Staff Change
As most of you know, Anne has left the building…she’s moving to Paris to continue her studies in Creative Writing. July 17th was her last day, so her email no longer works.

Used Barrels Needed
Art of Oak
Right now, we need 30 barrels for our Art of Oak program (we have 10 already).
I know there are some wineies out there that would love to dump off 8-10 used barrels at our warehouse – so give us a call and let’s make it happen!
40 artists will turn those barrels into works of art, which will then be auction off (for a yet to be determined non-profit). Maybe your winery or lodging would like to sponsor or buy a finished barrel – let me know..Beth@wineroad.com
