Thanks a Ton for Supporting Giving Tree!

Thanks to our Giving Tree helpers, we provided help to 84 families this year!

In addition to toys, we also provide warm coats, boots and snowpants where they are needed. And some kids love their new clothes just like they love new toys. One mom reported that her little boy was so excited over his new coat that he hugged it as he fell asleep. That's right, he treated it just like a new, snuggly teddy bear.

That's how Giving Tree spreads the love in our community. But we couldn't do it without your support!


We say Goodbye to Wine Lady Laura and Hello to Wine Lady Michelle

Wine lady Laura retired from the store as of January 1st. Many customers had a chance to wish her well at December's Meet and Greet wine tasting.

Please join us in welcoming Wine lady Michelle to the Village Market. Some of you got to meet her at that Meet and Greet tasting.

Michelle comes to us with 15 years of experience in the wine industry. She's worked with distributors and opened a small specialty wine store. She also worked at a large grocery chain as a wine steward. She has a Level 2 certificate from the Wine and Spirits Education Trust (WSET). This is a word recognized authority on teaching about wines.

Michelle shares a couple of key ideas with Laura:

  • Drink what you like
  • And combine value and taste when choosing wine
So come in and meet Michelle. If you want to get to know her better, just ask about her dog, Finnegan.

If Michelle is not in, you can still leave notes at the wine counter desk.
