Join us Tomorrow Night for our Biggest Wine Club Member Shopping Night Ever!!!Category: VIP's Only | Permalink Published: Thursday, March 11, 2010 Wine Club Members, the Oscars may be over, but our Red Carpet Premiere Shopping Night is just around the corner and we are so excited. So excited, in fact, that we wanted to get you excited with us by divulging a little more of what you can expect to enjoy this Friday night. This first ever "Oscar-inspired" Shopping Night event is going to be different than the typical Shopping Nights you've seen in the past. We are thrilled to have you participate with us and get in the Hollywood theme by dressing up in red carpet styles if you choose too. (Please note that dressing up is not required at all; but all of us at the Winery will be dressed in glitz and glam so feel free to join us!)
As you pull up to the winery, be prepared to strut up our red carpet and into our spotlighted Tasting Room as Ponte Paparazzi snap shots of your grand entrance. Start the evening with a glass of our sparkling Moscato at the door as you are welcomed into Shopping Night. Be the first to see our new spring line of merchandise as you and your guests enjoy tray passed hors d'oeuvres, live music reviving some old Hollywood tunes, and 30% off all Ponte wines and merchandise in the Marketplace. As everyone knows, a movie is not the same without popcorn. So, to really get in the Oscar movie style, we will have gourmet popcorn samples available from Brandini Toffee and Hampton Popcorn Company. So, where are the celebrities you may ask? Just look for those familiar faces behind the Tasting Room counter pouring your wine. Paula Abdul, Johnny Depp, Cameron Diaz and Catherine Zeta Jones are just a few that you will encounter at this star-studded event. Don't think the red carpet roll-out stops there! Like any great Oscar party, we have some winning Ponte stars to feature. Making their 2010 debut at Ponte Winery we have our 2007 Dolcetto, 2007 Petite Syrah and 2007 Tempranillo. Wine Club Members will enjoy exclusive tastings of these pre-released wines. We hope you are as excited as we are for this Friday. So go through those old prom gowns and dress-up bins, style your hair, smack on your lipstick and join us at Ponte Winery's Red Carpet Premiere Shopping Night this Friday, March 12th from 5:30 - 8:30. Shopping Nights are for Wine Club Members and their guests only. If you don't want to miss out on all the Wine Club fun, join the Club. See you tomorrow night! Cheers! By Lindsey Dick

Post a CommentJump to Top Planning Tip: Escort/Place CardCategory: Wedding Vines | Permalink Published: Wednesday, March 10, 2010 Are you planning on using various colored rhinestones for your escort/place cards? You know what I mean, right? Using your wedding colors, you can select rhinestones to denote what entree each guest will receive. For example, a hot pink rhinestone might represent beef and a black rhinestone might represent fish. 1. You can pick up rhinestones in various colors at your local Michaels or various craft stores. Why? If the rhinestone falls off, your wedding planner will be able to tell which color rhinestone is missing and can easily replace the rhinestone with the extras you have provided. Problem solved!

Thursday, February 25, 2010 @ 6:07:08 PM Congratulations - it looks great! Cant wait until it is done and I will be there to personally checking it out! <3 Post a CommentJump to Top Yes, this is The Dress!Category: Wedding Vines | Permalink Published: Thursday, February 18, 2010 Trying to find the perfect wedding gown to wear on your special day can be a challenge, but when you find your dream gown, it's well worth it. You know it's THE DRESS when you don't want to take it off and you feel compelled to continue staring in the mirror. This was just the case when I accompanied one of my bride's for her fitting at The White Dress. I've been wanting to post these photos for a while but had to wait until after the wedding to make sure her fiance (now husband) would not get a peek of my bride in her amazing Amy Michelson wedding gown before wedding day. Ladies, if you can't take the dress off at the store AND you are smiling ear to ear, then this is a sign that you have found THE DRESS! Happy Dress Shopping!

Post a CommentJump to Top Wine'n & Rollin'Category: Wine Club Tales | Permalink Published: Monday, February 15, 2010 It's been proven: a moderate amount of wine is good for the body. It has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, certain cancers and slow the progression of neurological degenerative disorders like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. But can wine, specifically Ponte wines, mend the cuts and bruises of a Roller Derby queen? One Ponte Wine Club Member thinks so. Rolling in from Laguna Beach is OC Roller Girl, Amanda Kiley. A Wine Club Member since August of 2006, Amanda, who goes by "Kay" on the rink, comes to Ponte to heal her cuts and mend her bruises with glasses of her two favorite wines, Beverino and Nebbiolo. A former Ice Hockey player, she practices three days a week and has two Roller Derby games a month. "It's a very physical and brutal sport," Amanda says. "We have women from 18-52 and every one of us expects lots of bruises." Originally from Baltimore, Amanda is also a massage therapist; a trade that also helps heal her body and soul after Derby games. In May, she and her husband, Keegan, plan to move to San Diego where she will begin schooling for Oriental Medicine and Acupuncture. "I very much believe in Holistic Medicine," she says. "My husband and I want to work in underprivileged areas inside and outside of the U.S. to bring this form of medicine to those who would not be able to afford or not have access to Western Medicine Pharmaceuticals." Traveling outside the U.S. is something Amanda is very familiar with. She enjoys visiting places like Romania, Fiji and Antigua, and mentoring women as one of the head trainers for her team. A girl of many hobbies, it was actually one of them that brought her to Ponte in the first place: to celebrate their Scuba Diving certification, Amanda and Keegan spent a day at Ponte. "My activities pretty much describe me to a tee," says Amanda, who has been described as a "Cali girl with East coast flair." "Scuba Diving is my peace, Roller Derby is my fire and traveling is my flow. Life is just meant to be enjoyed." We hope that you will get the chance to meet Amanda. We're sure you'll be inspired by her energetic and resilient personality as a Roller Derby Girl, traveler and healer!
