Last week was our official Grand Opening. I have to say that it was a great success!

On Friday evening we hosted all local hospitality folks for free wine tasting, great local cuisine and Olea Farm olive oil tasting. We featured three of our unique blends and a couple of our single varieties. Our 2006 Grenache was a highlight for sure, followed by our 2004 Syrah and 2005 Slipstone Rhone blend. As limited as our parking is everyone made it here, and home safely!

Saturday was outstanding! We had guests waiting outside our doors before we even opened. Hoy was here with his family to shake hands and talk wine. Paul even joined in on the action and gave each guest a quality experience. From 3:00pm until a little after closing we had the same delicious cuisine of paella, rosemary pork and penne pasta to pair with our wines. Everyone who came through left very pleased with at least two bottles of wine. The entire day was a huge hit!!

Sunday was another busy start with lots of people treating their fathers for the day. As expected traffic lessened toward the end of the day giving all of us a chance to recuperate from the rest of the weekend.

Overall…incredible success! Thank you all for your support!
