The Adventure of the Beeswax Candle

Petry wine brings you... The taste book of Gregory Hood. Tonight's the Petry family, the family that took time to bring you good wine, invite you to listen to the adventure of the B.S. Wax Campbell, another exciting story from the taste book of Gregory Hood.

I hope you're sitting back in a comfortable chair after a good dinner. Did you try my suggestion to start that dinner with a glass of Petry, California, sherry? That's the best cherry. Petri-Sherry is the best beginning a good meal ever had.

When you pour yourself a glass of that Petri-Sherry, just look at the color, a beautiful, deep amber, then hold that glass of Petri-Sherry up to the light. Notice how clear Petri-Sherry is. Just as clear as crystal.

That you know is one sure sign of a good cherry. But only when you put that glass of your lips do you really know how good Petri-Sherry is. It has a flavor that comes right from the heart of luscious, sun-ripe and grape.

Well, and say, if you like your sherry dry, you know, not sweet, Petri makes a fine dry sherry. It's called Petri Pale Dry. If you don't know which you prefer, the regular or the dry, why not try both?

Don't buy one, buy two. But just be sure you always buy Petri. Well, it's Monday night in San Francisco, and we have a weekly date with Gregory Hood and his friend Sanderson Taylor.

Tonight's rendezvous is at one of this city's favorite and most colorful meeting places, the top of the Mark Hopkins Hotel. Let's join the mayor, shall we? Harry Bartell, how are you? Evening, Mr. Taylor. Hello, Gregory.
