Ever notice that people that are in the food/ beverage/ hospitality industry are never excited about the big holiday weekends? That's because, while YOU have off to play with your family and friends, WE are working... A LOT.
For winery people, not only are the tasting rooms bustling with events and promos, but in September, we are smack in the middle of crush (harvest). This means that grapes are coming in that need to be made into wine; with constant attention and care during fermentation. We are also making more space in the winery for the wave upon wave of grapes needing to be processed. THEN we have the wine festivals. Whomever decided that it was an ideal time to have a huge wine festival when we are all at our wit's end in not just one city, but two (Albuquerque & Las Cruses), should be tortured by a long slow death... of restricted wine.
Needless to say, we are happy to do what we do and love seeing all your happy faces at the festivals and our tasting rooms. This is a time when people flock to their favorite local spots and enjoy an extra laugh or two. We know that you work hard for your money and when you choose to help us live our dream by spending that money at our place, it not only makes working extra over the weekend worth while, but warms our hearts. Thank you for making us a part of your holiday!
* followup to my 2 previous posts about dieting...you simply can NOT diet on a holiday weekend. Also, I am typing this with a glass of wine in hand. I know all of you are drinking this weekend and it isn't good to drink alone so I'm having a glass of wine "with" you. You're welcome.
-Cheers from the Vivác Winery Family!
