A Few Good Artists

June — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 20:07:04 +0000

: Your Name HERE

We’re looking for a few more good artists for the Texas Wine & Rogue Art Fest. Are you interested?

We are looking for food, craft, & art vendors who compliment the Texas wines and will reflect the spirit of individuality inspired by the phrase “going rogue”. For 2010, we anticipate 20 TX wineries, 5-10 food vendors, and 20-40 artistic vendors. We truly hope to find high-quality, hard-to-find, or unusual items that are not commercially available.

All the vendors will be listed on the back of these lovely t-shirts. These t-shirts were designed by Herculiz and they will be produced by Salado Creek Outfitters.

But you must pay soon to be listed on the t-shirt! Go to the vendor registration page or send us an email.

If you are an artist and you would like to stay informed about future opportunities for selling art at Salado Winery Company, the sign up for the artists’ list http://eepurl.com/iEA7.

Thanks!

‘In Vino Veritas’ Reveals Painful Truth Of Marriage

June — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 01:41:41 +0000

I couldn’t help but pass this along…

By Abigail Van Buren Abigail Van Buren – Wed Feb 24, 2:16 am ET

DEAR ABBY: The other day I asked my husband a question and told him to be honest. If given a choice between giving up wine or giving up sex with me, which would he choose?

You guessed it. He said, “Giving up sex with you.” I think I knew the answer before I asked the question, but hearing it out loud devastated me.

I know every woman wants to be No. 1 in her husband’s life. Am I wrong to feel so heartbroken? — LOST THE BATTLE TO CHARDONNAY

DEAR LOST THE BATTLE: Not at all, particularly if you prefer sex to a full-bodied Cabernet. But now it’s time for a follow-up question: “Why?” If sex with you is less interesting to your mate than his vino, he may have an alcohol problem. Or the problem may lie in your bedroom.

One thing is certain: When you asked your question, you “uncorked” the fact that there’s a serious problem in your marriage. And now you have an opportunity to do something about it.

June — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 23:02:13 +0000

Jodie Wachsmann will be playing from 4-6 pm Saturday, February 13th. Bring your valentine and listen to Jodie while you enjoy a glass of your favorite Texas wine. No tickets & no cover charge. Do a tasting, (5 tastes $3) and check out the new almond bark we just recieved from Wiseman House Chocolates. We also have cheese in our fridge from the Texas Cheese House in Lorena.

Sorry, our Saturday night event with classical guitar has sold out. You can still sign up for the waiting list here, but I’m not expecting any cancellations. Sorry, you’ll just have to come early and listen to Jodie instead.

Sunday, February 14th we will have wine for tasting and as always art for browsing. Right now we’ve got art by John Davis, who lives in Salado. His contemporary paintings are an exploration of pop art and feature warm reds. We’re open Sunday from 12-6 so come on by.

Monday, February 15th–are you one of those lucky people who has the day off? We’re open Monday from 12-6 and as always we’ll have 5 Texas wines available to taste for the small price of $3.
