...sense of smell is the most primitive of the five senses, a throwback to the primordial mists when the brain was scarcely developed. It is also the least understood sense. The human nose can distinguish an extraordinary bouquet of odors, some 10,000 in all, and other animals can better that. It has long been recognized that moths, for example, are exquisitely sensitive to certain pheromone molecules and can sniff out a potential mate half a mile away. But scientists could not begin to explain precisely how they...
...that will knock your socks off. For $500 a bottle, oenophiles who purchase the world-famous Chardonnay expect to enjoy one of the world's great wines. Now it seems that some of them would have been better off with a bottle of Chateau Toledo. Attracted by the bouquet of easy profit, wine counterfeiters have produced bogus bottles of DRC Montrachet, which have turned up in California and as far away as Tokyo...
...could be an upscale moviegoer's idea of the ultimate great date. What middle-aged woman would mind being romanced by gorgeous James Spader? His face is a bouquet of sensitive sensuality; he proved he was a good listener as the impotent confessor in sex, lies, and videotape. And what young fellow wouldn't care to wake up on a couch with Susan Sarandon's head in his lap? From The Rocky Horror Picture Show through Pretty Baby, Atlantic City, The Hunger and Bull Durham, she has been the American cinema's beacon of seductive intelligence: our own Statue...
...produced about 12 million cases of wine; a scant 68,000 were sold in the U.S., although that was a 21% increase over 1988 levels. A pity. Unlike the sweetish Rhines and Moselles of neighboring Germany, Alsace's crisp Pinot Blancs, spicy Gewurztraminers and luscious Rieslings are flowery in bouquet but normally bone-dry in taste, in short, ideal companions to such summertime staples as shellfish, grilled chicken and pasta salad. (Gewurztraminer has a peculiar affinity for Chinese and Indian dishes.) The hard-to-find 1985 vintage is a great one; so is 1988, now coming to market. Trimbach...
...BEAUTIFUL FOR YOU. A French businessman (Gerard Depardieu) has a gorgeous, loving wife (Carole Bouquet). So how come he loves frowsy Josiane Balasko? Because in a Bertrand Blier movie, fate always drives men into the brick wall of their improbable lust. This bracing, supersonic comedy plays mid-life crisis for all it's worth: as high farce, with a body count...
