MONTICELLO & WINE & CO. .
This company was chartered and organized in 1873 by pioneers in grape cul- ture in Albemarle county. Encountering the prejudices which prevailed against native wines -- a prejudice not then wholly unjust, for a uniform standard of char- acter and quality had not been fixed-it met with little encouragement. The Company struggled on (with the advantages of proper cellar facilities and experi- enced foreign manipulators) in an honest effort to make a full-blooded, honest grape-juice wine, with no admixtures or deleterious compounds, and has gradually worked its way up to a recognition of true merit.
In 1878, at the request of the U. S. Agricultural Department, this Company sent, under the charge of that department, twelve bottles of their six kinds of wine for the international exposition at Paris, France. Other sections of the United States were represented there by pyramids of artistically exhibited wines, yet the final result was that seven medals were awarded to the still wines of the United States ; of these the Monticello was the only one awarded a silver medal, the others being bronze-not one of which was obtained by California. Not to mention numerous awards by State and local fairs successively given this Company in open competition, it was, 1884-'85, at the New Orleans international exhibit with three cases sent at a venture, awarded two first-class medals.
The true character of its wines and pure grape brandy is, probably, best illustrated by its public appreciation, by private consumers, who send their orders direct for these recognized to be pure, full-blooded wines. This company does not claim cheapness. It offers, at figures so reasonable as to be accessible to all, well-matured, pure fermented grape wine. Imported wine, of similar good quality, would cost double the price. It does not claim to produce the equals of the Grand Vins of Europe. Taking price and character into consid- eration, it does claim a quality at half the price of that imported, when of similar character. The white wines are Delaware, Sautern Nature ; Dry Catawba, sui generis (see Longfellow's poem) ; while the red wines are Norton's Vir- ginia, Burgundy character ; Cynthiana, first-class among the red wines at the Vienna Exposition in 1876; Clinton, aged, a superior claret; Extra Claret, supe- rior character ; Ives Seedling, ruby colored claret ; Virginia Claret, sound, plain table wine ; pure grape brandy, three summers old.
For an extended notice of the character and quality of these wines see pages 51-62 of this Handbook. Send for analyses and price list, and all orders direct to Company. Prompt attention and lowest figures according to quality. Address
