Its
our 9th
Anniversary, but
you get
the gift!
Dear Christina,
 For
the last 9
years, Satek
Winery has been
making
award-winning,
locally-produced
wines, and the
worst-kept
secret is that
you, our loyal
patrons, are
behind our
longevity. So
to celebrate our
Anniversary and
to thank you for
your support, we
will again be
giving away one
free
limited-edition
Anniversary wine
glass for every
two bottles
purchased, now
through July
11th. Every
year we offer a
new glass
style, and this
year's is a
unique stemless
9-ounce red wine
glass (pictured
here), to
complement last
year's stemless
white wine
glass. And yes,
if you purchase
4 bottles of
wine, you get 2
glasses. Buy 8
bottles, we give
you 4 free
glasses. If you
get a case of
wine, well--
you'll certainly
have a great
party!
From all of us
at Satek Winery,
have a wonderful
and safe 4th of
July!
Slainte!
-Chrissie

Speaking
of wine glasses...
If you've
been a patron of
Satek Winery for
many years,
perhaps
you've built
quite a
collection of
our
Anniversary wine
glasses over
time. So what
to do with all
that wonderful
stemware when
its only you and
a friend
drinking wine
one fine
evening? The
possibilities
are endless, but
our owner Larry
Satek knows the
rich history of
a unique
application that
may just be,
well-- music to
your ears...
Armonica: the
art
of
wine glasses
as
musical
instruments
Many
people
know
how
to
make
a
wine
glass
"sing".
(In
case
you
don't:
take
a
moist
finger
and
apply
it
with
a
little
pressure
to
the
edge
of a
wine
glass
while
moving
the
finger
in a
circle
around
the
rim
of
the
glass.)
However,
many
people
are
not
aware
that
the
whole
story
involves
inventor
Ben
Franklin
(yes,
that
one),
and
world
renowned
composers
Wolfgang
Amadeus
Mozart,
C.
P.
E.
Bach,
Ludwig
von
Beethoven,
and
Richard
Strauss
amongst
others--as
approximately
400
works
were
written
for
musical
wine
glasses
between
1761
and
1835
before
the
instrument
faded
from
the
public
favor. It
has
had
a
recent
revival
including
works
as
wide
ranging
as
Spock's
Theme
in
Star
Trek
II:
The
Wrath
of
Kahn
and
Star
Trek
VI:
The
Undiscovered
Country
to
Pink
Floyd
in
part
one
of
their
1975
version
of
Shine
on
you
Crazy
Diamond
to
an
episode
of
The
Simpsons
(a
Prokofiev
piece
from
"Peter
and
the
Wolf").
Richard
Puckeridge,
an
Irishman,
is
typically
credited
as
being
the
first
to
play/popularize
music
on
wine
glasses
set
up
on a
table
around
1740.
Ben
Franklin
took
the
idea
and
made
an
instrument
with
a
series
of
wine
glasses
fixed
horizontally
on
an
iron
rod
and
driven
with
a
treadle
much
like
the
old
sewing
machines,
giving
over
3
octaves
of
beautiful,
haunting
sound,
and
giving
the
musician
the
ability
to
play
up
to
10
of
the
ethereal
notes
at a
time.
An
original
Franklin
instrument
is
on
display
at
the
Franklin
Institute
in
Philadelphia
and
another
at
the
Bakken
Museum
in
Minneapolis.
Mozart
wrote
two
pieces
(an
Adagio
K356/K617a,
and
an
Adagio
and
Rondo,
K617)
and
collaborated
with
George
Handel
in
the
Hercules Oratorio.
Beethoven
wrote
a
piece
for
a
play,
Leonore
Prohaska.
Richard
Strauss
used
it
in
his
1919
opera,
Die
Frau
Ohna
Shatten
(The
Woman
without
a
Shadow),
Bizet
used
it
in an
opera,
Noe',
and
C.P.E.
Bach
wrote
Sonata
H.643
and
Sonatina
H.491.
And
there
are
many
other
well
known
composers
who
contributed
to
the
library
of
Armonica
music.
So
we
have
yet
another
way
to
enjoy
a
glass
of
wine!

Satek

of
Armonica
music,

of July 1st, the new
Indiana law will be in
effect whereby all
