It's been a crazy busy several months fraught with indecisions, a few loud discussions and lots of blood, sweat, tears and money.
We opened our doors on Dec 5th. to try and grab a few of those holiday sales, but did not have our Grand Opening until January 10.
Here are a few photos of that fun-filled weekend.

This is really just a retail wine shop. But, we do offer complimentary wine tastings every day. It's amazing how much more you can sell once people try it.
It's not a bad job when you can go to work and drink every day.
You've achieved success in your field when you don't know whether what you're doing is work or play.

Gewels! You're back, Baby!
Everytime I go to the Grcery Store and they are set up for tasting I always buy a bottle, even though I can't drink it right now.
I'm going to send my pal Waiter Extrodinaire over here to have a drink with you!
Bottoms up! To the ladies!
