Chianti Classical reserve, or the white

McInnes said the most popular
wines," said Jon Gould, general manag-
er of Palio, "is the red Chianti Classical
reserve, or the white Pino Grigio."
McInnes said the most popular wines
this year are of the 1993 vintage.
"The older the wine, the better it
could be," McInnes said. "But some
wines you wouldn't want to age"
Producing a good wine takes more
than just stomping on grapes as
demonstrated by Lucille Ball in an
episode of "I Love Lucy." The process
of wine-making obviously begins
with the grapes. But the quantity of
grapes is crucial to the concentration
of the wine and eventually the price as
well.
"The fewer grapes you have, the
more concentrated the wine will be,"
McInnes said.
McInnes said the price of wine would
also increase if a small amount of
grapes were grown because of the dif-
ference between the short supply of
grapes and the demand for the wine.
After the grapes are picked, the
stomping can begin. The color of the
wine is determined by the skin color of
the grapes. Red grapes can produce
white wine, after the skin is removed.
Also, white wines can be made from
dark berries.
As the grapes are crushed, the yeast
from outside the grapes mixes with sug-
ars from inside the grapes. The liquid
produced from the stomping process is
the wine that sits on the shelves of
Village Corner or in the restaurants of

You might want to serve a taste of this California dessert
nectar made by Randall Grahm, the Master of the Icebox. Grahm uses a
commercial freezer to simulate the freezing that creates the rare and deli-
cious German "eisweins" (ice wines) it seems to work, and the cost is far
more reasonabie. The process also concentrates the delicious natural fla-
vors of the Muscat grape - honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, pineapple, coconut
and marzipan Get Doonr

V Britain's Republica, best known for
their catchy single "Ready To Go," are
currently on tour opening for Gravity
Kills. Lead singer Saffron says it's
much better to be an opening band in
through Ann Arbor on their current book
tours. Oates will read from her latest, "We
Were the Mullaneys" (Simon & Schuster)
Oct. 21. Beattie reads from her paperback
Vintage Books release "Another You" on
Oct. 29. Simpson will read from "A
Regular Guy" (Knopf) on Nov. 8. All
readings start at 7:30 p.m. at Borders and
are free of charge.

Some vineyards choose to age their
wine in wooden cellars so that the wine
can get tannens.
Tannens, McInnes said, are what
accentuates the taste of the wine and
gives it the extra "zest," that makes you
click your tongue or snap your fingers.
But you don't have to travel to Napa
Valley to sample the wines from the
vineyard; instead, there are some vine-
yards sitting in our backyard.
The Chateau Grand Traverse near
Traverse City produces a variety of
wines, as do Fenn Valley and St. Julian,
both located near St. Joseph.
So if you're sitting at home on a
Friday night eating a lasagna with your
closest friends, or you're out on a spe-
cial date, spruce up the night by break-
ing open a bottle of Chardonnay or
Sauvignon
