February 1st is a BIG day for Summerside Vineyards, on that day we start self-distribution, that means we control when liquor stores will receive our wines because we will get it there ourselves.

 

No middle man.

Summerside Wholesale Ambassadors go to stores and get orders or stores can call the winery (918-256-3000) and order; and shortly, stores will be able to order on line.

No waiting days or weeks for the orders to be delivered. This is new and WONDERFUL so spread the word.

Summerside Rt66 Fruit Wines and Meads will be what we self-distribute at this time, they are listed below. What a great time of year for stores to know they can get Rt66 Raspberry Wine for Valentine's Day. Or Hard Apple Cider can be purchased to go with cheddar cheese appetizers. Or for a wedding shower, Orange Blossom Mean can be served because one can purchase it from their local liquor store.

We also offer to stores who carry us, Facebook* time. We have over 2000 fans on Facebook, not bad for a little winery/meadery in Oklahoma. For added support we also offer on our website Shelf Talkers** so that liquor stores and their customers will know our wines better. Some of our labels even have QR Codes *** telling more about the product.

So please contact your local liquor store and tell them that Summerside Vineyards Winery and Meadery will start tomorrow with self- distribution.

If you are a liquor store and would like a trained Summerside Whole Ambassador to call on you, just send a request or questions to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

2000th "Like" on Facebook

2000th “Like” on Facebook.

Can you believe it? We are so excited, this was a goal we made, but never dreamed we would make, come on you know you make goals and never dream they will happen (thanks Lisa). 2000 may not sound like much to you but two years ago we didn’t even know how to log onto Facebook (ask my daughter). We also had no idea how much this social media devise could help us learn and promote.

Thanks to you (if you have Liked us) this means we are doing something right. This shows us that people care about Summerside Vineyards, Marsha and Gary (owners), wine knowledge, and yes even Oklahoma liquor laws.

We have tried to post quotes about wine and mead to get you to think; a few wine/mead lessons are sprinkled in along the way to get you to try; posting of events and festivals to get you to do. Even reposting or “Sharing” events to support the great state of Oklahoma, Historic  Rt66 and yes, even other wineries.

Facebook is where we now turn to see what people are saying about us, we have learned things from those that “Like” us---things we are doing good and things that we are doing not so good and need to change.

If you have not checked us out and “Liked” us, I suggest you do it now at http://www.facebook.com/summersidewinery?sk=app_4949752878 .

And as we start this New Year we vow to continue to help educated and to support Oklahoma wines and meads.

Salute’ to you.

Christmas Cake Recipe - for those of you who can't remember last year's cake recipe.

Ingredients:  

*  2 cups flour

* 1 stick butter

* 1 cup of water

* 1 tsp baking soda

* 1 cup of sugar

* 1 tsp salt

* 1 cup of brown sugar

* Lemon juice

* 4 large eggs  

* Nuts

* 2 bottles of wine

* 2 cups of dried fruit

Sample the wine to check quality Take a large bowl, check the wine again. To be

sure it is of the highest quality, pour one
level cup and drink.

Repeat.

Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add one

teaspoon of sugar. Beat again. At this point it's best to make sure the wine is

still OK. Try another cup... Just in case. Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2
eggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit.

Pick the frigging fruit up off floor. Mix on the turner.. If the fried druit

gets stuck in the beaterers just pry it loose with a drewscriver.

Sample the wine to check for tonsisticity. Next, sift two cups of salt or something. Check the wine. Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table.. Add a spoon of sugar, or some fink. Whatever you can find.

Greash the oven. Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over. Don't

forget to beat off the turner. Finally, throw the bowl through the window.

Finish the wine and wipe counter with the cat.



Take a taxi to Tesco and buy cake..
