Future Valentine Days Warning!
 This memo is for all winery customers, significant others, to be aware for future Valentine Days. It is suggested that you do not forward this newsletter into the social media world do to the obvious fall out for us slackers.
This past Valentine Day a young man (for his own protection will remain nameless to protect from unwanted marriage proposals and hate mail) contacted me about reserving the winery to celebrate with his wife. I told him we were closed. He respond, "I know, I want to surprise my wife with something special." (I quickly assessed my own personal plans with Cindy...none... better up my game.)
As you can see from the photo they are a lovely couple that has put undo pressure on us all. No Cindy I'm not reserving a Tuscany vineyard for next year.

Trip
Advisor Website rates Sand Hollow Winery!
This past week a couple from out of town came to visit the winery. As usual I asked them how they heard about us. Typical answers are; customer recommendation, road sign or a google search pop up. They found us on
Tripadvisor.com looking for places in the area to go and the winery was came up third recommended site to visit. That was nice but I wanted to know who was one and two! He pulled up the site on his phone to show me. Well,,,there is little chance the winery is going to surpass one and two anytime soon. Considering they both have been around for quite sometime. Let me add I'm OK with being ranked behind
them.

Guess which building under major renovations?
That is correct one of these buildings will have major renovations done to it. By the end of the month you will be able to see Sand Hollow Speakeasy and the iconic Lil Bear grocery store like you have never imagined. These changes have been a long time in coming and will bring a new look and possibilities for both. As progress proceeds we will share photos with you. Exciting times in downtown Newark.

Speakeasy new password is "Maryland"
The last password was "temperance".
Two big groups in support of Prohibition were the 'Women's Christian Temperance Union' and Anti Saloon League. These groups were fundamental in raising support for Prohibition from their creations. The 'Women's Christian Temperance Union' in 1873 and the 'Anti-Saloon League' in 1893. They published numerous cartoons, posters and leaflets across the country. When coming to the speakeasy go to the door that has "Mr. Speaks Office" knock and give the current password "Maryland" when the peek door opens.

Live Music on Friday's with Greg Greyson!
 Greg Greyson Hartz, professionally known as JazzHat is now performing under his own name. Greg Greyson will continue to share the same unique blend of soft rock that has entertained audiences from Chicago to Nashville. We caught up with Greyson in the studio and he had this to say,
"I've had a lot of fun with the JazzHat persona. But I think for some it was a barrier to the music, expecting me to play straight up jazz (which I don't). Performing as Greg Greyson will let me connect more directly with my audience".
Greyson plays original music straight from the heart and captures powerful emotional experiences we all share."
Stop by The Speakeasy Friday 7- 9:30pm to hear Greyson and enjoy a glass of Sand Hollow's finest!
