Here I am in Las Vegas and there’s a wine bar in the lobby of the hotel I’m staying at called the Hostile Grape, a strange name for a bar. I would have changed it to a Hospitable Grape but the name hasn,t dissuaded wine lovers from flocking to the place. It’s pretty cool-you can try any number of fine wines by paying a fee in self serve pouring stations. The wine is fresh and if there is a particular favorite, you can get a bigger portion by adding some more money. There is also a huge wine tasting tomorrow at Ballys. This morning there was a champagne tasting out on the strip at 10am. The city that never sleeps me included! Jack

We’re hosting a yard sale and donating profits from our sales of coffee on Sat. April3rd andSun.April 4th for the Harwood Project Graduation. I’m heading up to the health club to do a wine tasting after a yoga class. There’s still some room left! The class is from 4-5:15 with wine to follow. Call583-6700 for details.  Jack

In like a lamb...out like a lion?

I hope that all of you are enjoying the mild weather and all of this new snow. In like a lamb, out like a lion this March? We’ll see! A reminder that we are back to our 8am-6pm schedule every day. We’ll probably move to a 7pm schedule Monday through Saturday sometime in June. You can order sandwiches right up to 6pm- provided we still have bread. We were delighted with our first collaboration with the East Warren Community Market on Saturday February 20, 2010. We are hoping to have a spring beer tasting on Saturday March 27th with the East Warren Community Market, as well as a collective Easter scavenger hunt on April 3rd and 4th. Spend $75(on non-sale items) upstairs in the More Store and receive 2 FREE movie tickets to the Big Picture Theater. Come on in and check out the new spring arrivals. Later this month, we’ll be receiving David O’Rielly’s highly acclaimed Own Roe and Sineann wines. We’ll get his Murphy’s Law line of red, white and rosé. Great value for these outstanding blends but limited. We would love to save you a trip to Waitsfield- if you need basic grocery items (even just a tiny amount), we’ll do our best to accommodate you. From baking supplies to spices and produce, we can help with that missing ingredient. Just ask the deli or at the register. In Waitsfield people guess when the outhouse will plunge into the pond, around her it’s when the front vestibule comes down? Any Guess’?

What's going on at the Warren Store?
