[1 page newsletter, rcvd 03-Jun-1998] Lost Mountain Winery June 1998 Hello! Once again we are pleased to invite you to our annual Open Winery - an opportunity to sample this years new releases with bread and fine cheese as accompaniments. As usual, we will be here daily from 11:00am to 5:00pm starting Saturday, June 27, through Sunday, July 12. The 1996 harvest was very short for the industry as a whole due to exceptional freezes in Eastern Washington that damaged and destroyed many of the vines. Accordingly our available inventory is smaller than in past years. Some wines in particular are in very short supply. If you have a special need, please let us know and we will try to accomodate you. 1995 Lost Mountain Red - An exceptionally light and fruity version of an old family favorite. Only 20 cases available. $12.00/btl 1996 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir - The delicate balance of this wine is a great accompaniment with lighter fare and it is spectacular with fresh Pacific Northwest salmon. 140 cases produced. $15.00/btl 1996 San Joaquin County Barbera -- This old Italian grape grown for many years in California is showing increasing popularity. Wonderful with butter or cheese based pasta dishes. 93 cases produced. $15.00/btl 1995 Poesia - Our poetry series continues with Gina Hietpas' poem "New Years" and Rebecca Wild's elegant label. This classic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot is always popular. Only 50 cases produced. $16.00/btl 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon - One of the finest Washington grapes, unencumbered by oaky tannins, excellent with grilled meats and heavier fare. 89 cases produced. $16.00/btl For those who are sensitive, please note that we do not add sulphites in our wine production. Total sulfite levels are available at the winery or by phone. We hope to see you here, but if that is not convenient, the Winery will be open Thursday through Sunday from 11-5 most weekends through Labor Day, or by arrangement.
