Soft Re-Opening Of Our Salon
Come visit us! Today was the first day we opened our Salon for regular hours since before harvest 2007. This has happened because I finally hired someone to manage the Salon - Eddie Townsend, who assisted me in the winery through harvest this past vintage.Eddie comes to us from Baltimore with years of experience in hospitality and food and beverage, most recently right here in Sonoma Valley at VJB Cellars and El Dorado Kitchen. His wine interest is broad and deep, and enhanced by current studies with the Court Of Master Sommeliers.
It should come as no surprise to anyone that the wine industry has been hurt by the broader economic recession. At the beginning of 2008 I started to focus on increasing our wholesale distribution, initially with promising success. But the credit crunch caught up with distribution and things have changed. Shifting our focus back to direct sales is something we have direct control over to help us weather this downturn.
