Happy New Year Fellow Winos!

We had a great time at our New Year's Eve Party (website photos to come soon) and, not suprisingly it made us think back on 2009 and look forward to 2010.

Yeah, it was a pretty good year at the Grape Life as more and more wine lovers found us for the first time and discovered the joy of sharing great wine, music and conversation with friends. 

Also new in 2009...

* The Black Watch Room was the site for our first annual Grape Life Wine Fest and nearly 200 peopls showed up for that.

* We've gotten great feedback for Saturday night "Live at the Life" series featuring free music by a wide-range of local musicians. We'll be continuing that in 2010. If you haven't been here on a Saturday night you're missing a real treat.

* We also added "Wine Down Wednesdays" where customers could come in, buy a glass of wine and get a FREE chair massage. A great way to get over hump day!

* More than 140 Quad Citians have joined the Grape Life Wine Club and were treated to some exceptional wines. In November many of them attended our free holiday party at the newly-remodeled Thunder Bay Grill and enjoyed great tapas and a tasting of more than 50 wines!

Still, we're really looking forward to 2010 and hope you are too. We'll soon be announcing a new series of wine classes and tastings, more music and much more.

Have a great year!
