...California, as in Europe, winemaking has historically been a male prerogative. No longer. Inspired and encouraged by Mary Ann Graf and then Zelma Long at Sonoma's Simi Winery, a number of women have taken up the vinting craft, and are increasingly making their talents known. Kristin Belair, 31, a graduate of the University of California at Davis, is a newcomer to reckon with: the Wine Spectator rated her 1986 Johnson Turnbull Cabernet Sauvignon 13th on its recent list of 100 "Hottest Wines." "Winemaking is a nice mix of art and science," she says. "I really like blending...
...wild and wonderful hours." Down at Bucky's Sports Center, the natives tell of the local version of the Loch Ness monster, a wicked old mossback called "Ol' Geronimo," who "goes 30 Ibs. if he's an ounce." * Next door at the Belair Resort, Proprietor W.C. Jefferson laments the passing of Charlie, an 8-lb. pet bass that would nose up to the motel's dock for lunch.

...high point of his anti-ash campaign came when he dropped in-unexpectedly, of course-at a press briefing conducted by Agriculture Secretary Orville Freeman. Seating himself next to New York Timesman Felix Belair Jr., the President began fidgeting when he noticed that the ash on Belair's cigarette was lengthening inexorably. Ostentatiously, he reached over and dragged a stand-up ashtray to the reporter's side. Too late; the offending ash broke loose and rained onto the green carpet. Mortified, Belair quickly followed it down, kneeling to scoop it up with his notebook. As the ash disappeared...
