For a web based version of this newsletter go to: http://www.hinzerling.com/newsletter2.htm Hinzerling Winery Periodic and irregular rantings from Wine Country- Late Summer '99 Life Amongst the Grapes- living the glamorous life of a grape picker, once only a dream for many, is now possible when you come to our 24th annual arvest party. What's a harvest party? We meet at the winery between 9 & 10 a.m. on Sat, Oct, 2, for coffee and noshes. Promptly at 10, we caravan to the vineyard- the progression of ripening will determine exactly where this year, but after a brief, but thorough grounding in the fine art of grape harvesting, we'll issue picking implements, and you'll go at it.. Some time between noon and 1, we'll break for one of our famous and sumptuous Vintner's lunches complete with all appropriate libations. If needed we'll finish harvesting after lunch, swamp, and head back for the winery for crushing and whatever is appropriate. Around 5, we'll have some hors d'oeuvres and a glass or two. I promise, you'll be jaded, sated or double your calluses back and guarantee that you 'll never look at a bottle of wine quite the same way again. If this sounds like fun to you, please fill out the form at the bottom of this newsletter or call us at 1-800-727-6702 with all the requisite information. This is a prepaid, reservation only event - so don't delay as space is limited. Fall Cigar Dinner- the finest way I know to relax and fritter away an Indian Summer evening. Beginning at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 11, we'll light the smoking lamp, pour a glass or two of Sherry munch some hors d'oeuvres and commence with lively and well considered conversation. Dinner will be a cholesterol enhancing BBQ with well matched wines, followed by dessert, cheese, and post courses. We'll supply the food, wines, cigars and a souvenir glass- you'll supply an accommodating attitude and the required gregariousness. Wanna get in on this?

Ashfall White is back- after months of trial blending and, tasting- yes, it is a tough job but somebody has to do it- we've come up with what I think is the best version we've ever made of this blend of Riesling and Gewurztraminer- Floral spice with overtones of citrus and vanilla, it's just off-dry with a pleasant tartness and slight astringency that makes it great for sipping or matching with seafoods and cheeses. 1998 Semillon- Tired of Chardonnays? Gewurz too spicy? I've been a closet Semillon drinker for years and this wine with it's peachy, lanolin, and clove aroma and rich smooth flavor matches many of the foods I like - Salmon ,oysters ,crab, creamy pastas and much more 1987 Die Sonne- Made from grapes that are picked, spread on trays and allowed to dehydrate and develop noble mold- this wine has been waiting patiently in a barrel for me to get around to bottling it.
