APOLOGY to verizon.net and gte.net email customers.  My ISP, INFINITY  
INTERNET (Vancouver, WA), is still having problems communicating with  
Verizon.  This has resulted in my emails being delayed, or in some  
cases, never being delivered.  Infinity Internet claim they are  
working the problem, but maybe it will help if some of you bug Verizon.

SPECIAL WINES

As last year, there will be no “normal” flight.  Instead we will  
offer several “Premium Pour” wines that you can purchase individually  
by the taste or glass.  A discount will apply if you sample them  
all.  Below is the provisional list of wines.  It is subject to  
change if any of the wines sellout before Friday evening.

1. FATTORIA PARADISO 2001 VIGNA delle LEPRI SANGIOVESE RISERVA – this  
wine proves excellent SANGIOVESE is not restricted to TUSCANY.  This  
SANGIOVESE di ROMAGNA SUPERIORE RISERVA comes from the eastern part  
of EMILIA-ROMAGNA, mainly to the southeast of Bologna - $30.00/ 
bottle, $3.50/taste, $6.00/four ounces

2. CAMERON 2004 “ABBEY RIDGE” PINOT NOIR – This year saw a big  
increase in the price of Abbey Ridge.  The price is a result of  
supply and demand; there was very little made, and John Paul has sold  
it all.  Come and find out if the wine is worth its new price -  
$47.50/bottle, $5.25/taste, $9.50/four ounces

3. PERRIN & FILS CHÂTEAUNEUF-du-PAPE 2003 “LES SINARDS” - produced by  
the Perrin Brothers at Château de Beaucastel, this wine from the lush  
2003 vintage includes fruit from the famous property and other  
vineyards owned by the Perrins - $32.50/bottle, $3.75/taste, $6.50/ 
four ounces (Note: we also have the just-released Château de  
Beaucastel 2004 Châteauneuf-du-Pape at a “futures pricing” of $80;  
further deliveries will be about $95)
4. CHÂTEAU TALBOT 2002 SAINT-JULIEN – This BORDEAUX “Fourth Growth”  
missed a beat with the 2002 vintage, producing a very forward wine  
rather than its normal style wine that can age for many years.   
However I think this is a great wine to drink now, and represents a  
bargain price for a Talbot - $42.50/bottle, $4.75/taste, $8.50/four  
ounces

5. SPRING MOUNTAIN VINEYARD 2002 NAPA VALLEY RED WINE – why they just  
call this a red wine I do not know as the wine is 99% CABERNET  
SAUVIGNON and 1% PETIT VERDOT.  It could not be more different from  
the Talbot – $50.00/bottle, $5.50/taste, $10.0/four ounces

TRY THESE FIVE WINES FOR $20.00
(a $2.75 discount)
