New stuff is fun. A few of the new things we have going on around here this month:

-New Web site header....we finally changed it to a little cleaner, more modern look. What do you think?

-New events: Time for Wine Live is coming to a close next week. We will have two more Time for Wine Happy Hour events this year, but with a twist:

October 15--Time for Wine Raw, featuring Bill the Oyster Man.  You guessed it...live and bbq oysters for $1.50 each. We will also have special wine flights that pair well with oysters and Bill's amazing sauces.

October 29: Time for Wine BOO, featuring the Harvest Zombies. Who says adults can't have fun on Halloween too? Come in costume and prepare to be judged for the costume contest. Flashlight tours of the winery--be prepared to be scared. And wine flights paired with your favorite Halloween candies.

-New cool tool on our bottling line: this may not seem like a big deal, but  to us it is the best thing ever. We got a case printer tool for our bottling line. There is certain information that legally needs to be on the outside of a case....(same that is on a label). We were printing one extra label per case for all our wines. In addition, there are certain distributors, accounts, countries that need what is called an SCC code on the outside of the case as well. Ugh...it was a giant pain to put labels on these cases just for these customers. SO, the investment in the case printer made sense. And it makes things a lot easier for everyone.

Harvest is still underway. The crew is getting really busy since it was so hot last week. But it is supposed to cool down this weekend. Interesting, long season this year.
