Self-Distribution

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.

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.

Rt66 Summerside Vineyard's Wine Bottle Mummy

Mummy Spirits


Scare up some Halloween spirit by turning an ordinary wine bottle into a delightfully sinister mummy. A spooky disguise for a wine bottle -- it's a Good Thing!

Tools and Materials

Paper towels
Cheesecloth
Coffee (cooled)
Flour
Corn syrup
Glue (optional)
Mixing bowl
Craft stick
Foam brush
Mad scientist sticker
Bottle of wine

Mummy Spirits How-To

1. Dip paper towel and cheesecloth in cooled coffee. Crumple paper towel and cheesecloth; allow to dry overnight.

2. Make a solution to attach paper towel to bottle: mix together 2 tablespoons flour, 1 tablespoon corn syrup, and 1 tablespoon coffee (cooled); stir with craft stick. With a foam brush, apply a thin layer of solution to areas of bottle to be covered with paper towel, being sure to do only one area at a time because solution dries quickly. (Glue can be used in place of solution if desired.)

3. Cover bottle with paper towel, leaving an open spot to show name of wine. Cut or rip cheesecloth into strips. Take dried cheesecloth and wrap around bottle to create the look of a mummy. Use some of the paste to make cheesecloth stay put if necessary.

4. Attach mad scientist sticker.
