Well Hung Vineyard

Sorry, everyone, for neglecting this part of the website for so long. Lately, all of the words I’ve been putting forth on the internet have been to our Twitter and Facebook page. But this space here is important – I promise to be better about posting upcoming events well before they happen and broadcasting recent product releases (like the 2010s we’re putting online very soon) using “the blog”.

Thanks for stickin’ with us. Thanks for swingin’ by. And, of course, thanks for enjoying the Well Hung wine.

Cheers!

Hey folks!

We’re pleased to share with y’all two newsy items: 1) there’s a new wine store in town! and 2) it carries Well Hung!

Today is the grand opening of Wine Made Simple (check ‘em out on Facebook here). Wine Made Simple is a great, female owned, decidedly unpretentious new wine shoppe in Charlottesville where nothing is priced over the $20’s. How great does that sound? I feel a bit like we’re kindred spirits, so we’re very excited that they’re all stocked up on the Well Hung Everyday Chardonnay, Verdot/Merlot, and Cab Franc. In a little while we’ll be heading over there to partake in the opening festivities, lasting until 9 p.m. tonight, featuring complimentary food and wine tastings. Let’s give this place a warm welcome! Hope to see you there!

You’d better believe it’s on the map!

Wine Made Simple
2214 Ivy Rd., Townside Shopping Center, Charlottesville, VA

Cheers!

And keep a lookout for a couple big new retailers we’ll announce soon….

For Virginia wine fans (and I known y’all are out there), there is perhaps no event more spectacular than the Virginia Wine Expo going down next weekend (2/25 – 2/27) at the Greater Richmond Convention Center. The Expo is really something to behold; if you’ve never been before, treat yourself to over 350 wines (note: Well Hung and your liver do not endorse trying all 350 wines) from over 60 Virginia vineyards. If, like us, you’re veterans of the event, than you know it’s not to be missed and you probably bought your tickets weeks ago and had the weekend excitedly marked on your calender since last year. Coming to an event like this just to sample one vineyard is pretty ridiculous… unless that one vineyard is Well Hung, in which case we totally understand and encourage you to save $10 by buying your tickets in advance right here! When you’re walking around the giant space with your Grand Tasting Pass, we’d love to have you stop by our little booth to try our dazzling array of wines and also check out some new products before they hit our online store. If for some reason you can’t spend all Saturday (11 – 6) or Sunday (11 – 5) trying different wines, don’t worry! The Virginia Wine Expo also has some very interesting sounding seminars and tastings scheduled over the weekend (which I would totally check out if I could sneak away from the booth long enough).

If you need any more information about the event, go ahead and check out the Virginia Wine Expo website- there’s a wealth of information on all of the different events, including the Governor’s Cup Grand Tasting on Friday night.

We certainly hope to see each and every one of you there! You can bet that in any free moments, we’ll be doing some Tweeting, so keep an eye on our Twitter account if you want up to the moment info and just maybe an insider deal or two (*hint hint*).

Cheers!

What fun and creative fans we have!

When I look at a Well Hung bottle, I see a bottle. But the Well Hung patrons who recently emailed us these images saw something more.

Pretty cool, eh? It’s a lamp! It’s recycling! It’s Well Hung! It’s so many things I love. (Resisting the urge to make an “I love lamp” reference… [too late!]). Don’t expect it in our online store anytime soon… but you can feel free to make your own!

Cheers! And we love hearing from you guys! Your ingenuity and spirit always impresses us.

Hello dear readers! I wanted to let you all know about a special (and our very first!) sale, going on now at the Well Hung online store: all short and long sleeve T-shirts are now $5 off! That means short sleeve T’s are just $15, and the sleeves will just cost ya $5 more. This sale will only last until Valentine’s Day (just 3[ish] weeks away), so shop now!

And if you want to be among the very first to hear about more sales, events, products, and so much more fun stuff, be sure you follow us on Twitter and “like” “us” on Facebook!

Cheers!

Here we go. The first delivery just went to Escafe restaurant. Drop in to taste our first press of Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc.

This is an exciting time for us here at the Well Hung Vineyard. Come in to Escafe, or stay tuned for upcoming venues to buy a glass or a bottle. We will be offering Well Hung wines to the Charlottesville Wine Warehouse, Greenwood Market, Tastings, and Escafe. Let us know when what you think about our first year’s wines.
