One new vendor, three new locations – Harris Teeter!

Hey folks!

Remember when we said 2011 was going to be a big year? Well so far, it hasn’t disappointed. In the last two weeks, we’ll have added 4 new locations in Charlottesville that sell Well Hung wine. Last week, it was the delightful new place, on the western edge of town – Wine Made Simple. And this week, we’re on the shelves in three new locations – Harris Teeter grocery stores in Hollymead, Barracks Road, and out toward Crozet. It’s never been easier to shop for groceries and Well Hung wine at the same time! (Well, except maybe at the City Market…)

Harris Teeter grocery stores-
Hollymead – 159 Community St, Charlottesville, VA
Barracks Road – 975 Emmet Street, Charlottesville, VA
250 West – 545 Radford Lane, Charlottesville, VA

Cheers!

Charlottesville Holiday Market

Well hello!

Tomorrow, December 4th, is the first of our three week stint at the Charlottesville Holiday Market. This is a really fun, annual gathering – the December stretch of the Charlottesville City Market – a fantastic place to start (and finish?) picking up some holiday gifts. As always, the market is held in the City Market Parking lot on E Water Street, 212 2nd St SW, from 8 AM – 2 PM. We will have our booth with wine available for taste and purchase, and plenty of shirts, sweaters, aprons, etc. to cover yourself and loved ones. Look for us tomorrow, and on the 11th and 18th.

If you want to check out the City Market on Facebook, go ahead.
And if you wanna check us out on Facebook, that’d be great!

And if you’re not able to make it to the market, you can always get our goods online!

Cheers!

A Taste for the Holidays in Ivy

Whether you’re looking for a wine to gift this season or a delicious conversation piece to adorn your table, Well Hung wine has you covered.

This weekend, Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 21st and 22nd, we’ll be having a home-town tasting in Ivy at the Ivy Store from 2 – 6 each afternoon. Come and enjoy a taste of our fine wines, or buy a glass to sip while you shop. Of course, we will also be selling wine by the bottle as well as our whole array of clothes, magnets, sacks, what have you! And don’t forget to stay until dark on Sunday when the holiday season is officially signaled, for me at least, by the annual illuminating of the Ivy Store’s gorgeous roof-top light display!

See you there!
Cheers!

PS: While you’re in the spirit, I want to share a delightful photo sent in by a Well Hung fan…

Huggin' a bottle for Christmas has never looked cuter!

New Retailers! [Va Beach, Staunton, Waynesboro, C'ville]

Continuing to expand throughout Virginia, Well Hung Vineyard is proud to announce that five new retailers have started carrying Well Hung wine (and clothes!). Wondering where you can find ‘em?

Virginia Beach
P J Baggan – An adorable wine shop that deserves the attention of eastern Virginia. We just dropped off a few cases of wine in addition to shirts, aprons, and more. If you like wine and live anywhere in the Tidewater region, you should definitely acquaint yourself with this place.
[960 Laskin Rd]

Waynesboro
South River Grill and Wine Shop
[23 Windigrove Dr]

River City Art & Wine Emporium – Already carrying a nice selection of Virginia wines, the Art & Wine Emporium in Waynesboro has picked up a variety of Well Hung wines and posters for sale.
[407 W Main St]

Staunton
The Pampered Palate – A quaint and delicious cafe right smack in downtown Staunton, close to Mary Baldwin College. They have great sandwiches, and (obvi!) great wine to boot!
[26 & 28 Beverly Rd]

Charlottesville
The Organic Butcher – Fans of big hunks of meat in Charlottesville probably already know about the Organic Butcher in West Main Market. But did you know that they also sell wine? This is definitely the only place you need to go before having a delicious night in.
[416 W Main St]

As always, the full, updated list of retailers can be found here at http://bit.ly/hungmap. We have a couple more in the works, so stay tuned! Also, we can still ship our wine directly to you if you live in Virginia, North Carolina, Illinois, or California if you order through our online store.

Cheers!

Two classy establishments for a classy wine! Cheers!
