DIPLOMACY
Horse with a Track Record
</hdr><body>
<p> The crowning moment at last week's Moscow meeting was the
ceremonial toast between George Bush and Mikhail Gorbachev. The
chosen potable: Summit Cuvee, a California sparkling wine made
especially for the occasion. The bubbly blend of Chardonnay and
Pinot Noir was made by the Iron Horse Vineyards in Sonoma
County, Calif., just west of--you guessed it--the Russian
River. Gary Walters, chief usher at the White House, serving as
First Wine Taster, made the selection. "The Soviets enjoy a
little more sugar in their sparkling wines," says Walters. So
the White House asked the winery to sweeten three cases of its
Iron Horse 1987 Brut ($21). This was Iron Horse's third summit:
it was served in Geneva in 1985, when Ronald Reagan and
Gorbachev first met, and in 1987 in Washington.
