Flying Fish Wine Continues Steadfast Support
Of Ocean Conservancy
Invites consumers to enter sweepstakes for a chance to win a trip to
Costa Rica to help save endangered sea turtles

SEATTLE -February 9, 2009-Since it was first released in the United States nearly five years ago, Flying Fish wine has proudly donated a portion of proceeds from every bottle sold to Ocean Conservancy to help protect endangered sea turtles. During the months of January through April 2009, Flying Fish is thanking consumers for their support by giving them a chance to win a trip for two to Costa Rica to experience the magic of sea turtles first hand.

"Six out of seven sea turtle species remaining on earth are either endangered or threatened," said Vicki Cornish, Vice President of Marine Wildlife Conservation, Ocean Conservancy. "In addition to Flying Fish's ongoing efforts, the Flying Fish Costa Rica Sweepstakes will help further bring to light the need to protect sea turtles and their vital habitat. Thanks to the long standing generosity of Flying Fish and other donors, we are making positive headway in our efforts worldwide."

Costa Rica's coasts are home to dozens of important nesting beaches for four turtle species-leatherback, green, hawksbill, and olive ridley. The once-in-a-lifetime grand prize trip will give the winner and his or her guest an opportunity to work alongside researchers in Costa Rica's exotic setting to measure and tag these amazing sea turtles, patrol beaches in search of nesting and hatching sea turtles, tour a butterfly farm, go rafting down the Sarapiqui River, watch red hot lava flow down the sides of an active volcano, relax on white sand beaches surrounded by rain forest and fly through the rainforest on zip lines. Round trip airfare, in-country transport, lodging, guides, activities and most meals are included.

Available nationwide, Flying Fish is recognized for both its goodwill efforts and its excellent quality. Most notably, Flying Fish Riesling 2007 earned a double gold and best of show at the 2008 San Francisco International Wine Competition. Flying Fish sales were up 23% in 2008.

Crafted from some of the finest vineyards in the Columbia Valley by esteemed winemaker Gordon Hill, Flying Fish Merlot and Riesling demonstrate the outstanding quality of wine from Washington. Flying Fish uniquely captures the spirit of Washington with its distinctive aromas, flavors and classic Northwest artistry. Flying Fish wine's partnership with Ocean Conservancy is in honor of the waters that are home to the great salmon that travel thousands of miles from the ocean up the Columbia River past several of the Flying Fish vineyards each year.
