" These tables show that the last pressing, or the must made 

 from the grapes that remained longest on the vines, was in the 

 most perfect condition to make strong wines, of a high quality, 

 and which would bear much reduction to make the thin wines 

 equivalent to the light Rhenish wines of Germany and 

 France. 



"The must was made from grapes at the rate of a little over 

 thirteen pounds to the gallon. 



"The whole vintage reached 67,000 pounds of grapes, and 

 from this we made about 5,000 gallons of wine."
