We’ve been pounding the pavement really hard recently. Sometimes you forget to look around to see what’s going on. Well today something caught me by surprise. I was looking around the website for one of our customers and came across a short description of our product.

“Señor Sangria, NV ($8.99) – Yes, Charlotte, this is the first time we have ever gotten even remotely excited about a Sangria. I’ve been following the development of this product since last year when the earnest Rick Martinez came into the store with his girlfriend (now fiancée) and told me he planned to create and market a high quality Sangria using real fruit. What can I say? It won’t compete with Chateau Latour or Joseph Phelps Insignia, but this is a delicious, all natural, summer quencher that leaves commercial Sangrias in the dust.”

Reading the description brought a huge smile to my face and also reminds me that along the way you have to stop and look around at what is happening. I want to thank Joel from Beekman Wines & Liquors (www.BeekmanWine.com | 246 Rock Road, Glen Rock, NJ) for the kind words. Joel we may not be competing with the big guys right now but all I have to say is “Senor Tinto”. Hint hint!!!
