There are two distinctive varieties of wine produced in CiiliCornia that have won considerable popularity throughout the land. One is Zinfandel, a claret type, made from the Zin- fandel grape, which is supposed to be of Hungarian origin, but on account of the carele.ss marking of the cuttings when they were first imported into California its actual derivation is un- certain. It is a grape that bears very abundantly, the berries being small and very closely packed together, and produces an agreeable light table wine, soft and smooth. The other wine to which I refer is, Angelica, a favorite with women. In reality, it is not a wine at all, — considering that "wine is the fermented juice of the grape" — as it is made by mixing about one-third (some manufacturers use less) brandy with two-thirds grape juice fresh from the press.
