he says ... A classic Burgundian style
red, the 1999 Pinot Noir, is brimming
with luscious strawberry-like fruit, with
a long, , lingering
mouth-feel finish. The
b
highly anticipated 1998 Napa Valley
Merlot, the wineries' signature, leaves
no doubt about its pedigree: Hearty, yet
stylish, with deep luscious cherry and
cassis, and a long, lingering finish."

"WHAT DO HOLLYWOOD"
celebrities eat at a memorial service for
one of their own?" asks Nation's
Restaurant News ... "Well, if the man you
are remembering is Walter Matthau, you
eat hot dogs — kosher dogs, courtesy of
Nathan's Famous. Matthau was a big fan
of Nathan's frankfurters. According to
Reuters news service, the event was held
at the Directors Guild Theater and host-
ed by Matthau's son, Charles."
KORN KORNER ... from Arnold
Kitchener ...
Patient: "Doctor, you have to help
me. Some days I wake up thinking I'm
Mickey Mouse; other days I think I'm
Donald Duck" ...
Doctor: "And how long have you
been having these Disney spells?"
OLDIE BUT GOODIE ... from
Steve Zuckerman in Atlanta ... "It's erev
Rosh Hashanah and services are about
to begin. The synagogue is packed. As
the congregants are milling around,
shmoozing before services, everyone
seems to be distracted by a man who
has brought his beloved dog with him.
"(What chutzpa!' an elderly woman
whispers aloud. Services begin, and
everyone is fascinated by how well the
dog behaves. The next morning, the
man and his dog arrive early and
promptly begin davening (praying).
This time, the dog is wearing its own
little tallit and yarmulke, and even
appears, upon closer inspection, to be
shukling back and forth as the chazzan
(cantor) intones the prayers. The con-
gregation is amazed.
"The week goes by and Kol Nidre
arrives. The solemn worship service
begins. The man and his dog are back,
and this time, just as the chazzan is
about to begin the prayers, the dog
stands up on its hind legs and howls
`Ba-R0000000CH...!' more melo-
diously than the best chazzan. After
the service, everyone is clamoring to
meet this man and his remarkable dog.
"Finally the rabbi comes up to him
and says, 'That's one talented pooch
you have there. You know, you should
really consider sending your dog to
rabbinical school.'
"The man looks down, shakes his
head, throws up his hands in disgust
and says, 'YOU talk to him! He wants
to be a doctor!" El
