Hi, Friend of 868,
I was recently home in Mississippi to visit family and made a point to stop by an amazing independent bookstore, Lemuria Books. I am intentional in purchasing books from them to support a longtime local business, the arts and literary scene that they create for the community, and the people who own it and work there.
On this visit, it occurred to me how lucky I am that our customers do the same for us. For the choices you make to intentionally support local Virginia wine, the community that we have created, and the friendly employees who make your visit to 868 special, we thank you!
We have many great reasons this month for you to come see us - live music, trivia, a book signing with Ellen Crosby - just to name a few. If you can't make it out, but want to replenish your 868 wine supply, take a minute to shop at our web store. We'll have that wine zipping its way to you in no time!
All the best to you,
Nancy Deliso
