Locked the doors for the final time today. The place was empty, clean, and quiet. As Kim and I stood there, all we could see was over half a decade of wonderful memories, people, and joy!
Rockfish creek winery provided a place to sip, laugh, and enjoy the company of those around us. From the ribbon cutting to closing every memory was special.
I looked at the wine racks and saw all the times I nail gunned my fingers with Jason Jess N Jason Clewis. I looked at the little weird tile cut that John Dannunzio made to help finish the floor. I saw countless live music nights, trivia nights, wine/ice cream pairing, thousands of tastings, hunderends of wine making classes, wine blending events, paint your own pallet, Christmas with the grinch, spring festivals, dirt bag ales farmers markets, and countless more events…
We have had too many amazing people step into our lives as employees and family. Too many creek club members that will be with us for the rest of our lives. So many late night laughs!
Our mission was to put sunshine in a bottle to warm your heart and make you smile! A motto we adopted from our mentors Duncan MacRae, Lorraine Lorraine Pixel MacRae, and John Rorer… Kim and I started with them at OBX Winery on April 23, 2017! They forever changed our lives for the better.
For everyone that ever heard us speak at an event, we always said that our mission was Family, Community, and legacy!
Thank you to everyone that was part of this dream come true! I’m so thankful and forever grateful!
