Time Warp

Has it truly been since July that we've posted anything to this blog? We have been in overdrive these days. Baking, selling, more baking, trade shows, and still more baking. We are up to 11 retailers now...so exciting! We have our Cookies & Corks at some great stores in the Northern VA area and are baking in a commercial kitchen with 2 baking assistants --- and Leah & Laura, of course!

We were also introduced into The Whole Foods Market Mid-Atlantic region...albeit just one store. We are, for now, only in the P Street store in DC. This just so happens to be the busiest store in the whole region. Great staff there. Our other retailers like Red, White & Bleu in Falls Church and The Wine Cabinet in Reston continue to re-order. We are very happy to see that.

All in all, we're very pleased with the response from the general public regarding pairing wine and cookies. It's a stretch for some, but met with great enthusiasm by most. We hope to get talking to event planners soon so they can share this idea with their clients who are planning weddings, corporate events, etc. It really is a cook party idea...not just because we said so! It goes over very well.

One of my favorite recommendations is to get a group of people together with a box of our Sparkling Wine pairing cookies, a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc, bottle of Prosecco and bottle of Merlot. Taste just the Iced Lemon cookie with all three of those wines...fabulous with each wine, yet different tasting each time. It's a cool party trick!

We'll be posting some pics soon...we've got tons to share.
Cheers!
