Life’s Big Moments
“Cherish all your happy moments. They make a fine cushion for old age.”
Booth Tarkington
Mark momentous occasions with something that stands the test of time: wine. Let us help you select wines to commemorate an occasion to be sipped right now or one that ages well to be savored at a later date.
First “Real” Job
Give wine to celebrate a first job or stock a cellar.
Promotion or a Heartfelt “Atta Boy”
Receiving a well-earned tribute for hard work should be celebrated, whether it’s a recognized advancement, an authentic compliment or simply fixing the copier un-aided. Reward someone for outstanding accomplishments!
Tying the Knot
From the first celebratory glass of bubbles to building a collection for the new couple, there are many ways to celebrate with wine. We are the only wine shop of its kind to offer this unique and impressive array of services.
Please see our Tying the Knot page for more information.
Birth of a Child
Seeking a wine with a vintage that is the same as the baby’s birth year? Please keep in mind you will need to purchase a bottle a minimum of 2-4 years after the birth to obtain wine; once available, try a big red, vintage port, or a great Bordeaux from the birth year. This wine can then be shared 21 years later.
Graduation
Wine is such a festive, grown-up way to mark this transition.
Anniversaries
Anniversaries should not be relegated to just wedding dates. Celebrate the adoption of a pet, the day a skill was mastered, or whatever is special by setting this time aside to revel with a good bottle of wine.
The Perfect Meal
Have you finally perfected duck confit or beef Wellington? Stock your cellar with a bottle or two that matches your gastronomical prowess.
Finding “The One”
So, you’ve finally found your perfect match. Buy a bottle now to present to your lovely partner at a big moment in your relationship (engagement, anniversary, wedding), an endearing surprise to mark the moment when you fell in love.
Special Memory or Event
Recollect a special place in your personal history with wine that transports you back to a wonderful time. Loved your trip to Napa, Burgundy, Madeira or Washington State? Cycled across Spain? Learned to scuba dive in Australia? What better way to reminisce than with wine that hails from that region?
Dreaming of a place you’d like to visit? A bottle from the area along with the Travel Channel is a nice pairing.
Job Transitions
Retiring or simply leaving a job for greener pastures? This transition needs to be celebrated with an equally grand wine.
Trying times
Dark times will inevitably come. The best way to hold on to hope is to find some way to rejoice in the midst of trying times. During disconcerting times, a shift in perspective may be what is needed. Keep some special “celebratory” wines with personal meaning on hand for you or others.
