It's Vacant Lot
Cieaiuip IVIontli
A countywide drive to clean up vacant lots is being
launched this week. Miami residents who have complaints
about vacant lots and unoccupied property can call
579-6721 to get action. and residents of unincorporated
areas of Dade County can call 579-2920.

Fifty-two of Miami's most devot-
ed lovers of the grape had a wild
affair Sunday afternoon, tasting,
for $100 per person, 10 premier
French wines, for the most part,
older than the tasters.
The opportunity induced a psy-
chiatrist to cancel a trip to Toron-
to, a dentist to fly in from Grand
Bahama. a dermatologist to return
early from San Francisco and
housewife, Sheila Berke, to say: "I
went off Weight Watchers for
this."
Nine of the 10 vintages tasted
were Chateau Lafite Rothschild, a
tippity•top Bordeaux, which fetch-
es about $700 a case for mature
vintages of good years. Sunday's
offerings dated from 1959. 1955,
1952. 1942, 1918, 1917, 1914, 1912
and 1890.
"IT'S LIKE a symposium of 10
L'.S. Presidents," one consumer
said. Tasting organizer Leonard La-
vine, .18, a local wine and liquor
dealer. termed the occasion "histor-
ic. No one here — and these are
some of the finest palates in Miami
— has c\er tasted more than
