Take a Peek: Eight-One-Five
	The debut of Smoky Hill Winery's Eight-One-Five Port, Founder's Legacy, was Saturday, July 15, 2006. From the first moment this special wine was tasted, we knew it commanded a special container and special handling. After a long search, a 500ml cobalt blue bottle was selected. The triangular shaped Palazzo bottle is imported from Italy. With a lightly textured surface and beveled edges, it is heavier than a normal bottle, giving a nod to the distinct uniqueness of the contents.

The label is not really a label at all, but rather has been etched by the glass artisans at the Hemslöjd, (Swedish for handicraft) a Lindsborg, Kansas business. Hemslöjd has etched thousands of pieces of glass for promotional items and special events, including 600 wine glasses to celebrate in 2002, the 90th birthday of the late Julia Child. Eight-One-Five is the first production wine bottle they have etched. A series of photos showing the production steps to create the bottle may be viewed here. Designed with the idea that the bottle will be a desired collector's item for Smoky Hill wine lovers, the government warning label may be removed by the customer when the contents are emptied. A cobalt blue glass stopper is available for $6 to complete the bottle for display. Eight-One-Five was hand-bottled, and a private release party for those that had reserved this release of less just 320 bottles on July 15, 2006. Check availability of remaining Eighth-One-Five Legacy Port here. This limited edition port is only available at Smoky Hill Vineyards & Winery in Salina, and our outlet stores in Wilson and Wichita. It retails for $72.99.
