...Gallo is continuing the pursuit, critics notwithstanding. After Red Bicyclette's success, the company released a new French wine in April: Pont d'Avignon, a Côtes du Rhône from the Rhône Valley. It's about twice the price of Red Bicyclette but boasts flavors that are more complex and reflect the Rhône terroir. Da Vinci, a new Chianti that Gallo produced with Cantine de Leonardo Da Vinci's Alberto Antinoni, hit stores last year and is similarly higher priced. Like Pont d'Avignon, Da Vinci has the slick packaging of Gallo's other imports. Here...
...said to be fond of Mateus rosé, a vestige of the bad old days). But now rosé is making a bid for the mainstream, as winemakers try to anticipate the next trend in a fickle market. Wineries like Château Sainte Marguerite from Côtes de Provence are producing crisp, fruity tipples - and more of them now being exported. The color of rosé generally comes from juice that has been left in contact with the grape skins; the wine is best enjoyed young. First-timers should try the can't-go-wrong bottlings from...
...decrepit esplanade atop the Montparnasse train station on the Left Bank, has few friends. And in the 19th arrondissement, a working-class district in the east of the city, a forest of high-rise apartment blocks has made a cruel joke of the Place des Fêtes, a "festival square" where an infernal wind whips across an artless expanse of concrete. More of that? No thanks, say many Parisians. "Do we really have to leap into an infantile contest of verticality with other world cities to see who has the most beautiful and biggest?" asks Jean-Fran...
Culture satisfied, you can get down to the serious business of pastries. No one should leave the city without sampling at least two specialties: rétes, a strudel filled with apples or black cherries, and dobostorta, a cake generously layered with a custard of egg yolks, sugar, chocolate and vanilla and then covered with caramelized sugar. Fortunately, the city has numerous cafés ranging from simple to palatial. One worth a visit is the Gerbeaud Cukraszda on Vörösmarty Square. Its opulent decor of brocade wall coverings, wood paneling and crystal chandeliers hanging from vaulted...
Consider: In 1999 a chunky football dad (and youth-league coach) assaulted a nine-year-old player. In 2000, a Staten Island, N.Y., father broke the nose of his 10-year-old's coach with a hockey stick. And it ain't just tes-tosterone: In 1999 a Virginia soccer mom was fined after attacking a referee; the ref was 14. Americans don't generate the headlines Europeans do (HUNDREDS CRUSHED IN SOCCER RIOT!), and given the tens of millions of parents who cheer on their kids, the number of sports-psychosis cases is low. But we can still fret...
