A careful reading of the draft plan gives Rafael’s suspi- cion some plausibility. For example, the park’s draft plans appear to take for granted that the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is changing its longtime opposition to no-fishing zones. To close or not to close In early stages of a plan begun several years ago, the FWC refused to play partners with the park unless its stand against such zones was adopted. FWC is important to the understaffed park, where state boating and fishing regulations are used and FWC officers help rangers with enforcement. Ninety-five percent of the place is submerged in Biscayne Bay and the reefs between the bay and the Gulf Stream. In 2002, the park formally agreed with FWC that clo- sures weren’t warranted. They wrote a memo of understand- ing about it then and renewed it in 2007 for five more years. The understanding explicitly stated the FWC’s rejection of marine reserves, or no-fishing zones. There’s a copy of that document in the management plan draft, with a note saying that a revised version was signed two months later — on Dec. 27. FWC chairman Rodney Barreto told the “Waterfront News” he didn’t know a revision existed. “I’d like to see a copy of it myself,” he said.

Healthy Galley.

BY MICHELLE LOCKE Associated Press Writer OAKVILLE, Calif. (AP) — Can a fanci- er glass add class to your wine? Stemware manufacturers certainly think so, offering varietal-specific designs that sup- posedly enhance whatever you care to quaff. To Maximilian Riedel (rhymes with nee- dle), CEO of Riedel Crystal, a glass is the “messenger” that shapes and delivers wine in a nuanced manner influenced by slight changes in the design, such as a bigger bowl or narrower rim. “There is no one glass that can showcase every wine,” he said as he led a recent tasting seminar in the Napa Valley. Conventional wisdom holds that sparkling wines keep their bubbles better in skinny flutes. Heavier whites, such as a chardonnay, usually are served in glasses with a fairly large bowl; red wines generally are served in “tulip” style glasses, with the rim slightly narrower than the bowl. And there are plenty of variations of each. But there also are plenty of skeptics. “The glass doesn't know what kind of wine is in there,” points out Joshua Wesson, a former sommelier and co-founder of Best Cellars, wine stores selling inexpensive wines. “Good wine is good wine and good AP Photo/ERIC RISBERG taste will win out regardless of the vessel.” Connoisseurs maintain that the right glass imparts more flavor to a fine wine. Less fussy drinkers say it’s about the wine, not the glass. There's not a lot of science on the sub- ject, hardly surprising since wine tasting is more of an event.
