More exciting than I can tell you….the white wine is bottled and we actually sold our first bottles! We bottled 149 cases the weekend of my birthday and set up a little winery setting at the Forest Grove Farmer’s Market on Wednesday, May 27th!
It was sociologically interesting to me to be there …. people make eye contact but don’t come over unless they are invited so I said “Would you like to taste some of our wine?” about a thousand times and was amazed that I felt sincere about it each time! Not everyone wanted to do it but everyone was gracious. The first bottle sold quickly…a man came up, tasted, asked the price, said “I’ll buy that…” and I said “What? Say that again? Did you say you wanted to buy a bottle???” I can’t imagine what he thought but he laughed and seemed pleased when I told him he was our very first customer! Jim and I drank a toast to him at dinner late that night!
