GORBAN'S FAMOUS WINES

MOUNT LEBANON VINEYARDS. ESTABLISHED 1902. Wines which have won highest awards in competition with the produce of the world’s vineyards are made at Corban’s Mt. Lebanon vineyards at Henderson. Gold and silver medals, representing first and second awards of merit, were awarded to these products at the New Zealand and South Seas Exhibition at Dunedin. As the firm’s show exhibit illustrates, all kinds of wine are made, including invalid port and sherry, which have been supplied to the Auckland Hospital for the past fifteen years. The wines, which are made from the choicest grapes, are thoroughly matured in the wood in extensive cellars, and Corbans are in the proud position of offering the discriminating public wines up to 15 years old. For years it has been the policy of Corbans to get into personal touch with as many of their clients as, possible through the medium of their representatives, but with the enormous growth of their business Corbans find this impossible- In view of this, Corbans. take this opportunity of wishing their many faithful clients a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Let Corban’s Wines assist you in generating and dispensing this good cheer during the Yule-, tide season. Finally, we wish to emphasise to our clients and prospective clients the necessity of forwarding their Christmas orders immediately to avoid any possibility of disappointment caused by delay in transport.
