# 1 spot went to Carly M Fine Jewelry....your selection was amazingly presented & delicious!

The above wines of our choices were all found to have pleasing tastes to us. From the crisp, dry whites with pear notes to the rich full bodied reds with their peppery, berry scent. We enjoyed them all.
We also thank all the other business participating in this event: Sewickley Frame Shop, Sewickley Spa, Creative Hair Studio, Esthetics, Thomas Jewelers, So Ho, Pendleton, Perfect, The Jewel Theif, The Clay Cafe, Van's Aveda Salon, Bi Ali Salon, Sewickley Shoe Repair, Antiquarian, Simply Yogurt, International Images, Verizon, No Good Riding Hood, Sewickley Confectionery, Yankellos, Howard Hanna Real Estate, Big Bang Comics, Naked Grape, MAK, EM Jewelers, Cuttings, Norman's Barber Shop, Bailey & Bailey. I do hope I did not leave any one out. We appreciate your commitment to the community and your gracious invitations into your shops. We hope to next time be able to get around to more of your shops.
To the shops we had visited, your presentations were very nicely done and some of you went out of your way with the appetizers offered. Just know you all were deeply appreciated in all your efforts to welcome us. Till next time!

  1. What a great idea for a blog! Just dropping by to say thank you for following me - I am now officially following you as well. I'm always looking for a new wine to try.

    Haven't read your book yet but I'm itching to buy it since reading about it via your other blog.
