Baron Philippe chose the never-before-seen Picasso work, titled "Bacchanale", for his 1973 vintage wine for two reasons: first, it was die year of the artists death. It was also the year Chateau Mouton-Roths- child was officially desig­ nated a "Premier Grand Cru", culminating a life­ long struggle by Baron Philippe to have his wine given top designation. It marked Hie first and only time a change had ever been made in the revered 1855 official classification of Bordeaux wines. -The Picasso work had been acquired some time earlier by Baron Philippe with the provision it could not be used on one of his wine labels until after Pi­ casso's death. When the artist died, Baron Philippe believed the combination of Picas'-' so s' stature as a painter and Chateau Mouton- Rothschild's official recog­ nition deserved a special label. * ' V '• • He designed one using the Picasso painting that was a radical departure from the labels normally associated with his other vintages. The 1973 design emphasizes Picasso's paint­ ing, joyously associating the triumph of the brush and that of the vine. The 1973 Chateau Mou­ ton-Rothschild retails for about $25 a bottle, depend­ ing on state and local taxes, and makes an ideal holiday gift for family or friends.

A Home-Spun Holiday In Countrified Leather Going home for the hol­ idays has become an Amer­ ican tradition as men* women, and children board trains, planes and buses to spend the Christmas season with their loved ones.

Whether family < mart or country-Casanova,' you'll want to be outfitted in cold-weather leathers that keep you looking sharp yet feeling toasty-warm on the turkey trail, duck shoot, or searching out the tallest fir tree. This season's country cas­ uals in natural, sueded jackets and shearling-lined "mountain coats" ̂ with big, cozy collars are the perfect woodland wrap fcr hunting down the traditional turkey dinner. And for blazing trails or just plain exploring the wonder of the great outdoors, the Sole Leather Council suggests the West­ ern boot, soled in genuine v leather, "the leather sole is flexible, to bend and stretch with the foot as it makes tracks over rough country • y roads, and it "breathes" to keep feet dry and comfort- • able, no matter what the weather. Inside, leather relaxes in- to casual leisure suits of 'U sueded pigskin or a hooded » f; pullover over flannel -trous- V ers -- perfect attire for sit­ ting around a crackling fire, sipping spiced cider and V singing a few carols. Un­ derfoot, leather makes a step in the traditional di- rection with demi-boots strapped and buckled at the ankle or a traditional tassel-trimmed loafer, in soft, glove leather in rich muted tones. v; mm- np If you're homeward- bound for the holidays, the Sole Leather Council ad­ vises, wear head-to-toe leathers to keep you com­ fortable and warm for the traditional festivities, both indoors and out.
