BRUNELLO 2004

| The beginning of the month always results in a long newsletter where we try to fill you in on all the upcoming events at the shops. To make this a little more concise, I’m playing around with a new template this week. Below you’ll find brief introductions to events with a hotlink to jump to the website and learn more. Please let me know what you think. Have a great week,
Darryl and the cork crew
