As of 9/15/10, the whole area experienced a large spike in new cases. “Large” as in Kenosha reporting 220/100K new cases when the running average had been 7/100K.
So we are tightening our operating plan:
We are asking that all tastings be the 6 for $5 To Go Tastings. We will be a little flexible, but please work with us.
Also, please pick up a Tasting Sheet and/or Flight Idea Guide and make your selections before coming up to the bar.
Please have non-tasters wait outside, including children and people ‘just looking’. We’re trying really hard to limit exposure – and you wouldn’t bring children to a bar, would you?
We’ve added a Waitlist.Me waitlist to the bottom of the website page. Please bear with us, this will be a learning experience for all of us. The ‘reservations’ are turned on, but that’s so you can put yourself at the top of the waitlist in advance – we aren’t doing firm reservations.
So far, we’ve only needed a waitlist for Saturday afternoons – but we shall see.
The hours on the website had gotten reset back the winter hours. I’ve fixed them – Fri 12-5, Sat 10-5, Sun 12-5. Limited tastings. Low on Orchard Oriole Perry and Antique Russet. New Gin and 3 Year Old Brown Dog Whiskey.
Summary: as we are By Appointment this time of year anyway, we will continue accepting Appointments – but for pick-up only. No tastings.
If we have multiple requests, we’ll space them out so people don’t overlap. And we’ll see what May brings.
We’re also revisiting Direct to Consumer shipping. I’ll post if we get a system set up.
These are both novel and trying times. Certainly there are few among us who can share memories of 1918. And I certainly hope the world is more capable than a century ago. Take care of each other and stay healthy.
OK Folks, I did some updates this morning: 1) Fall Hours added 2) New Tasting Pricing, $10 for all Winery products 3) Updated Menu with Bluebird Barreled Cider, Antique Russet Still Cider, Bumbleberry Dessert Wine, Chestnut Aged Pear Brandy, Maple Smoothed Raspberry Brandy and pulling some sold out products.
