Club Reports on Death Valley Roads The roads all over Death Valley have now dried up and the Park Service is making great efforts to put the system in good travelablc condition, according to information received by the National Automobile Club. The Furnace Creek approach road is in very fine condition and the Beatty road into Death Valley, by way of Daylight Pass, is also very good.

Bu Ht to on ig sta da rd of By JOE HABERLIN Locked deep in the heart of Alameda County's golden hinterland Is the Llvermore Valley.

Guarding it from the brisk trade winds of San Francisco Bay's eastern shore Is the Coast Range. To the south is Mt Hamilton's mass; on the San Joaquin Valley side, the high pass called Altamont; and to the north the rising ridges that climax in Diablo, mountain of the meriaian. vast bowl, the Livermore Vailed leisurely spins its seasons protected from the more severe cli-matical demonstrations. And that is the reason for the position of eminence held by Livermore wines throughout the worjd. Accompanied by N.

W. Armstrong, executive of the Alameda County Development Commission, the trip began. The radiator of a 1934 Chevrolet snort ennoe was pointed through the Dublin Pass in the Oakland hills and on to Livermore. South on Street for four miles brought the huge U. S.

Veterans' Hospital into view. Across the highway was the famous winery of Cresta Blanca. To the ends of the earth. It is said on reliable authority, this citadel of quality wine is known. Since 1885, when hardy California viticul-turists were' still experimenting with grades of soil and locations, the house of Cresta Blanca has been in existence.

Cuttings of the choicest French vines, those that produced the noble golden liquid called Chateau Y'Qiicm. wer.e transplanted and they flourished. Today, the motorist can view their lineal, descendants in the comparatively small stretch of acreage from the highway to the abrupt wall of yellow hills the east. Through four score years and nine, that same fence-like spread of hills has played its role as a sounding board for the afternoon sun, literally pouring hot sunshine Into the orderly rows of vines that spring sturdily from the rocky floor of the canon of the Arroya del Valle. Beyond the weathered gateway to Chateau Cresta Blanca arc the pressing rooms, the bottling house, and the caves.

The caves, of course, possess the quality of interest. Framed in deep green three doors are set into the shoulders of the southern hill. their gates and down into the earth 200 feet, is the treasure of Cresta Blanca--the flaming treasure of the vineyards come to rest in 1000 feet of high-stacked lanes of captured and bottled sunshine. The air is cool in this great vault. The mint of generations drips from the celling.

Here it is thnt practised hrrndr-turn and shift and roll the bait'os year on year consp? ring with nature and time to create the excellence, synonymous with Livermore Valley. Here we saw every kind of wine the connoisseur desire sau-terne, haut sauturne. moselle, burgundy, modoc, reisling, chiantl red, chianti white, port, sherry, St. Julien, tnkay, angelica, zinfandel, hock; margaux, chablis, muscatel, madeira, sparkling burgundy, sparkling sautevne, sparkling moselle! And we looked at medals these vintages have vnn in ordered succession since 1889 and the Paris Exposition. Nearby we came to the Wenle Brothers estate, where Valle do Oro "Valley of Gold" products originate.

This famous house is known far and wide for its chablis and this year won the silver medal for that time at the Sacramento State Fair. Concannon. the illustrious house that goes back to 1883, unrolled its broad acres next. Haut sautern Is a special favorite of the proprietor, Captain Concannon, and thus is, readily understood the fact that Concannon vineyards captured the gold medal for this patrician wine at the State Fair. In Livermore proper, two other vineyards came to attention.

The Peimonte Winery, winner of the silver medal for sauterne, and the establishment of Carlo Ferrario, winner of the silver medal for haut sauterne. Throughout the district wore many other fine wineries, large and small, but the list would assume directory proportions lf jittempted here. Pleasanton, peaceful town nearby, was visited next. Two miles southeast of Pleasanton is the well-known Ruby Hill vineyards, under the stewardship of Ernest Ferrario. This great plant was once controlled by the Crellin estate, ffoday it still produces a complete line of fine wines.

In the heart of Pleasanton Is found the Garattl Winery, the major-dumo of which is genial Frank Garattl. Sautern is his specialty and many are the oak casks that "live: with this liquid gold. Via Sunol, over the old Mission Road, your Chevrolet correspondent drove to Mission San Jose, home of the Darrow Winery. Then the next stop was Irvington. Here, two fine wineries were Inspectedthose of the Wagner organization and Maison Riehr.

Wagner's fields produce for the New York trade, the wine being shipped on contract by the carload. The Riehr vineyards offered a different story, for this old chateau is the home of respected sweet wines. This year Maison Riehr, successor to Al-phone and John Riehr, was awarded the silver medal for burgundy at the State Fair. Driving back Into the bright eye et the setting sun, Armstrong smilingly queried, "How many acres do you think are planted to vineyards In Alameda County?" "Oh, about twenty or thirty thou-and," I ventured. "Three thousand and eight hundred! Only three thousand and ight hundred It's a story of equal CHEVROLET THE MASTER CHEVROLET Masterpiece of the low-price field THE STANDARD CHEVROLET For Economical Transportation Tahoe-Ukiah Road Nears Completion The Tahoe-Ukiah Highway between Nevada City and Trurkee is open and in good condition, reports the National Automobile Club Touring Department.

A formal celebration, officially opening the road, is to be held November 18. There is a four-mile section just west of Bear Valley that has not been completed, but this is in good condition and causes no trouble. The completion of this road has materially shortened the driving time between Nevada City and Truckee. This new route provides a very scenic trip as it passes through miles of heavily forested country, with did views of the surrounding country, then drops down into the scenic Bear Valley, ascending via gradual grades to United States No. 40, then over wide oil-paved highway to Truckee.

Central Route East Affected by Winter Owing to the lateness of the season and uncertain weather, motorists are likely to encounter adverse conditions on the eentral route via Salt Lake City and Cheyenne to Eastern points, according to the Touring Bureau of the California State Automobile Association. The southern routes, the National Old Trails, United States No. 66 and United States No. 80, offer better travel conditions at this season as the climate is milder, mountain grades are less and there is a great deal of hard surfaced road. While the mileage is greater, the southern routes are preferable for trips to the East at this time of the year.
