He urges that we "properly appreciate an enriching body of work that can be called `celebratory modernism,' and that we do so before the works in question have grown even dimmer or have disappeared entirely behind the newest academic fog banks." And his point is well taken. After all, Bauhaus vests trust in our aesthetic judgement and hopes for the future.

Some unprofitable and marginally successful varietals will probably disappear, at least in Napa and Sonoma. But vintners insist that they will soon be able to produce more of the premier wines consumers want -- notably Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon...
