Wine Culture and Wine Making in New Jersey
Mr Alfred Speer of Passaic New Jersey, known as the wine man of New Jerney, expects a larger grape yield this year and has reduced the price of his four year old port to bring it within reach for memorial use. Speer explains his wine differs from the usual, requiring four years to age and precise temperature changes to reach its rich quality. Large quantities of Speer's Port Grape Wine have been ordered by Ancesen and European physicians recommend its moderate use, with the product mainly sold by druggists.
