As we approach our six month anniversary here at OAKLAND YARD, I’d like to express our genuine gratitude to all of you who have helped us get to this point. Daniel and I have spent most of those months sniffing, sipping, spitting, and staring into our laptops; working all the time, knowing there is more work ahead, rarely taking the time to say: ‘this is what we love to do, and thank you for helping us make it happen.’
We have so much to be thankful for. We appreciate your kind words and smiles, your commitment to supporting small local businesses, your interest and openness toward wines you’ve never tried before, and your wacky hairdos. We like your well-behaved children, your tattoos, and your many dogs. Thank you for all of the good vibes, the crazy stories, the funky shoes, and for caring where your wine comes from and how it’s made. Thank you for all of that and more.
Saturdays and Sundays are the most fun for us at Oakland Yard because there are no wine deliveries, no sales calls, no emails, and far less spitting. I’m so tired of Daniel by the time Friday rolls around, I’m ready to chat with just about anyone else. No, but really, weekends we relax a little, and we invite you to share some laughs, to learn more about and enjoy the fascinating liquids we peddle here on 40th street. We’ve got fun tasting flights lined up for every Saturday and Sunday afternoon this month, and we look forward to seeing you and enjoying your company.
This SATURDAY Sup! Street Food will be parked out front on our sidewalk, serving up several flavors of amazingly delicious summer rolls, which will go nicely with the Vinho Verde Rose, Torrontes, and Pinot Noir Flights we’ll be pouring! Come by for all that goodness from 2 to 5pm, and we’ll thank you in person.
