Are you preparing a special meal tonight for your special someone? Don’t screw it up by serving a subpar wine.
Good thing Robert from Vine Box has your back! His warm, casual friendly approach to guiding you to the proper wine pairing is a delightful experience.
Vine Box Winestore is offering handpicked selection of well-made and fairly priced wines. They believe that wine is an important part of the meal enhancing the food’s taste. That is why they arranged wines by their structure and flavor profile; starting with light-bodied whites to full-bodied reds. They believe that shopping for wines should be an uncomplicated process similar to that of picking your favorite cuts of meat at your local butcher’s shop or to that of choosing the freshest of fruits from your grocery’s produce section.

SKINNYFATTIES is a new business that specializes in tailoring your favorite wide neckties. They provide an eco-friendly and money-conscious alternative to buying new skinny ties at retail value.
Founder and designer, Joshua Adam Brueckner lost his full-time job and didn’t have the money to buy job interview clothes. Instead, he learned how to tailor huge second-hand button-up shirts to fit. Then after finding a box of fat ties in his closet, he immediately thought, “I KNOW there is a way to make these cool ties skinny!”.
He did just that and became a real hit friends, one thing led to another and SKINNYFATTIES was born, becoming Joshua’s full-time gig. For each tie purchased and every tie tailored, a $1 donation is made to Career Gear, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that helps men transition into the workforce.

“Our food philosophy is inspired by the French: to eat as an art form and derive unabashed pleasure from gastronomy without batting an eye! We focus here on little bites of luxury. To us that means that our chocolate creations are crafted from high quality couverture chocolate (the creme de la creme!). Even the smallest ingredient details are sourced meticulously, for example– the salt atop our Colette Truffle [a French caramel style truffle] is no ordinary table salt, but rather it is Fleur de Sel de Guerande, the finest of sea salts from the marshes in Brittany, France”.
