HOW

WINES

SHOULD

BE

SERVED.

93

wine

and

one

of

a

light

white

wine

is

required,

e.g.,

St.

Julien,

Pontet

Canet,

or

Ober-Ingelheimer,

Affenthaler

and

Markgrafler;

after

the

soup,

port

wine,

Madeira,

sherry,

Malvasy,

Marsala,

etc.;

selected

wines

are

served

in

small

glasses.

A

good

white

wine,

as

Forster,

Rauenthaler,

Pisporter,

or

another

Rhine

or

Moselle

wine,

but

light,

is

given

with

the

fish;

with

the

re-

leves

and

entrees,

Bordeaux;

with

ragouts,

mayon-

naises,

or

vegetables

and

chops,

Burgundy

or

heavy

Rhine

wine;

with

the

roast,

champagne;

to

pasties

and

entremets

serve

a

fine,

red

wine,

but not

too

acidulous,

e.

g.,

St.

Emilion,

Brane

Mouton,

Chateau

Margaux;

for

the

dessert,

a

heavy

sweet

wine,

as

Malaga,

Mus-

cat-Lunel,

Alicante,

Rivesaltes,

Tokay,

Menescher,

Frontignan,

Syracuse,

or

Greek

wine.

This

is,

of

course,

only

to

be

followed

at

great

ban-

quets

when

you

want

to

make

a

display;

for

smaller

parties

a

good

Bordeaux,

a

good

Rhine

wine

or

Mo-

selle,

and

perhaps

a

bottle

of

champagne,

or

one

of

sweet

wine

will

be

sufficient.

For

"dejeuners

"

mostly

a

light

red

and

a

white

wine

are

served,

with

one

or

two

brands

of

heavy

sweet

wines.

If

the

dejeuner

be

warm,

you

give

Chablis

to oysters,

Moselle

to

fish

or

meat

salads,

Bordeaux

to

chops,

roast

beef,

etc.,

white

Burgundy

or

fine

Rhine

wine

to

roasts;

to

bread,

butter,

and

cheese

English

ale,

Ba-

varian

beer

or

porter,

or,

at

discretion,

a

Spanish

or

Hungarian

wine.

For

supper

never

serve

any

of

those

heavy

sweet
