In Vino Veritas

Dave, our head of Wineology, and I were talking about the meaning of Veritas (the name of a wine I picked up in Croatia on a recent vacation). That led to a conversation about the phrase "In Vino Veritas" which translates to "In wine, there is truth".

Beautiful.

I mean it is a warehouse!

Occasionally we have birds that fly in to the store. This morning a bird tried to get out by flying through the glass window near the front of the store. It stunned itself and fell behind the barrels. Andy came to the rescue by taking the shirt off his back. He trapped the bird and carried it safely outside where it proceeded to fly over to Home Depot.

Good luck, Bird Friend!

Pallets waiting to be unloaded and put away. It's a busy day here at Exit 9 Wine & Liquor Warehouse... we had 3 large tractor trailers here this morning. We unloaded all three trucks and now we have to put everything in its place!

Our Employees of the Year Brian (2011) and Pasquale (2012) use creative ways to stock the shelves. Don't worry. No wine was actually thrown and no bottles were harmed in the taking of this picture.

Typo of the day

1 pottle of prosecco

Though I did look it up and apparently a "pottle" is actually a form of measurement equal to about a half a gallon! That's a lot of prosecco!

Chris to a customer on the phone, "Everyone has different tastes, some people like their wine refreshing and wet..."

ooo wet wine! What a novelty!
