A detailed list of White House imported wine requirements accompanied by a White House beverage coaster.

The six-page wine list dated February 9, 1961, details the basic requirements of wine varietals and cases to have in stock for both official dinners and daily use. The list also details the varietals and case amounts to have on hand for private use during the Kennedy Administration. The last four pages of the list are composed of notes on American varietals and producers as well as the suggestion for instituting a long-term wine program at the White House.

The accompanied White House coaster is printed on textured heavy weight cream cardstock and features the Presidential Seal embossed in the center.

These items come directly from the Hirschy family. Lieutenant Hirschy was Supply and Logistics Officer for the Military Aides to the President and Officer-in-Charge of the Navy Mess in the White House during both the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. His duties also included taking care of the President’s needs on overseas trips, aboard the presidential yachts and at Camp David. Lt. Hirschy served in the White House from May 1, 1961 through May 31, 1965.
