They are cutting the wall from here in the store into our soon to open tasting room. I picked out the floor and wall treatments today as well. I’ve been saying for a while that, until I actually pour someone a drink and collect some $$$, it’s an abstract concept. Seems like it might actually be real.
No, we took another storefront next door that is half as wide as our store.
The red tape was not really anyone saying “No” but waiting weeks or even months for understaffed agencies to LOOK at our application and stamp it approved. Then our planning commission hearing got moved twice for similar reasons.
Wine, Beer, Bubbles and Sake. You will enter and exit (and pay!) through the shop (that’s the hole they are cutting now) and the front door of the tasting room will be an emergency exit only. We aren’t stupid enough to let you go into the wine tasting area and then leave without going through the actual shop! That’s marketing 101.
Yes, nice bathrooms and also a retail area for accessories, hot sauces, mostarda, glasses, ect.
This is great…I can finally stop trekking over Topanga for the Woodland Hills tastings on Sat afternoons (altho’ I am heading over today for their Austrian tasting).
Oh my God…now they are vacuuming up the dust up using a huge vacuum with a plastic tip that is making a sound like the bleating baby dinosaur in one of the really bad Jurrasic Park sequels only as loud as a foghorn. It’s almost obscene!
