CHEF’S APPEAL
“Keep my 5000-dollar car, but please return two bottles of rare wine,” the gour met and television chef, Graham Kerr, said in an appeal to car thieves, according to a cable message from Sydney. But if they decided to keep both, Mr Kerr gave the thieves this advice on how to drink the wine: “They should draw the cork in the bottles an hour before they drink it so the wine can breathe. Then they should serve it with a dish of braised pheasant”. Mr Kerr said the car, an Alfa Romeo, was insured, but the wine, the rare Grande Hermitage 1952 vintage and one of the most famous wines Australia had ever produced, was absolutely irreplaceable. There were very few bottles
of it left and these would be in private cellars, be said.
