King Estate Winery is located at

during the week by appointment.
Before diving head first, however,
it may be helpful to go in with a
small bit of knowledge of the wine
world. And what better place to
start than the Professional Bar
tender’s Academy?
According to the organization’s
handbook, it is possible that wine is
older than humanity itself. When
the first wild grape ripened in the
sun, with the help of airborne
yeast, it become wine without any
one’s help.
While wine can be made from
virtually any fruit, grape wine is, of
course, the dominant choice. The
visual and taste difference between
red and white table wines depends
greatly on the role the grape skin
plays in the fermentation process.
If the grape is crushed and ferment
ed with its skin, and fermentation
runs its course, the wine will be red

and tart. If the skin is removed pri
or to fermentation, the result will
be a white wine with a less tart fla
vor. Rose or pink wines result when
the skin is removed during the ear
ly stage of fermentation.
“Almost every European nation
has a saying equivalent to ‘A meal

sunshine,”’ states the handbook.
Glassberg agrees: “A good wine
complements a meal in a way that
hard liquor doesn’t.”
A wine’s dry quality makes it a
good companion to a meal. In wine
terminology, a dry wine is one that
is not very sweet and doesn’t pos
sess a strong bouquet or aroma.

edge may bring a thirst for further
choices, and there is no shortage of
venues for the local connoisseurs
in-training.
One great way to begin a search
for the perfect wine may be to
make an event of it. This may be a
Friday evening spent hopping from
one establishment to another to
taste some of the industry’s finer
choices. A coincidental scheduling
makes this plan easy.
You can start at Sundance Natur
al Foods Wine Cellars at 2470 Alder
St.. The cellar offers wine tasting
from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. every Friday.
From there, tasters can journey
to the New Frontier Market at 200
W. Broadway, a popular haunt that
offers wine tasting from 5 p.m. to 7
p.m. every Friday.
And finally, tasters can end the
evening at Cornucopia Bottle Mar
ket at 295 West 17th St. Cornu
copia offers a unique setting, which
includes outdoor seating, and hosts
wine tasting from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
every Friday.
Now you can leave the boxed
stuff to the amateurs.

People who like wine can goto wineries to seek out their new favorite.
Even for those who have not
read the tomes, the special effects
and scenery in both “The Fellow
ship of the Ring” and “The Two
Towers” are by themselves worth
the price of a ticket. Also, the
Helm’s Deep battle scene in the
movie is far more breathtaking, less
chaotic and confusing, and more
enjoyable than the Helm’s Deep of
the book. Sacrilege, I know.
Those who vehemently ab
horred Hollywood’s audaciously
added romantic scenes between
Arwen and Aragorn to a movie
whose book never mentioned
them should read the appendix.
Tolkien used his appendix as
many movies now use their DVD
releases; it has a plethora of bonus
material and deleted scenes. It is
a nice touch that Peter Jackson
chose to include some of it.
Now, those of us who are under
Tolkien’s spell wait anxiously for
next winter to bring the third and
final installment, “The Return of
the King.” Yet, I am apprehensive
about it, too. There is so much
material left to cover that it is im
possible for the movie to include
everything — even if it is more
than three hours long. Scenes,
chapters, even whole characters
will, out of necessity, be cut, and I
fear the ax. Peter Jackson and the
screenwriters may not share the
same love of certain aspects of the
book that I do. And, given the suc
cess and quality of these movies,
Tolkien’s epics most likely will
never again be adapted to film. So
this is their one shot. Tom Bom
badil never made the silver
screen. I fear others may join him
in the darkness.
Yet, the beauty of it all is that
even if these epic films do not por
tray the Middle Earth as I envi
sioned it, there will always be the
books. Instead of plopping down
in front of the television to watch
the DVD, I can sit back with my
old, bent, stained, broken-spined
copy of “Lord of the Rings,” and
suddenly be in the depths of Fang
horn forest, tipping my head back
to drink the rain with the Ents.
