We're Twittering, we're Blogging, we're Selling, we're making new wines too

In the old winemaking days.... harvest the grapes, make the wine, trade with friends and neighbors, keep some in the cellars for guests and family. Simple enough to be sure.

Now we're right into all nature of marketing and selling: through our "Tasting Saloon" at the winery in Oliver (the trade calls it "farmgate"), through sales to the best restaurants (licensees), independent wine stores and retail outlets, and to friends who learn about us and become welcome customers at the winery... and so it goes on. We're Twittering, we're Blogging...we're Selling... and we're making a whole new batch of wine for cellaring for next time around.

When I learned about the location/winery etc. back in 2007 until our opening day in late Sept. 09 it's been a wonderfully fulfilling grind. At my age when everyone is kicking back down south somewhere in the winter and back and forth to here in the Spring, Summer and Fall, I've become a bonifide winery, "Proprietor" and tucked away at the old farmstead with Katie, our Head of Security, Rusty (do you think we named our "muted- calico cat" rescued from the Penticton SPCA after the name of the winery?) getting organized for the Spring, dashing to Vancouver for tastings... 

delighted to share those tasting notes next time 'round
