Greetings FWB friends and fans.
As we head into the final week before the official end of summer 2014 we thought we’d take a moment to reflect. It’s been a crazy summer for us, as most of you know. Once we made the decision to expand our business and move to our own property at 1370 N Long Lake Rd, we knew things would escalate but nothing truly prepared us for the depth and breadth of…well…the exhaustion!
Seriously, what a journey it’s been! We truly do love it. For those of you who own businesses you get it. For those of you who don’t, it’s hard to explain but suffice it to say that the combination of exhilaration and disappointment that is part and parcel of daily business ownership is like a roller coaster. Fortunately we love to ride roller coasters!!
It’s great seeing everyone in our new Taproom, wine/beer garden or in the store, enjoying themselves and our products. It’s so fun to see people taking “selfies” by our garden boxes and just truly enjoying the property. It’s really all we are trying to do. We love chatting with everyone about our ongoing expansion into the banquet hall and we truly value the input and the help many of you have provided towards our unexpected sprinkler expense.
It may seem like a drag, closing up late, coming in early every day but it’s not because it’s ours. PLUS, we, and our amazing staff, are really enjoying the new vibe of the taproom and gardens. Our wine and beer remain the focal point and of the highest quality. If you haven’t been in yet, we can’t wait to see you and share.
We hope you guys had a great summer! Here’s to an exciting fall!
