Wicked is Back from Wine Kitz – Hard Pink Lemonade & Lime

Posted by Steve | March 6th, 2012

It’s that Wicked time of year again.
You know what I mean. Last summer Wine Kitz brought what turned into a runaway hit.

Wicked Hard Pink Lemonade! Well, guess what? It’s back.

Well WICKED is Back!!

This time we have HPL and Hard Lime.
If you’re looking for the ultimate thirst quencher, THIS IS IT! With zesty flavours of freshly squeezed limes and a hint of of lemon citrus. It’s a wicked blend that’s not too sweet and not too tart, perfect for cooling down on those hot summer days.

You don’t need to reserve one to get one, or many this year. I expect in-store by the end of March. If you’re on my email list you’ll know right away, or on my FB page, or my blog. If you’re not any of those just check out my website near the end of the month. I’ll post it on my blog the moment we get them in the door.

It’s going to be Wicked summer once more.
Make sure you’re a part of it.

Wine Kitz Wine Tasting. November 25, 2011

Posted by Steve | October 27th, 2011

**Update: 89% Sold Out. **

This is the one you’ve all been waiting for. We are holding a wine tasting that will knock your socks off.

I often hear from you that you’re interested in ordering one or more of our limited releases but you just don’t know what to expect. Well you do not need to wonder anymore. We are holding a gala, black-tie event (Just kidding) but it will be outstanding just the same. I will be dressed in my best Wine Kitz apparel, as will all my staff. It’s the first you’ll see all of us together in one place.

Please watch the video, it’s only two minutes long. It will give you all the details you need. If for some reason you can’t see the video, (you may consider buying a computer that was made this century), but until then just call us and we’ll be happy to fill you in on the details. I really, really want you to take a peak at the video. I know how many people watch them because YouTube has a counter and I can tell that many just won’t spend the couple of minutes watching. So please humour me and watch the video. I would really appreciate it. Share it on Facebook, tweet about it, tell all your wine making friends. It’s going to be one heck of an event that you’ll be talking about for years to come. I’d like to stress that this is a wine tasting and not a wine drinking event. Drinking and driving will not be a concern even if you’re coming alone. In fact, I’ll also have some gourmet coffee from Kienna Coffee. If you haven’t tried our coffee pod brewer yet, now’s your chance.

 

When: Nov 25, 2011

Time: 7-9 pm

Where: Varsity Acres Community Centre 4303 Varsity Dr. N.W.

(2 blocks east of my store)

There are only a limited number of seats so please get in touch with us and reserve your seat now.
