Well, it certainly has been an eventful September and early August. Not all of it good. Ever have the experience of “friends” turning out not to be so nice? Seems I learn the hard way…Oh well, their loss…not mine! Right? Right! Health wise seems I’m half life-ing. Like a car turning 30,000.00 miles or something like that. Getting old sucks! But I’m all back on track now and with the cooler weather approaching business has been exceptional! That alone is enough to make all of us here at Bantam Cellars feel better. Certainly the bank is happier.
Mid week business has been great and approaching a year and a half since opening we’ve done a terrific job of marketing our selves, our wine, and Amador in general. Our wine club is holding steady even with all the media hype of economical gloom and doom. Sometimes I wish I could stick my hand through the television and make them shut-up! It’s just like any storm that approaches we’ve got the weather person telling folks to stay away from the foothills…geez. Economical down turn, my ass…tell that to all the limo companies who are driving up here every weekend. Last weekend alone we saw 6 limos. Big Crush weekend we saw at least a dozen.
I’m just glad people are keeping their heads and not giving up the one luxury that really truly is a necessity! VINO! Just stay at home and cook fabulous food instead of going out to eat and open a delicious bottle of Bantam. Save your money for the important things in life even if it means wearing last years fashions.
Hope everyone is happy, healthy and wise!
