friday, february 6, 1976 page 6 daily nebraskan ' tjd bf Is One man 's wine anoth er man s vinegar By Lynn Roberts Mitch Tavlin can sell you a $200 bottle of wine.buf if it's like the last one he sold, it won't taste very good. That 27 -year-old bottle of wine ended up smashed on the floor when it took a fall from the shelf of its buyer. But it's not the wine that Tavlin sells you that's the real deal, it's what he gives you-his suggestions and advice.. "The only thing you have to know about wine is a good wine dealer," Tavlin said, adding that, "Most liquor store owners don't know anymore about wine than a pig knows about Sunday." ' This Lincoln liquor store owner of 37 years obviously knows his spirits well. , ' . Tavlin said he learned most of what he knows about wine .by reading about it and, of course, drinking it. Although Tavlin suggests wines to people, he said, the real way to find what you like is to taste. Not everybody likes every wine, and the best way to find out what you like is to try them all," he said . This is a hard liquor country where wine is not real popular, he said.' He added that wine is something not in stinctively liked. The wine industry in the United States is only about 40 years old. There are vineyards in Europe that have been operating since before the birth of Christ, he said. . One of the biggest faults of Americans when buying wine is their attraction to a label or a bottle, he said. "You have to remember that nothing good ever comes in a fancy bottle," Tavlin said. "If you ever see anything imported in fancy bottles, you know it was done just to attract the American buyer." , Once you do make a selection, he has some hints to short: ASUN Senate will con duct interviews for Union Advisory Board, Council on Student Life, Transporta tion Advisory Board, Career Action Commission, Hous ing Policy Committee, Honors Convocation and Commencement . positions starting at 9 ajn.

According to Tavlin, you can't really enjoy the taste of wine unless you can smell it. -Serve white wine chilled, but serve red wine at room temperature to prevent color change and loss of fragrance. He also suggested Alexis Lichine's Encyclopedia of Wines and Spirits as a good wine reference. ."Wine books with pictures are nice, but they don't give yoli much information," Tavlin said. He also suggested that books on only one kind of wine are not the best buy.
