Greetings!
We send you this email today will bittersweet emotions. We are retiring from owning and operating a business on a full time basis! We're in the final stages of selling our business and expect to complete the transition early next week. It's time for us to spend more with our family and doing so many of the outdoor activities we love.
We are NOT moving away from this beautiful town! We love Livermore and have developed so many life long friendships here. We have some of the most beautiful weather in the country which we certainly enjoy daily! And, we live in a town which has 50+ wineries which we can go hang out for a nice afternoon!
We have so many fond memories from the 11.5 years we've been fortunate enough to serve you at First Street Wine Company! We have made MANY long term friendships during this time and have had a blast trying to make FSWC a fun & friendly place to enjoy wine at a reasonable price! While our Wine Shop may be small, our focus has been on filling our store with a collection of wines which can fulfill your wants/needs for whatever the occasion.
We thank all of our business partners, especially the Livermore Valley Wineries who provided us an opportunity to promote and sell wines grown and produced in our home town!
Both of us are going to stay involved with FSWC to help the new owners, Clive Harris & Lynn Alfaro, through the transition, especially on the buying side of the business. Clive has been a member of the FSWC team for the past 6+ months and both Clive & Lynn are long time customers of FSWC. Both have strong business backgrounds and we're confident they will build on the successful business we've built with new ideas and innovation. We hope you will support Clive and Lynn in the same fashion you have with us.
Your Connoisseur's Club wines for February are ready for pick up. We think you will be very happy with this month's selection which features a brand new release GSM ffrom the Central Coast and a Red Blend which has a California application. Two nice wines to enjoy with your Valentine's Day celebration.
Thanks again for all your support throughout the years. We hope to see you soon at FSWC, maybe we will be on the other side of the bar so we can enjoy a glass of wine together!
