Maine Wineries Out of Business

Vintner's Cellary Winery went out of business the end of June 2009

Royal River Winery has now also ceased operations.

Whatever Wine I have on hand is all that will be available.

Wine Club Anyone?

Mark of Club OTR and I are discussing starting a Wine Club.

The Wine Club will have monthly meetings at Club OTR in the private function room. There will be food and wine samples as part of the meeting. Estimated Cost for each person at the meeting will be $35 and this includes the food & drink as well as use of the room.

There will also be a wine tasting notes available, a person to pour and talk about the wines, and a chance to order them from Downtown Gifts & Crafts.

We're thinking that the meeting will be on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday and that the club members will pick which of those (3) nights are preferred.

Space is limited to the first (20) people to sign up and make a committment. Monthly Credit Card billing can be arranged; however, 10% discount will be given to anyone that pays the full year in advance.

I'm wondering if there is anyone out there that would be interested in going on a Wine Tour Trip to Italy in the Spring of 2010?

Looking for (12) to (15) people to travel to Italy for (7) to (10) days.

If there is enough interest ... I would see if we could actually visit some of the wineries that I already have here in the store, as well as other local wineries.

If enough people are sincerely interested ... I will work on further details, dates and possible itineraries!
