`
`Ike Behar shirts are featured at the most exclusive
`retailers in the United States, Japan, England,
`Canada, Italy, and his namesake stores in Miami
`and Shanghai, China. Many motion picture and
`television celebrities have made Ike Behar their
`shirt of choice on andoff thescreen.
`
`It is with greatpride that the Behar family
`presents La Confianza, an exquisite lineofshirts
`respectfully handcrafted in the United States to
`celebrate the 110th anniversaryof the man who
`set the standards of quality thatstill remain the
`strength of the firm today.
`
`Wear these shirts with confidence. Only the finest
`fabrics woven in the best mills throughout Europe
`were used, from two-ply Egyptian cotton to
`100% cashmere.
`
`Enjoy the distinctive details. Every seam is single-
`needle stitched with 22 stitches per inch. Every shirt
`has an authentic split yoke, a U.S, Patent diamond-
`quilted inner collar, and natural ocean pearl
`buttons, as well as hand-cut collars and cuffs,
`
`La Confianza. A shirt that can be worn bythe
`discerning gentleman with confidence thatthis
`meticulously tailored garmentwill stand thetests
`of time, elegance, and style—just as Samuel Behar
`
`always intended.

`alcohol daily; but that “In most sub-
`groups, the rates of death from all
`causes were lowest among people
`whoreported one drink of alcohol
`daily.”

`
`Word has it that California’s dynamic
`Pinot Noir duo, Burt Williams and Ed
`Selyem, are looking to sell their win-
`ery, and that former San Francisco
`49er quarterback Joe Montanais eager
`to buy.

`
`The world’s most planted wine grape
`is the white Airén, whose vines cover
`a whopping1.2 million acres in Spain.
`
`¢¢e
`
`Tom Selfridge, former Winemaker
`and President of Beaulieu Vineyards
`and, more recently, Vice-President of
`Production at Kendall-Jackson, joined
`California’s Chalone Group as Presi-
`dent, effective January 1. Based in
`Napa, the Chalone Group not only
`owns and operates Monterey’s Cha-
`lone Vineyards, Carneros’ Acacia
`Winery and Sonoma’s Carmenet
`Winery, but owns a 50 percent interest
`in San Luis Obispo’s Edna Valley
`Vineyards, a 5] percent interest in
`Washington’s Canoe Ridge Winery
`and a 24 percent interest in the
`Bordeaux Fourth Growth Chateau
`Duhart-Milon. The hiring ofSelfridge
`could signal a new, more competitive
`direction for the Group. Stay tuned.
`{Editor's note: Selfridge’s hiring came
`barely a week before the tragic death,
`in a plane crash, of Chalone co-founder
`Dick Graff]
`
`¢e¢ fe
`
`According to The New Sotheby's Wine
`Encyclopedia (London: D K Publishing,
`Inc., 1997), 86 percent of a wine's con-
`tent is water, with “individual flavor-
`
`ing elements [representing] barely
`two percent of ... content.”
`
`@¢€e¢e
`
`Who produces the most Pinot Noir in
`California? Well, it’s none other than
`Sebastiani, whose August Sebastiani,
`Talus, Nathanson Creek and Ven-
`dange brands account for over 300,000
`cases of Pinot annually.
`
`@¢@e¢e¢
`
`Hospices de Beaune winemaker
`André Porcheret, who also owns
`Burgundy’s Domaine Monthélie-
`Douhairet
`(Monthélie, Volnay,
`Pommard and Meursault), has begun
`aging someof his wines in square bar-"
`rels. Traditional round barrels, he con-
`tends, exposetoo muchof the wine to
`harsh sediment, but square ones, by -
`lowering and compacting the sedi-
`ment, lessen the exposure, and lead to
`softer, fruitier wine. And we thought
`we'd heard everything...
`
`Spread over 24 acres and able to hold
`30 million gallons, the world’s largest
`wine cellar belongs to the South
`African wine cooperative K.W.V.
`
`¢¢e¢
`
`Good newsfor diet-conscious lovers
`of bubbly: An independent study con-
`ducted by California sparkling wine
`producer Gloria Ferrer shows that, on
`average, Champagne and methodé
`champenoise wines contain ten per-
`cent fewer calories than premium
`California Chardonnay.
`
`Good news, too, for lovers of Tuscan
`red wine: TheItalian government has
`just increased the permissible DOC
`acreage for Rosso di Montalcino —
`the younger-drinking, less-expensive
`“cousin” of Brunello di Montalcino —
`
`from 75 acres to 800.

`HEADLINE:As a Symbol of Success, the Cigar Is on a Roll; Surprised by Demand, Stogie Makers Struggle To
`Feed the Fire
`
`BYLINE: Heather Salerno, Washington Post Staff Witer
`
`.
`BODY:
`Demi, Bruce and Armold have turned them into a pop culture icon. Tony restaurants hold special dinners to savor
`them. And there's even a magazine devoted to them.
`
`Sales of cigars are smoking, driven by a new imageofthe stogie as a symbol of prestige, success and luxurious
`living, It's hard to believe thatjust four years ago, cigar sales were so poor that experts were ready to write off the
`industry.
`
`Caught off guard by the sudden surge in sales ~ which analysts don't expect to slow for several years --
`manufacturers are finding it impossible to keep up with the overwhelming demand for cigars. The most popular
`cigars, the premium, hand-rolled variety, are exported to thé United States primarily from a fewaresis, including
`the Dominican Republic, the Canary Islands, Honduras and Spain. The boomhas led to back orders of 60 million
`to 80 million cigars.
`
`"There ig an argument over how many cigars are really on order with the companiés," said Norman Sharp,
`president of thé District-based Cigar Association of America, "But the fact is that whetherit's 60 or 80 million.it
`doesn't matter. You still can't get them."
`
`Industry éxperts say that demand for such highly rated cigars as Arturo Fuentes, Montecristos and Macanudos-
`far outweighs the number produced by mianufacturers. As a result, some veteran manizfacturers, retailers and
`industry trade associations say they are concerned tliat somestores -- primanlynéw entrants Uiat lack longstanding
`relationships with manufacturers or wholesalers -- are stocking products of questionable qualiry.
`
`"The retail community needsto fill their shelves with something, so there's a lendencytofill Lnkém with whatever
`they can get," said Dick DiMeola, chief dperdting afficér for Consolidated Cigar Corp. of Fart Lauderdale, Fla., the
`largest manufacturer and’marketer of cigars in the United Statés. "A guy like mie who's been in the business for 40
`years will walk in a store sometimes, and I think I'm in another world. I don't recognize any of the brands."
`
`*
`
`Last year, the demandfor cigars — especially hand-rolléd, premium ones -- leaped. Thé Cigar Association of
`America estimates that almost 3 billion cigars were sold in 1996, Based on figures compiled through October,
`more than 220 million were premium cigars, an unprecedented 67 percent increase from the same time penod in
`1995,
`
`Although the sales increase is viewed as a godsend by the once-dwindling industry, many longtime cigar
`manufacturers and retailers say the demandis giving rise to entrepreneurs with little knowledge of the business.

`HEADLINE: WATCH THEIR SMOKE
`CHIC CIGAR CLUB SET TO LIGHT UP AT 'SIXES' SPOT
`
`BYLINE: By PETER GRANT
`
`BODY:.
`The Top of the Sixes, one of midtown's oldest restaurants; has closed its doors to make way for a super-enclusive
`cigar club whose miembers include Sharon Stone, Amold Schwarzenegger and Lee lacocca,
`
`of
`
`The Grand Havana Room, which openedits first private club in Beverly Hills last year, has takén over the space
`at the top floor of 666 Fifth Ave.
`
`The club will open here later this year after it renovates tle bar and diningroom andinstalls hundreds of
`humidors for members to store their Monte Cristos, Dunhills and Macanudos which sell for as much ag $ 20 edch.
`
`The club plans to have a limit of 1,000 members, Theywill pay annual dues of $ 3,000. Members of the Beverly
`Hills chub, including Met Gibson and Whoopi Goldberg, also will be able to use it when they're in town.
`
`"Most new members will be selected by private invitation," said Harry Shuster, chairman of L.A.-based United
`Restaurants, which owns Grand Havana.
`
`Théclub is opening at a time that the cigar craze is sweeping the city and the rest of the country. Numerous new
`cigar stores have dpenéd and a growing number of restaurants ‘are beginning to offer private cigar lounges.
`
`“Ever since smoking was banned in restaurants, we've seen more places opening that are dedicated to that," said
`Howard Rosen, a broker with Grubb & Ellis New York, who worked on the Grand Havana deal.
`
`Topof the Sixes, which offérs a 360-degree viewof the Manhattan skyline, had been operating for more than 40
`years. But it grew staid andtouristy in recent years. With business declining, its owner, Cléveland-based Select
`Restaurants, decided not to renew its soon-to-eXpire lease, The restaurantclosed Monday,laying off +4 employes.
`
`" said Arthur Bocchi of Sumitomo Realty, the building's owner. "It had tremendous
`'. "We're sorryto see them go,.
`sentimental value. "

`

`
`IATELINE: Pittsburgh; PA; US; Middle Atlantic
`
`ODY:
`
`Most people buy snow tires when it snows. Not Francois Bitz.
`
`the co-founder of FORE Systems
`When the first flakés fell a few years ago,
`ne.,went out and picked up a Hummér -- for about § 80,000.
`
`Such spontaneous purchases aren't unusual for Mr. Bitz, 36, who made millions
`hen FORE held its wildly successful initial public offering in 1995.
`
`Last year, he wanted a place Downtown where he could stay overnight after
`aking in the symphony or ballet. He
`found an idéal penthouse. But
`the apartment
`asn't for sale individually. So he shelled out $ 1.1 million to buy the entire
`dilding,
`a vacant, eight-story structure. He says he'll convert
`the rest of it
`ato loft apartments to improve the Cultural District, where it is located.
`
`Well-heeled Américans are spending more and more on the good lifé. As 401 (k)
`inds bulge with assets, as stock options are granted deeper into managément and
`:aff ranks, and small business ownérs prospér,
`there's a spending spree under
`iy.
`"A lot of people have made a lot of money in stocks, so what was expensive
`2fore is less expensive now," said consither spending guru. Roger Blackwell,
`tthor of a best-selling textbook,
`"Consumer Behavior."
`
`Meanwhile, both credit card debt and bankruptcies are mounting -- indications
`iat not everyone who.is living like a king can afford it.
`
`Spending, Mr. Blackwell explains, makes people féel good. The national.
`iopping spree runs wide and deep with ordinary Americans splurging on
`g-screen TVs; Tommy Hilfiger jackets and. the newest power screwdriver.
`
`SELF ~ INDULGENCE
`
`the 1.200-acre Farmington, Fayette County,
`Néemacolin Woodlands Resort & Spa,
`treat built by 84 Lumber Co.
`founder Joe Hardy, has continued to expand during
`@ past 11 years. The latest addition is Chateau Lafayette, 124-room hotel that

`
`The cost to rest your weary head ranges from $ 275 to $ 1,500 a night. It is
`a little pricier than the resort's 98-~room lodge,
`a steal at $ 225 to $ 345 per
`night.
`
`Its French bistro offers a 10.000-bottle wine collection to quench
`high-priced thirsts. After all, a long day on Nemacolin's Mystic Rock’golf
`course -- or its polo field -- can leave one quite parched.
`
`to choose from more than 60 beauty treatments
`Or patrons can head to the spa,
`while awaiting a computer printout of a personalized fitness plan.
`
`People are spending more on places, as well. as things.Business is up 20
`percent at Trenton, N.J.'s exclusive Boehm Porcelain Studio, where U.S.
`presidents buy gifts for foreign heads of state and corporate presidents buy
`gifts for their homes. One CEO just bought a $ 150,000 porcelain flower
`arrangement.
`
`Mr. Blackwell said long-standing millionaires are moré likely to spend
`carefully on cars and clothes while the nouveau riche buy big, bright "badges"
`o£ prosperity.
`
`the former first lady's 40-karat
`the Jackie Kennedy auction in New York,
`At
`jiamond engagement ring from her second husband, Greek shipping magnate
`Aristotle Onassis, brought $ 2.5 million from a mystery bidder later revealed to
`se Tony O'Reilly, chairman of H.J. Heinz Co.
`
`the former Chryss
`the bauble for his second wife,
`Mr. O'Reilly bought
`joulandris, whose brother was briefly engaged to Christina Onassis.
`
`The O'Réillys wound up in W and People magazines for owning the rock.
`
`How does one reciprocate for such a gift? Mrs. O'Reilly, no slouch at giving,
`‘ound a way. A substantial donation in her husband's name mearis that the new
`jowntown home f
