Are Your Grapes Smiling?
Sunday, August 3rd, 2008Many people have asked me how the The Smiling Grape Company name came about. I’m trying hard to remember…it could have been from that dream where I was dressed as a Roman Emperor and a smiling Carmen Electra was feeding me grapes or was it that lightening strike moment of genius after too many glasses of a New Zealand Pinot Noir? It could only be a name better than Slurp & Spit International…
The Smiling Grape Company name seemed ideal as:
- My nickname has always been “Smiler” and yes, it’s true I’m always SMILING - it must be the wine
- Wine is made from a GRAPE (quite a few) or so I was told by a customer last week. Also a big thank you to Andrew who brought me his latest batch of runner bean wine to taste (my eyes are watering just thinking of it…)
- Er…we are a COMPANY
Wow…it’s that simple!
Keep smiling and drinking the wine!
