The Bulletin

By Eric WilsonNew York Times News Service

NEW YORK Wheres the flood, guys?Judging by the number of bared ankles appear-

ing on the streets this summer, the rolled cuff lookof 2009 appears to have become the rolled cuffepidemic of 2010. Legions of young men, includingones who are not bicycle messengers, are rolling uptheir pants legs to such high-water lengths that oneis tempted to inquire where exactly the auditionsfor the Huckleberry Finn revival are being held. Astyle born on the shores of the Mississippi has beenreinvented for the streets of Bushwick.

Its almost like a masculine shabby chic, saidTom Julian, a fashion consultant and the author oftwo mens style books with Nordstrom.

Every five years or so, the fashionable male dis-covers some styling trick to make the same old thingwearable in a dandy new way the deep jeans cuff,the double-flipped, shirt-sleeve cuff and the nextthing you know, men are trying it in Midtown.

The newest look, a lightly pinched cuff that shouldfall about an inch or two above the ankle, is likely aresult of two factors. First, the skin-baring shrunken-suit style popularized by Thom Browne has, by now,become as acceptable to the mainstream as flat-frontkhakis. And second, the glorified boat shoes and ret-ro canvas sneakers on the market seem to cry out tobe worn with pants that will show them off. (A third,less likely factor might be the heat.)

Art of the roll

Elizabeth Lippman/ New York Times News Service

Charles Gariepy wears cuffed, green One byLevis pants over Dockers shoes. The latestlook for young men is a rolled cuff just abovethe ankle. The roll has to feel a bit uninten-tional, said Jim Moore of GQ.

By Douglas QuenquaNew York Times News Service

It can be hard enough to decipher the term or-ganic when it comes to food. Are there hormonesin that skim milk? Did those chicken wings getenough exercise?

But when it comes to personal-care items like tooth-paste and body lotion, claims like made with organicingredients or authentically organic can flummoxeven the greenest consumer. No federal agency po-lices organic claims for personal-care items at leastnot yet so manufacturers have been able to usethese customer-pleasing terms loosely and liberally.

But now, Whole Foods Market is blowing thewhistle.

Organicor not?

Deidre Schoo/ New York Times News Service

Whole Foods Market will stop selling productsthat claim to be organic but are not officiallycertified as organic as of June 2011.

We ordered wine at severalCentral Oregon restaurantsto see how the poursmeasured up

By Eleanor Pierce The Bulletin

O

rdering a glass of wine at a res-

taurant can be a surprising exer-

cise. Sometimes, when the wine

arrives, the portion is hefty, almost fish-

bowl-worthy. Other times, its surprisingly

skimpy, leaving you to think, Thats all?

With so many different styles of wine

glasses at restaurants and bars, it can be

hard to tell how much youre really getting.

To see how different glasses of wine

measure up, we sent 18 testers to nine res-

taurants around Central Oregon, measur-

ing cups in hand. All of our testers went

out on one weekend, and they all used thesame model of measuring device.

What we found is that the pour you get varies de-pending on where you go or, perhaps, on the serveror bartender.

For both red and white wine, the average pour wasjust more than 6 ounces. In one instance, we wereserved 5 ounces, in another, 8 ounces. Nearly everypour was more than what the Oregon Liquor Con-trol Commissions training programs recognize as adrink.

A drink equivalency is 5 ounces of wine that hasan alcohol content of 12 percent, according to JimWhychules, a Central Oregon-based certified OLCCalcohol service permit trainer.

Sherri Griffin, assistant generalmanager at Pastini, was surprisedto hear about the 7-ounce pourwe were served there.

That is a little larger pourthan we normally do, she said.I dont know if it was just thebartender, but normally we pourabout 6 to 6 ounces.

She said a glass with the idealpour marked on it is kept near thebar, and bartenders are encour-aged to set the glass theyre pour-ing into next to the marked glass.

We try and make it just as con-sistent as possible, she said, notonly to control costs, but so that cus-tomers will know what to expect.

At Jacksons Corner, wine bythe glass is served in stemless,juice-cup-style glasses.

We just use kind of an old Ital-ian-style wine glass, said man-ager Aaron Christenson. Justsomething people used to drinktable wine out of at home. Its

less about the quantity and more

about the feeling of it, I guess.Christenson also said that since

Jacksons Corner is a market aswell as a restaurant, it sells bottlesof wine at market prices withouta corking fee. Theres one bottleavailable for only $6.50, a bargainby restaurant standards.

A lot of places use that samewine and will charge $6 for aglass, he said.

By glass or by bottle?If you plan to drink several

glasses of wine at a restaurant, orif several people in your party aredrinking the same wine, you maywant to order a bottle. But if youdont know the size of the pour ata restaurant, it can be hard to fig-ure out which is the better deal.

A standard bottle of winecontains 750 milliliters, or 25.36ounces. If the restaurant pours 5ounces in each glass, youll get a

little more than five glasses out

of a bottle. So if the price of thebottle is less than five times theprice of a glass, its a better dealto order a bottle. For instance, ifeach glass of wine is $6, and thebottle is $25, you might want tobuy the bottle.

However, if youre looking ata 6-ounce glass, youll get justmore than four glasses out of abottle. For a really hefty pour,like the 8-ounce pour, youre onlylooking at about three glassesper bottle.

Another thing to consider: OLCCregulations allow you to take theunfinished wine with you, thoughthere are some stipulations.

Rudy Williams, deputy directorof the OLCC, said the restaurantis only permitted to send unfin-ished wine home with a patron ifthe wine is consumed with a mealand if the patron (or patrons) donot show any signs of intoxication.Whychules also said the wine

must be in its original container,

with the cork securely in place.

BYO booze

Under Oregon law, an estab-lishment with a liquor license canallow customers to bring theirown alcohol in, so long as theestablishments permit allows itto serve that type of alcohol. Forinstance, the law forbids bringinghard alcohol into a pub that is onlylicensed to serve beer and wine.

However, most restaurantsand bars will only allow patronsto bring in wine.

Most licensees dont wantpeople bringing in anything totheir licensed premise, Williamssaid. If theres a problem, sayif the customer gets drunk andgets in a car accident, the restau-rant or bar will be accountable,just as it would be if it had soldthe drinks from its own stock.

Many restaurants charge a

corking fee if you bring in your

own bottle of wine, anywherefrom about $5 to $15 or more.There are exceptions: In Bend,Jacksons Corner and The Black-smith restaurant dont chargecorking fees, and Zydeco offersan exemption to its $10 corkingfee for your first bottle of Ore-gon, Idaho or Washington wine.

Williams said that for specialoccasions, some people may tryto get a restaurant to allow themto bring in their own bottle ofspecialty spirits.

You may have that 50-year-oldbottle of scotch that you want tocelebrate (with), he said. But un-like with wine, OLCC law doesntallow you to take the unfinishedbottle home, Williams said.

If you spent a lot of money on(the bottle), I would keep that inmind.

As cropped pants have be-come such a style, this is an easyway to get around shorteningyour pants by three inches, saidJosh Peskowitz, the style editorof Esquire.com, who had rolledup his pants that very morning.Its noncommittal.

Getting the roll right is harderthan it looks, and the experts dif-

fer on technique. Julian suggestsrolling one inch of cuff threetimes for cotton canvas trousers,and a single two-inch cuff fordark jeans.

For slightly looser pants, likechinos, Peskowitz advises creat-ing a peg by pinching the fabricslightly at the front during therolling process. Starting from thebottom, you flip once, making assmall a fold as possible, then twistthe front of the pants leg by aboutan inch, then roll twice morewhile holding the pinch tightly.The pleats should stay in place.

You want to make sure thatboth are pointing inward forthe left side, fold it to the right.For the right, fold it to the left to stay symmetrical, he said.I just figured that out a couple of

weeks ago.By the way, there are severaldonts. No formal shoes. Norolled-up skinny jeans. No woolpants the rolls wont stay. Nobootleg pants, which should beburned anyway. And since rolledpants are meant to look casual,nothing about the outfit shouldbe dressy, at the risk of lookingtoo studied. While youre at it,stop trying so hard.

Jim Moore, the creative direc-tor of GQ, said the goal shouldbe to look nonchalant, since youdont want to make the roll soperfect that it draws attention.The roll has to feel a bit uninten-tional, he said.

RollContinued from E1

Its what most peoples livercan process in an hour, he said.Some places pour more, somepour less.

The resultsThe heaviest pour we were

served, at 8 ounces, was at OliveGarden in Bend.

General Manager Jerry Mi-chaelson said employees are sup-posed to serve close to a 6-ounceglass of wine, poured to about aninch from the brim.

Were never perfect, he said.Id love to say were perfect. Wedo our best to ensure what ourguest pays for, they get.

In addition to the large poursat Olive Garden, our testers wereserved free samples of wine be-fore ordering. Michaelson said thesamples are allowed under OLCCregulations, and they help custom-ers make a selection of a wine theymay not have tried before.

If theyd like a sample, theyare welcome to do so, he said.We never generally do morethan a couple. Were not going topour six samples.

The smallest pour we wereserved, at just more than 5 ounc-es, was at downtown Bends TheWine Shop and Tasting Bar. Man-agement at The Wine Shop did notreturn calls from The Bulletin.

We also visited Bend restaurants900 Wall, Jacksons Corner, Keba-ba, Pastini Pastaria, portello win-ecafe and Zydeco Kitchen & Cock-tails, and Chloe at North RedmondStation (see chart, Wine pours atlocal establishments).

Portello, 900 Wall and Chloepoured between 6 and 7 ounc-es, and Pastini Pastaria pouredabout 7 ounces.

Kebaba, Jacksons Corner andZydeco all poured close to a 6-ounce glass.

Kebabas front-of-the-housemanager, Kael LeGuyonne, saidstaff at the restaurant use basiccatering glasses and pour justfar enough below the brim that

patrons who order at the counterwont spill on their way back totheir table.

He said the restaurant hasntput much of a stress on wine.

We only put two reds and twowhites on the menu, he said.We do have a bigger cocktail listand a huge beer list; wine hasntbeen a huge focus.

Mike Millette, the operationsmanager at 900 Wall, said hisservers and bartenders shoot fora 6-ounce pour, and he counts onthe experience of his staff to getit right.

Weve also got areas in the barthat are indicators of how it shouldbe poured, he said. We have ar-eas where theres some tape ortheres a mark, and all the glassesare of equal size, so the servers

can aim to pour to the mark.But to be sure that guests are

happy, he said, We know we al-ways err on the higher side.
