JULY

Watermelon, BBQ and CHEERS-JUICY BERRY Sparkling Wine! Just add some friends and family and you have all the ingredients for a fun occasion. Happy Independence to the USA everyone! This day of the year seems to become more meaningful and heart-centered with age. It is so wonderful to spend the whole day from morning to night enjoying games and having fun. But deeper meanings and questions for us to reflect on are: what does the USA, as a country and our flag stand for, now as a very populated country, how do we be our best and be a contribution to the community of U.S. Americans? At HW this is a time we reflect on the privilege it is to be an American and we send our love and gratitude to those who serve and have served in our military and our government services.

Summer in the vineyards is hot now. The climate of each vineyard location makes a difference on the final quality and flavor of the grapes produced. The primary influences on the grapes of course are temperatures, sunshine and water. And yet a myriad of other details will also influence the grape character. One impactful variable on grape growth is temperature-extremes. Grapes and vineyards survive and in fact thrive, when daytime temperatures are scorching but nighttime temperatures drop. Grape vines are working in the sunshine hours to plump their fruit to full ripeness, but cooling nighttime hours halt production and allow the vines a time to rest.

Look at the HW Corporate Gift Sets in CONGRATULATIONS and CHEERS if you need to send gifts to clients periodically or acknowledge an accomplishment. Order now so you are ready. Out-of-state shipping laws, extend shipping times, remember to place your orders early. As friends gather and fireworks sizzle on the 4th, we hope popping CHEERS Sparkling Wine in JUICY BERRY and DRY contributes to this special day being wonderful – Drink responsibly this day and everyday.

Cheers to you!
