CAROUSEL  NEWSLETTER

**************
Boy, did we get caught with our 'bottles empty'. Thanks to all our great customers, we just sold out much faster than expected.  Marion is working over-time trying to get our Red Tiger Red, White Dove White and Riesling back on the shelf.  Not to mention we have 3 new wines to release, if we just can make the time.  Will anounce the releases just as soon as we can.  Thanks for being so patient.

WHAT'S NEW
Can't believe it's been a month since we returned from our Caribbean Wine Cruise!! What a beautiful trip - just to get out of the cold for a week was great.  We had sun, sun and more sun, but the temperature was pleasant.The Islands all have their own unique beauty and charm. 
The Carnival staff was fantastic and the food, unbelievable.
We had a great group, and the only problem was, not enough time to really get to know them all.
We will be planning more  trips in the future,
so stay in touch.
