Friends, Jokes and Stories

One of the better aspects of running a shoppe like ours is that we have friends who stop in, rain or shine, hot or cold.  It is of great comfort to us that this happens not only for the commercial aspect of things but just seeing a smiling face, hearing a good story during a long afternoon or having a chance to catch up on something, even if just for a second.

We become, in effect, something of the post office, barber shop, and soda fountain where stories are exchanged and retold, passed on and on, and a pretty much endless game of "telephone" takes place.  We enjoy this a lot, particularly since we have such good story tellers and rarely does anyone step foot in here with a "mean" spirited remark.  That is very nice.

As we ready ourselves for a wine tastings of some rather good and interesting "reds" from nearby and far away, we hope that you indulge us with a story when you drop in. It is cold out and a good afternoon for a glass of Merlot, warm fire, and  some bon homme among family and loved ones.

Think of a joke though...we like jokes....tell us one when you come in.
