We’ve had more auctions, and sold more bottles of fine wine, than ever before. Between our amazing single-owner eAuctions, restaurant auctions, Hong Kong auctions (auctioneered from New York!), our first single-owner California-only sale, and our multi- vendor auctions, supply and demand remain steady, and prices are strong. This finale auction of the spring season caps off a crazy June, and I’m delighted to report that the fall is shaping up to be just as busy. Now let’s talk about the amazing wines in this auction! One of the coolest lots I’ve seen in a while is the “Yquem Assortment Case” (lot 119). Why isn’t Yquem on every catalog cover? This assortment case back to 1934 would be one of the greatest sweet wine tastings ever. Of course, there’s another great assortment in the sale, or assortiment I should say: 1990 DRC (lot 120). This one continues to be at the top of every collector’s wish list. This auction catalog is also filled with DRC, Rousseau, Roumier, Coche-Dury, white rari- ties like Ramonet Montrachet (in jero no less) , a boatload of Cuvee Cathelin, the Loire Valley gem Asteroide, Screaming Eagle, and one of the rarest Bourbons we’ve ever sold: AH Hirsch 19 year old. We can’t be with you at Smith & Wollensky this time, but we’ve quickly pivoted to our “live streaming only” format, and many of you have loved it. Who doesn’t want to bid on Rousseau in their pajamas?! Thank you for making this season an amazing one at Zachys. In every great challenge there is opportunity and I thank you for allowing the Zachys team to serve you. I can’t wait to share a great bottle or three with you soon enough! Until then, stay safe, Jeff Zacharia President 4 Day 1 Lots 1–773 June 26 at 10:00 AM EST 5 JAYER, DRC, & CUVÉE CATHELIN CHAVE from a MANHATTAN COUPLE (LOTS 1-61) I have personally had the pleasure of knowing this amazing wine collecting couple for over a decade. Of course, they started acquiring Jayer long before I was in the picture, but it has been amazing to help them buy and sell on multiple occations over these years. I have personally been in their wine cellar and the word bunker is an insult. Equipped with a state-of-the-art security, temperature and yes, vibration sensor (what else do you expect from a leading engineer and tech entrepreneur), this is one of the best NYC wine cellars I have ever been in. I’ve also had the pleasure of attending several wine events and dinners with them where we sampled many bottles from their collection; the wine has always shown perfectly! If you’re into Roumier, Rousseau, DRC, Coche, Dujac and Chave then these next 60 lots or so might make your head explode. It’s not even worth listing the “highlights” in this intro as every lot that follows deserves that indication. So, flip through the next couple of pages and tell your CFA to transfer funds to your wine spending account; what follows will excite any wine lover.

  • “Replacing” Tobacco on Kentucky Farms: Discourses of Tradition, Heritage, and Agricultural Diversification
    “Replacing” Tobacco on Kentucky Farms: Discourses of Tradition, Heritage, and Agricultural Diversification Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ann Katherine Ferrell, MA Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Amy Shuman, Advisor Dorothy Noyes Patrick B. Mullen Nan Johnson Copyright by Ann Katherine Ferrell 2009 ABSTRACT Tobacco farms, once an icon of American history, are disappearing from the landscape. For the Kentucky tobacco growers who are the focus of this study, tobacco farming is a livelihood that involves a mastery of traditional skills passed through generations and adapted to changing circumstances—technological, economic, social, and political. In this project, I examine the consequences of the changing status of tobacco and the category “tobacco farmer,” both of which have become stigmatized because of the health effects of tobacco use. This dissertation examines the current period of transition for Kentucky burley production and the implications for tobacco farmers of the changing contexts of this traditional occupation, often described as “a way of life.” The project is based on ethnographic fieldwork in Central Kentucky, supplemented by the collection of public discourses from multiple sites about tobacco production past and present. It brings folklore research and theory together with historical and archival research, economic data, and rhetorical analysis. In addition to a metahistory of tobacco production in the U.S. and Kentucky, and a fieldwork- based description of the 2007 crop-year, this dissertation examines the movement of the social and occupational category “tobacco farmer” from respect to stigma, and considers the repercussions of this movement on central folkloristic concepts, heritage and tradition.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of the Liberal Arts GERMAN IN EVERY PARTICULAR? FROM HISTORIC SETTLEMENT TO THEME TOWNS: EXAMPLES OF “LITTLE GERMANIES” IN AMERICA A Thesis in German by Dirk Lehmann © 2007 Dirk Lehmann Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2007 The thesis of Dirk Lehmann was reviewed and approved* by the following: Francis G. Gentry Emeritus Professor of German Thesis Adviser Chair of Committee A. Gregg Roeber Professor of Early Modern History and Religious Studies B. Richard Page Associate Professor of German and Linguistics William Pencak Professor of American History Daniel L. Purdy Associate Professor of German Adrian J. Wanner Professor of Slavic Languages and Literatures and Comparative Literature Head of the Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages and Literatures *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii ABSTRACT Among America’s most successful cultural and heritage tourism destinations are towns with a distinct and identifiable German character or theme. These “Little Germanies” are popular tourist destinations because of their historic and architectural ambiance and the natural beauty of their location. They are “German in every particular,” just as their visitors demand it. A multitude of special events and celebrations add to their popularity and success. Although they have in common their cultural theme and character, they are all very different in regards to their location, history and purpose of their founding, efforts in historic preservation, community profiles, tourism programs, and in many other respects. These “Little Germanies” can be divided into three different categories: “Historic Settlement,” “Theme Town” and “Historic Settlement turned Theme Town.” In their efforts to market themselves as a viable destination to tourists seeking a German cultural experience, America’s “Little Germanies” employ differing approaches and unique characteristics in order to sell a similar product.

  • Planting the Vines an Introduction Fritz Allhoff
    9781405154314_4_000.qxd 8/3/07 11:48 AM Page 1 Planting the Vines An Introduction Fritz Allhoff Socrates took his seat . and had his meal . When dinner was over, they poured a libation to the god, sang a hymn, and – in short – followed the whole ritual. Then they turned their atten- tion to drinking. At that point, Pausanias addressed the group: “Well gentlemen, how can we arrange to drink less tonight? To be honest, I still have a terrible hangover from yesterday, and I could really use a break. I daresay most of you could, too, since you were also part of the celebration. So let’s try not to overdo it.” Plato (427–347 bce), Symposium 176a2–176a1 Wine and philosophy have long had a symbiotic relationship, extending back toward the origins of both. Some of the earliest archeo- logical evidence that we have for the existence of wine comes from the Neolithic period in modern Armenia and northern Iran; a pot- tery jar coated with wine residue has been dated to 5400 bce. By 2500 bce, wine was being cultivated on Crete, and probably on main- land Greece as well.1 But the period of time that I want to call to attention is the fifth and fourth centuries bce when Greek philo- sophers, such as Plato and Aristotle, laid the foundations of what would become Western culture. Wine undoubtedly played an import- ant social role during this time and, by extension, has had a significant impact on our own culture and history. 1 Tom Standage, A History of the World in Six Glasses (New York: Walker and Co., 2005), pp.

  • Wine Club “ May 2012 Extraordinary Team of Stonemasons to Fill in All Gaps in the Stone Work
    wine club “ may 2012 extraordinary team of stonemasons to fill in all gaps in the stone work. RESTORING A Each side of the building will be checked, a process that will be time consuming but will help maintain the LEGEND structural integrity of our cellars. Inside the historic cellar walls major repairs are also being done. The strengthening of our stone winery’s walls consists of an innovative technique called Center Core Drilling. The reason we have applied this to the retrofit process is that it strengthens the exterior masonry walls with no visible evidence. Additional work inside includes, the three vaults (wine caves) reinforced as well as repairs and restoration to all three levels of this historic building. Our skilled restoration team has reached the half way point and every day progress is being made so that by fall, the champagne cellars will be reopened for all to see and experience again. Follow our progress online at BuenaVistaWinery.com Many have been forever charmed by Buena Vista and its cellars and vaults, the oldest stones of the California wine world.
