Musings & Newz Archives
June 15th 2009 - Drink some Wine and save the environment, ReCork America·we all can help. Read more at "Frank Loves Wine".
June 2nd 2009 - Well it's been awhile, ok maybe a long time·since I've written any musing or newz·about the goings on here at Wine-Fi.com . Sorry about that, got caught up in the Wine 2.0/Social Networking craze and probably joined too many. It's all fine and dandy, made some contacts & "Friends" if you will, but it's time to get back to basics here. So let's get started/caught up.
This past April was our 2nd year Anniversary, thank you all for making it possible even in this present economy. Without your support or curiosity about Wine-Fi.com it wouldn't have been possible, thank you again.
We do have quite a few new items listed and a twist on some old ideas/product out there·in the world.·
Collegiate Glassware- Wine, Pilsner & a few Martini glasses are new here. These are hand painted by Artist Alice Allred with the colleges' logo/mascot, sold in sets of 2 only and each glass comes in·it's own·Tube Style box. Don't have every College but there is a rather good selection.
Bohemian Glass Art Stemware from the Czech Republic is a new addition. These are handblown goblets that each has it's own character being hand made. We odered a set of the Crystal White ourselves and I'll tell you these are nice goblets. They do have a little heftyness to them, not dainty put up and display forever because they might break if you use them type of glasses. Very nice quality.
We have the full line of "Wine Talk" ceramics by cartoonist Bob Johnson. Have a little fun with them during your next Wine Tasting party.
There is a whole lot more here so please·do pour yourself a glass of good Wine and browse around a little. Remember now, trying to bring you as much as possible may even mean being directed to another site, but that's because I think they have cool products also.
Oh ya, the "twist on some old ideas/product" I mentioned.... so I got some Wine Barrels from Testarossa Winery in Los Gatos (daughter #1 works there). Made your standard Stave Candle Holder holding 5 volives and candles. I tried to preserve the characteristics of each Stave so each is different and not a factory/production looking piece.
Now comes the twists and a new idea.
Bottle Stoppers, Bottle Stoppers, Bottle Stoppers·- You've collected them, got them as presents/gifts and if they're not on top of a nice bottle of Wine they're hidden away in a drawer somewhere. Well it's time to get them out and displayed! New here and most likely any where else a Stave Bottle Stopper Display. I think it's a great idea, showed a few friends and family and they like it too. And·now my twist of an old idea and a·new idea.·I've taken the Stave Candle Holder idea and combined it my Bottle Stopper Display for a Combination Stave Candle Holder & Bottle Stopper Display. This holds 3 candles and· 8 bottle stoppers. Nothing like it out there in the world, I checked. I'll/you'll probably see copies of it out there soon but at least I finally beat some one to the punch. I always hated it when I had an idea·then saw it in late night infomercials·6 months later. So now we can say we saw it here first!
Well let's wrap up this update now, I will stay on top of it more. So Happy Wine-Fi'ing out there and be Safe.
