the divorce and his recent bankruptcy,
tells me that Marvin is almost ready to tackle the world
again.
Did you ever wonder what disco queen Donna
Summer does in her spare time at home. Well last week
we caught her sitting on the floor playing cards'with
good pals Ray Vitte, Linda Hopkins and Valentin
Singleton. That’s a nice way to relax.
Where is Linda Cooke, the twenty-five-year-old
daughter of the late Sam Cooke? Her step-father and
producer, Bobby Womack, has her tucked away in the
best recording studio he can find, laying down the

Esther Rolle may have rolled quietly back into the

upped the ratings of that ailing series, she has hit
Hollywood like a Kansas tornado. Esther is now being

that she is the front runner for the coveted role played
by the late Ethel Waters in the remake of A Member of

How to choose a wine
See, swirl, sniff,
savor and swallow
By Herbert P. Douglas Jr.
Vice President
Seineffelin & Co.
Part II
Now that you know the
colors and categories of wine,
you need to know the terms of
indentifying them. There are
four: generic, varietal, regional
and proprietary.
Some wines, including many
American ones, are called by a
broad general type - such as
chablis, burgundy, sauterne or
ehianti. Named for the part ol
tile world when- die first wines
of diat type were produced,
they are known as “generics.
When producers use very
specific grape varieties in dieir
wines, die wines are “varietal.
Each country has laws stating
exactly what percentage ol die
grape vareity must be included
for the wine to qualify for a
varietal name. Good examples
of varietal names are Pinot
Noir and Chardonnay.
Wines made from grapes
grown in a very specific and
strictly, controlled area or
region of a country, are
“regional wines and carry
such names as Chateauneuf-du
-Pape (in France) or Rioja (in
Spain).
And then there are
“proprietary’ (or brand)
names. One of the best known,
and die largest selling imported
white wine in this country, is
Blue Nun Liebfraumilch which
combines die proprietary na
me, Blue Nun, with the
regional origin. Leibfraumilch
designates wines blended from
the Rhine districts of
Germany.
LOOK AT THE LABEL
If diis all sounds mysterious,
it isn’t. In fact, this
information is right on the
wine hot de label. Since the
only way to learn about labels
is to read diem, you should go
to a liquor store diat lias a
really large selection of wines
ala lime when die proprietor
is not too busy. Pick but a few
hotties and let him tell you
what each designation on the
label means.
Then begin your own wine
tasting by selecting a modestly
priced wine that is not too dry
for inexperienced taste buds or
too sweet to go with food,
such as Bril (ante Blanco or
Rosado from Spain’s Rioja
region.
As for vintage, it is a risky
business playing the numbers
game, unless you know exactly
what was a good year for die
particular variety of wine you
are choosing. What may have
been a poor year for Bordeaux,
for example, may have been an
excellent one for the Rhine

The Augusta Chapter of
Johnson C. Smith University
chapter was selected to

Association at the

The chapter was given the

When it comes to choosing
the right wine lor die right
food, die rule is that wine and
food should not overwhem
each other.
Peter Sichel, one of die
world’s most noted authorities
on wine, and author or ‘Which
Wine?* Ihe W ine Drinker’s
Buying Guide,” has some good
advice for young wine drinkers.
Wine is such as inspired
accompaniment to food it is
senseless to complicate it with
a lot of rules. In fact, the Nun

Herbert I’. Douglas Jr.
Liebfrauinileh has attained
enormous popularity largely
because of its versatility and its
semi-dry taste that appeals to
most palates and goes with any
food.
S< )ME GUIDELINES
Nevertheless, there are some
general guidelines. And Mr.
Sichel’s book offers advice on
Ulis. Delicate dishes like Sole
or Veal Piceala are
comple’niert ted by delicate
white wines, such as a light
Moselle or a Chenin Blanc.
Spicy food, on the other hand,
requires big wines that stand
up to it and cut through the
spice. Which is why so many
Italian reds, such as Ruffino
Chianti, go beautifully with
tomato sauce and garlic.
Chicken, unless' it is Coq au
Vin cooked in red wine, is
better with a dry or semi-dry
white wine. Heartier meats like
beef are usually served with a
red Bordeaux or Burgundy.

To store wine, find a place
where the temperature is
consistently cool (as close to
55 degrees F. as you can
come), with little light and
vibrations. The kitchen is the
worst place because the
temperature goes up and down,
the light is too bright and
family traffic and appliances
cause vibrations frequently.
Instead find a cool place, not
under the stairs or in a highly
trafficked room, and place the
wine bin near the floor where
it is cooler. Lay all cork-sealed
bottles on their sides.
When serving wine, whites
should be chilled, reds served
about room temperature. Open
red wines an hour before
serving to let them breathe and
bring out their bouquet. Then
serve in eight to ten ounce
tulip-shaped clear glasses,
filling no more than half way
to allow the bouquet to
develop further.
As for the cork mentioned
earlier, when the waiter hands
it to you, take it, look at it,
sniff it and if it smells of wine,
not musty or corky, lay it on
the table and nod to the waiter
to proceed- He will pour a little
wine your glass. Take it, swirl
it gently to release the bouquet
and lake a little sip. Then, nod
to the waiter to serve the wine
to everyone. You’re on the
way to becoming a wine
connoisseur.
