...Moramarco has wine in his blood. His ancestors made wine for eight generations in southern Italy, and after his grandfather Giuseppe emigrated to the U.S., he bought a winery in Los Angeles from the Jesuits during Prohibition. Jon's father was an expert in vine management--the pruning, spacing, grape thinning and irrigating that influence the quality of the grapes and the taste of the wine. As a young boy, Jon cleared weeds between the vines. He later went to work at the Callaway winery as a "cellar rat," cleaning tanks, moving barrels, stacking bottles and sometimes working...
...food I would recommend that my patients eat every day, it is blueberries. Not only do blueberries taste great, but they have well-documented antioxidant powers, which is probably why they seem to help ward off Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. I also encourage people to eat vine-ripened tomatoes and citrus fruits, because they have been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancers of the prostate and colon...
...heirloom tomatoes that chefs like, including purple brandywines, green striped zebras and fuzzy blues, are popping up at farmers' markets and gourmet food shops, and the seeds are big sell- ers.

Global production is increasing steadily. In Australia alone, output has doubled since 1995, with vine acreage up more than 50% in the past four years. Over the same period, the number of wine-drinkers worldwide has stagnated. "There are more and more of us fighting for the same-sized pie," says Charles Maurisset-Latour of the venerable Burgundian firm Maison Latour. The traditional major producers - France, Spain and Italy - have found themselves squeezed by state-of-the-art competitors from Australia, New Zealand, South America and South Africa. When French exports started to fall after a bumper year...
Pomey, a campus socialite from Vine Grove, Ky. and former producer of the Theatricals’ annual show, infamously french-kissed Anthony Hopkins when he received the Pudding’s Man of the Year award last year. She was president of the sorority Kappa Alpha Theta, co-founder of the female social club Isis and selected by Fifteen Minutes, The Crimson’s weekend magazine, as one of Harvard’s 15 most intriguing seniors...
