Fall in Love with February Wines

Happy Short Month of Winter!!

So far, we have been pretty lucky with the weather, and the really good news is making 6 week wines this month will be ready in the spring!!

Time to look ahead to what you want to have in your glass when the flowers start to bloom. Or to what you would like to be enjoying in you glass in the next month to celebrate the coming of spring.

 That’s the good news. Now here comes the not so good news. Inflation.  Craft wine making always been a terrific way to fight the high cost of living. We have been fortunate, in that, we have not had significant price increases in the last couple of years. I am sad to report, that is about to change. I am afraid I have to pass on a significant increase of $5.00 per kit across the board for 4 week wines and $6.00 for 6 week wines. I have tried my best to keep increases to a minimum, but this is beyond my ability to absorb. On your end, it merely changes the per bottle price on 4 week wines by $0.17 each. There are few things right now that can say they have only gone up that much. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

 Perhaps, taking advantage of our sales this coming month will help.

Spice up the Holidays

Happy December,

Where the heck did 2022 go? I blinked and it was over, and for a myriad of reasons, it left an indelible mark. But onward and upward we go.

We will be getting our first shipments of the special edition wines this month. First up, the Chilean Malbec Carmenere ($190.00 / batch), the Washington State Cabernet Merlot ($215.00) and the Aussie Grenache Syrah Mourvedre ($215.00). I will contact you if you have reserved one. If you didn’t, feel free to order one as I have brought lots of everything in.

We have lots of CheeseMaker kits to choose from for that special gift. Ranging in price from $45-$65. Check out Cheesemaker.ca for ideas. Almost as good as DIY wine.

We are also collecting money for the Good Shepherd. We have donated over $300.00 this year. Please consider helping, as the need has never been greater.

Also, we will be closed from 2:00 PM Dec.24th to Jan. 2nd. We will re-open at 10:00 AM on Tuesday Jan. 3rd with a spring in our step as the light will be coming back.

Here are the sales for December:
