GOLD SEAL "SPECIAL DRY"
CHAMPAGNE
THE unique popularity of this splendid
champagne is due to a careful selection
of ripe, luscious grapes and expert
blending. In delicacy of bouquet, sparkling
brilliancy and rich maturity, it is unequaled.
He who loves good wines gives our 'Spe-
cial Dry" a prominent place in his cellar—
the strongest endorsement any wine can
hope for. Because of its unusual fragrance,
perfect blending, and absolute purity, we
>?, recommend "Special Dry to every-
^Sfijgi, one, as the brand most in favor,
and suiting the average palate.

THIS is the home of Gold Seal Champagnes, the largest
Champagne house in America, at Urbana, New York,
in the heart of America's finest grape-growing section.
Here Mother Nature has provided all that the heart of
the vine-grower requireth. A sunny clime, age-mellowed
vines, and a rich soil—all these the Urbana Wine Co.
possesses, on the shore of Late Keuka. And to them
they have added a manufacturing plant, and time-tested
methods, such as Europe's famed wine-houses cannot ex-
cel. Everything that makes for the production of rich,
wholesome wines, is to be seen here. Naught that time,
custom, or the wisdom of vine-growing, wine-making men
est
P1
have revealed is omitted. ^ Reader, this booklet is the
Urbana Wine Co.'s personal invitation to you to come
see this quaint, luxury-producing plant. You shall taste
such wines as would have made Bacchus rejoice. And,
more — you will receive a hearty welcome, and all the
gentle graces of American hospitality. On page 15 we
show the location of Urbana. All good roads in west-
ern New York lead to it. We want you to see it. It will
repay a visit — for he who has not seen the home of Gold
Seal Champagnes has omitted one of the joys of travel.
Come to Urbana! The latch-string is always waving in
the breeze.
