Box O' Cookies, Bottle O' Wine

The serious holiday gifting is beginning. We are slated for several appearances this month for Cookies & Corks at various wine shops and a few holiday parties. Today was a great tasting at The Wine Cabinet in Reston, VA. We love that store...owners, employees, customers, etc. We've always had a great time with wine reps there too.

See, when we show up for a tasting we generally have no idea what type of wine will be there. We come armed with some of our most versatile cookies and cross our fingers that the wine rep will be receptive to the idea of our cookies with their wine.

Our goal is to enhance the experience of wine consumption. In order to enjoy the cookies to their fullest, you need some tasty wine. It's a win-win. We pitch our cookies, they pitch their wine and the happy customer walks away with a bottle o' wine and box o' cookies. A great gift, a great evening, a great luncheon, a great book-club...you get the picture!

At the tasting, people were picking their favorite cookie and asking which wine (of those the rep had) would be best with the cookie/pairing box. Or, people were picking up wine from the rep and asking which box of cookies were best with that particular bottle of wine. Either way we were all happy...cookie ladies, wine rep, wine store and most assuredly the customer.
