Small wonder that most of the Châteaux Peoria enterprises are tiny by California standards and much of their wine is sold locally, often on their own premises. Few have more than 100 acres in vines. (On the other hand, Burgundy's La Romanée-Conti vineyard, one of the world's most justly famed, encompasses barely 4½ acres.) Some of their owners, and professional oenologists, point out that the soil and microclimate in, say, parts of Massachusetts and Michigan are in many ways closer to the great winegrowing regions of Europe than are overheated...
...manager of Cháteau Haut-Brion, the fabled premier grand cru classe Bordeaux cháteau. As the picking drew to a close last week, some growers sounded like Verlaine of the vineyard. Said Aubert Gaudin de Villaine, co-owner of Burgundy's great Romanée-Conti vineyard: "These grapes could have been made in a sculptor's studio-small, round, even and tightly bunched, close around the heart." Their yield, most experts agree, will be vins de garde-wines to lay down and treasure for ten to 20 years...
...they were alive and well. The prompt campaign of telegrams may well have saved their lives. Antonio Misetich, an MIT-affiliated Argentine scientist, was arrested on April 19 (Globe 5/5/76) by army security forces. Others who have been arrested include Osvaldo Sunkeld and Marta Zabaleta, both economists, and Harolda Conti, a writer. Pedro Paz, an economist, has also disappeared. (But recent reports from Argentina suggest that Paz and Sunkeld have been allowed to go into exile as a result of U.N. pressure...
...Rocky, at 190 pounds, is obviously and superbly prepared. He has trained--punching, dancing, working on the elements of his style--in a way he never bothered when he still labelled himself a "loser" during his ten years as a fighter before. In a beautiful sequence set to Bill Conti's gradually crescendoing music, the camera follows the progress of Rocky's 4 a.m. runs around the sleeping city as he gets faster and the early shoppers begin to recognize him as a kind of local hero climaxing in the one morning when he finally mounts the steps...
Moore, who was dressed in turtleneck blouse, navy vest, striped pants and the same brown boots she wore the day she tried to shoot Ford, was pressed by Conti on whether she had acted entirely on her own. "On that particular date I was acting alone," she replied. "How about on some other date?" Conti persisted. "I'm not going to answer that," Moore answered cryptically. Conti later suggested that if she provided details of any conspiracy, her sentence would be lightened. Some observers suggest that Moore fired at Ford in hopes of reingratiating herself with her radical friends...
