Oh, hey there ...
It's been many a week since I sent out my last email letting everybody know that my son Brandon joined the store (pic with my father years ago).
There have been comings and goings: Brandon is fast finding his feet here. My father, who had a true wine mine, has left us, which is sad - but it was time after 91 years of a good life. He was tickled when I decided to open a wine shop and always wanted to stop by when visiting Oakland before he and my mother moved here four years ago.
I wish he could have understood that Brandon had joined us as that would have been something he would have loved.
I know that I do.
In other comings and goings vendors stop in and leave, new bottles continue to roll in at higher prices than before (dratted inflation), customers stop by and many have graciously noticed pics of Pop and commented before leaving the shop. Bi-monthly Thursday Tastings have been fun and $2aturday's full glass of wine has been welcomed by many since we introduced that a few months ago.
Speaking of which, stop by tomorrow if you want to practice your French with a Proveçencal Rosé and a Languedoc red blend being poured for $2 each).
September has turned into August - oops, I mean October, full of fog and portending cooler afternoons and evenings, which leads to more red wine consumption than in the last several months. We're subtly tweaking our inventory to accommodate that but don't worry we'll still have plenty of rosé, white and bubbles on hand.
Halloween and soon thereafter Thanksgiving and Christmas will be upon us.
How can this be. I thought it was mid-summer, how about you?
I guess Time rolls by and Life goes on.
Thankfully!
& we thank you for your support.
- David, Elizabeth, Brandon
and Pop.
I appreciate service providers that take time to understand the property rather than immediately recommending a standard package. A small house, a multi-entry building, and a commercial space may require very different equipment arrangements. When researching Security System Installation Near me, customers can prepare a list of their concerns and ask how each one would be addressed. This makes the consultation more focused and helps clarify the expected results.
A stressful roadside situation becomes easier to manage when the next steps are clear. Drivers should prioritize their safety, describe the vehicle problem, and determine where the car should be taken. Learning about Car Towing Service in Folsom, CA can help residents prepare for an unexpected breakdown instead of making decisions in a hurry. Asking about estimated arrival times and confirming the drop-off address can also help keep everyone informed.
I appreciate services that make it possible to plan transportation around the needs of the traveler. Some journeys require a direct transfer, while others involve multiple stops or waiting time. Looking into Limo Service In Sugar Land TX gives residents a starting point for discussing their itinerary and choosing an arrangement that fits their plans.
A decorative concrete floor can work well in spaces where property owners want a balance between practical use and visual appeal. Staining may be suitable for patios, garages, and selected interior areas when the surface is appropriate. Exploring Stained Concrete Jacksonville FL can help residents compare design possibilities and understand the care required for their preferred finish.
I like advice that reminds property owners to evaluate a repair before deciding how to handle it. Different problems may look similar but require different solutions, so a careful assessment matters. People looking into Handyman Services in Fountain Valley, CA can prepare a description of the issue and discuss the expected work before moving forward with maintenance or improvements.
