Country Red and Country White are now released for purchase. Availability is extremely limited. The wines may be purchased at Logan Square Liquor Shoppe in Logan County, Kentucky.

Century House Winery & Vineyards, LLC is pleased to announce the successful completion of all state and federal requirements of the small winery licensing process. Century House may now manufacture, bottle and sell wine to wholesalers or retailers by the package. All that remains is to get this year’s vintage into the bottle and to obtain approval of the Y2K wine labels. We plan on offering a nouveau style Country Blush by the end of the year, and a Country White and Country Red early in 2001.

Century House Winery and Vineyards, LLC is pleased to announce the issuance of its winery permit as a bonded winery by the federal ATF. This is an important step in reaching commercial production this fall. Remaining steps include approval of bottle labels and approval by Kentucky’s ABC.

In recognition of this important milestone, Century House announces the establishment of our Adopt-A-Vine program. For $5 you get:

	A choice of variety (currently Seyval Blanc, Vidal Blanc, Cythiana, Baco Noir, Marchal Foch, Interlaken, or Reliance)
	A choice of location (where’s your favorite spot in the vineyard?)
	A picture of you and your vine on our web site (you need to visit us for this feature – otherwise it’s just the vine)
	Email of Vigneron’s report, first notification of significant festivals, and specials
	A certificate, suitable for framing, showing you as a supporter of Kentucky’s grape and wine industry

Century House Winery & Vineyards, LLC is now registered as a Limited Liability Company.

Century House Winery and Vineyards is pleased to announce the acquisition of two commercial self contained refrigeration units for the storage of fresh fruit and processing of quality grape wines. The two units will be installed in the new winery facility undergoing construction at the vineyard site. The acquisition of these units will place Century House in a position to begin commercial wine production by the year 2000.

Century House Winery and Vineyards is pleased to announce the registration of our internet domain name centuryhouse.net and the establishment of our web page. The web page is currently in beta test mode and can be accessed via http://centuryhouse.hypermart.net.

This development allows Century House to build name recognition and communicate winery developments within the community.

Century House Winery and Vineyards is pleased to announce the successful hosting of the spring meeting of the Kentucky Vineyard Society. The purpose of the meeting was to promote the growing of grapes in the Pennyroyal region of Kentucky and publicize the KY Department of Agriculture cost share program for the planting of new vineyards. The meeting was well attended and generated favorable front page newspaper coverage in the News-Democrat and Leader.

Century House Winery and Vineyards is pleased to announce the construction phase of the new winery and grape processing facility has started.

The new facility consists of approx. 2048 sq ft enclosed area for wine- making, wine storage, equipment storage, bulk fruit processing, and a wooden toy work shop. The construction contracts were awarded to Creigton Construction (concrete pad) and Melvin Detweiller (local Amish craftsman). The construction of this facility represents a significant milestone in the start-up of Century House Winery and Vineyards.

Century House Winery and Vineyards is pleased to announce membership as a professional member in the American Wine Society. This membership marks the first time Century House is recognized as a new entity. The dream has started. Vinestock (Seyval Blanc) has been acquired which will be used to plant the first vineyard on Beechland Road in the Spring of 1996.
