Spreading happiness in the form of wine
Last time I had a chance to post, it was about the joys of harvest. Making wine is fun! It smells great! It tastes great! You feel great working hard to accomplish a goal! You look great, getting strong and fit after all those punchdowns! The sunsets are great from the winery! You know what else is great? Sharing this magical beverage with others.
It is so special to be able to make something and then hear how much people enjoy it. Honestly, most winemakers don’t get to send out wine and talk to customers. Marketing departments and sales teams usually hear the good stuff, like "it is an incredible wine. I am so thankful you still have it in your library. A bottle is going to my 85 year old dad for christmas who is obsessing about this wine!”* At larger wineries, winemakers don’t pack up the bottles and send them to you, your friends, clients, and family. Most of them probably wouldn’t want to. I love that our winery is small because I get to do that. I feel like Santa Claus, sending treats to all the good boys and girls**.
Making wine is great. Making people happy is even better. So what do I want for Christmas? To spread more cheer. To be Santa. Head over to the webstore, shoot me an email, or give me a call, and let me make the holidays brighter for the people on your list.
Happy Holidays!
