Alan Rock's Rtivia


Who was the first American to win the Nobel Peace Prize? A: Teddy Roosevelt in 1906 for being the peacemaker in the Russo-Japanese war.
Before her success in comedy, originally, what did Phyllis Diller hope to become? A: A concert pianist. She attended Chicago’s Sherwood Music Conservatory.
  To set a record that still stands today, in how many games did Joe DiMaggio get a hit? A: On July 17, 1941 Yankee’s Joe DiMaggio went 0-3 in Cleveland, ending his record 56-game hitting streak.
On a bottle of wine, what does the ‘Vintage ’really mean? A: Vintage indicates the year that the grapes are harvested. In Canada, the USA and Bordeaux, France, in order for the vintage to be printed on the label (as in “2003″ or “2007″), the wine must be made of at least 95 percent of that year’s grapes. So, if you’ve got a wine from California and there’s no vintage date, you can assume that the wine was made from grapes of several years’ harvests. In other parts of the world (and the rest of France), regulations regarding the percentage of the year’s grapes may be more relaxed.
