The Holidays Are Coming!

Unless you’re living under a rock, you’re starting to see inklings of the will-be-here-sooner-than-you-think holidays. City workers in Fredericksburg have been busy for the past couple of weeks decorating Main Street and Marktplatz, and shops are changing their window displays to include lots of red and green. Neighbors around the corner from us have already decorated their house with colored lights outlining their walls and roof. And whether you’re ready or not, holiday music will be pouring out of speakers everywhere.

We love the holidays at 4.0. Cristol decorates our tasting room with trees, garlands, and lots of purple ornaments (it’s our color, after all), and we pour glass after glass of Lost Oak’s Holiday wine (a tasty and easy red that shows up at this time every year and fits perfectly with your holiday shindigs).

We’re having a holiday Paint and Sip party on Thursday, December 5, 6:00pm-8:00pm, and our annual Holiday Open House & Sip With Santa takes place all day on Saturday, December 7. Plus, we play host to holiday parties and receptions for local groups and businesses. And yes, holiday music will be playing in our tasting room pretty much from Thanksgiving through New Years.

If you’re looking for gifts for the wine lovers in your life, we’ve got you covered. While wine is always the right size, why not give the gift of 4.0 wine tastings or, even better, wine and cheese pairings OR wine and chocolate pairings? We’ve got both gift cards and gift certificates, depending on what you’re looking to give.

For a gift that keeps on giving, look no further than a gift membership in our Wine Club. I gave my Mom a 4.0 Wine Club membership a couple of years ago, and she LOVES it. Plus, I no longer have to drink only Kendall Jackson Reserve Chardonnay when I visit my folks (not that there’s anything wrong with it…but there are so many other varietals and wines out there to enjoy!).

I hope you’ll include 4.0 in your holiday plans. It’s a great place to celebrate and enjoy great wines with family and friends. Just keep in mind that we’ll be closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day so that all the “4.0 elves” can celebrate with their own families and friends. Happy will-be-here-sooner-than-you-think Holidays!
