DESCRIPTIVE LIST OF PEACHES. 187 



" No. 5. From the Missouri Grape, five per cent, brandy. The wine is thin 

 in body, and wanting flavour, perhaps arising from our not having had a fair 

 chance of tasting it at perfection, it having been recently shaken up." 



A Silver Medal was awarded for each of the bottles described below. 



A bottle of wine furnished by Mr. T. L. Prevost, Greenville, Greene county, 

 was tested, which was represented to be four years old. "A sort of Hock, of 

 fine flavour, but in a state of fermentation, the sugar not being dissolved and 

 the spirit formed." 



A bottle from Mr. Charles Peabody, made by him from a native grape found 

 on the banks of the Uchee creek, in Russell county, Alabama, was pronounced 

 by the judges, " a pleasant wine, sweet, like Malmsey, and if no sugar has 

 been added to the juice, as is represented, it is remarkable in its character." 



It is recorded in the Southern Cultivator, "that some of the most celebrated 

 wine connoisseurs of Columbus, describe the wine made from the Uchee 

 Grape as having the body of Port, with a little of the Muscat flavour, and 

 equal to the best imported."
