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

offer
-Wine should be stored on its side to keep the cork
moist, thus preventing excessive air from entering the
bottle and spoiling the wine.
-Always serve wine in a clear glass on a white table
cloth so it will look its best.
. -Use a large glaft with a little wine in it so you can
"get your nose into it." 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.

Peterson will argue against UNL faculty members ac-"
ceptance of the American Association of University Pro

The unionization vote is scheduled for Feb. 16.
However, outstate extension service faculty members
must have their absentee ballots postmarked by Feb. 9,
