Hello, friends! Just an FYI that our next wine dinner will be held at Swinger’s Grille on Thursday, August 20th. This is one of my favorite restaurants in town. I’ve attached the menu for the evening for you. It’s all about pairing with my personal preference for gorgeous wines: CHILE!!!

EXPANSION PROGRESS:
Well, we’ve been told that we can begin to build out on August 15th which is great to have something to begin planning with now.
We’ve been collecting all these incredible vintage furniture pieces for seating and scored big on a handmade, inlaid, 23ft. bar and all of the commercial pieces to go with it recently. Let’s just say that my poor mom and grandma’s garages/living rooms are in a bit of disarray right now.
Beginning to select all of our craft beers, wines, and create our cocktail menus right now.
We’ll be needing your help coming up. Due to the lovely economy we are still having difficulty getting financed. Soooo…we’ve decided to come up with our own “creative financing” and are having an A. RENEE EXPANSION STIMULUS: ONE “SHELL” OF A PARTY event coming up. I’ll be sending out more details on that to come, should be a GREAT time and help us get the bare bones of what we need to finish it up and bring a very unique, adult escape for your entertainment purposes. Thanks again for all of your support to get us here :0)
WHAT’S NEW?:
LOTS of new chocolates from BISSINGER’S: Pumpkin Malt Balls, Pumpkin Bark, Wine Tasting Chocolate Bars, Goji & Guava/Pink Grapefruit Organic Gummy Bears, Courvoisier Truffles, Caribbean Spice Drinking Chocolate, and more!
TCHO CHOCOLATES: Brand new fair trade, organic line of chocolates. Roasted Cacao Nibs, Dark Chocolate Macadamia Nuts, Dried Mango, and Honey Roasted Cashews. Delicious!!
WIND AND WILLOW: New mixes – Bacon Stuffed Mushroom, Jalapeno Jack, & Chocolate Chip. Also, Carmel Butter Rum, Chocolate Amaretto, & Key Lime Strawberry CHEESECAKE mixes. SINFUL!
WINE:

Blanc – CA, Elizabeth Spencer Sauv. Blanc – CA, and much more…
Lastly, WILL WORK FOR WINE shirts are now in and are waaay cool. Local artist, Susan Palmer, did a custom piece for us on the back that will capture quite a few laughs. Grab one for only $20!
In closing:
“If all be true that I do think, there are five reasons we should drink. Good friends, good times, or being dry, or lest we should be by and by, or any other reason why.” Unknown
Agreed…Cheers to all of the reasons why!
