On the road!
I am writing this while riding shotgun on the way home from a tasting event we had tonight. I am sitting here in the passenger seat under a million stars in the clear Eastern Washington sky. Amy has the hammer down so I am sure we will be home in a jiffy as long as the man is not looking for the white BMW bullet going over the mountain pass tonight. Tasting events like this are a great way for us to promote our brand and have a few hundred people tasted Eve’s Apple Pie. Tonight was a fun even as most of them are and especially because Its 5 was the only distillery there.
This was the North Central Washington Wine Awards Show. It was a bit odd to have us there but we are a local distillery and they said we could attend for free and sell booze! Those are hard things to turn down. Let me see, we are the only Distillery at the event, you are not going to charge us for the space, and we get to sell at the show? Can I have two places please?!
Normally at tasting events like this they only want us to bring a couple products. In tonight’s case they only wanted us to bring two from the distillery. We told them we were bringing 3 and then snuck a fourth in. We seriously have so many good products I do not know how they only expect us to choose two!
Eve’s Apple Pie was the big seller tonight and that is great. I cannot tell you how cool it is to stand in front of someone tasting Apple Pie for the first time. I could not be more proud as I see the look of pure pleasure come across their face and then they tell their friends. That is also a common occurrence at these things for us. Someone will walk over and tell us, “My friend said I was supposed to come over here and tasted the apple pie.”
If you are reading this blog and you have not had our Apple Pie, shame on you! I posted a link the other night to have it shipped to moist places. Taking my work for how good it is no substitute for trying it yourself. I will give you my unconditional guarantee right here. If you are a reader order a bottle. If it is not delicious I will refund every single penny. It is really that good.
I have gone to enough of these events to have the confidence to make an offer like that. Almost everyone loves Apple Pie and most of those think ours is great. Even the old guy tonight that told me how he gets his straight from the bootlegger in the hills of Skagit County, asked for a second sample.
We have another event in Cle elum next week then the wine walk in Leavenworth and the Holiday Trade Show in Spokane in September.
This is our big push for the year. Apple Pie is definitely a fall drink. Please help us spread the word to help get this small local business actually paying the creators a salary! You can go to our Facebook page and just share the page on your wall or buy a bottle online and share some Apple Pie with some friends.
Share our story the same way you would share about that great new Thai restaurant down the street or that great deal at Costco. Support local and us!
Cheers!
