-- -- is -- if these days of wine.

For some while we talked about this Americans are drinking more wine and -- European Brandon and well and now won't stressed out.

It's because we're learning more and more about it and then -- our local vineyards coming out -- we -- need to know about which is why status that we have.

Really cleese up the wind peaks we do.

Yeah outside -- inside husband -- Wine geeks we like people to know that we know something about mind that we don't take ourselves too seriously and and -- -- means you don't take yourself too seriously there's a sense of humor behind it that there is I think -- -- actually got a telling your story because you both.

We're kind of in a wine industry yeah kind of javelin and then finally say you know well -- me to go to can do -- -- -- how do you make that decision.

I think it really just evolves.

We actually sort of many children's theater and of course we had -- in the other relationship with restaurants and working in restaurants to support themselves -- As -- stated our -- an advantage there is -- that we didn't end it just kind of happened organically in and really.

Develop -- loans and fascination.

Low for an assassination.

OK so you are you hear from you must be from the area -- -- Jersey okay hi Derek originally from Canada.

But this -- somehow you end up in Armonk New York why -- Well I was I was the a reminder here for Blue Hill at stone barns.

-- -- -- senior Lexus.

It's a new west Chester and and the idea was the -- somewhat -- -- there.

To take advantage of that.

To bring you people I understand since start locking get out -- looking -- property and you come across what we were looking for really unique environment for wine shop that was also an area that wasn't saturated already in the market with -- -- And everybody would talk to in the industry -- go to Armonk and we talked to -- -- there and she found this this great.

Vintage 1950s gas station that Clinton really -- -- yeah not recently but originally the building was the -- have been gone for years.

But we re purpose the space and if it's just a really great retro industrial feeling that we've always kind of want to.

-- you treat this want this should think wine bar.

Actually is only a retail store but -- have wine classes and wine tastings.

By -- we can't be a wine bar and a one shop in New York in New York OK so it.

-- you have this organic are seasonal thing going on can you tell us about that.

Well we we we're we really feel that.

Branding and for one national brand national branding is a bad thing for one.

I I've seen this happen time and time again this small producer 5000 cases they make an amazing line somebody approaches and this is let's -- national.

So they go from literally when you're making 5000 cases and -- and 50000 -- 100000 cases so where the rates conference.

They're not growing at any rate so -- got a -- of all over the place and in how to limit the wine tastes the same every year and a.

I'm from bottle to bottle to the consistency sing it loses its authenticity.

Rightists are manipulating the product in order to make it literally chemically manipulate 16.

This doesn't about the -- that you carry.

Small production.

Handcrafted wines usually family owned vineyards and also in the tristate area know the -- over the -- all over the world have.

A few New York winds as well couldn't really zero don't really know -- the I was driving I should say trying really hard to get in it could seem on the -- other some great New York.

The -- to put and there's great organic chem bio dynamic -- -- -- -- Long Island so you're line is just organic and -- and -- bio dynamic.

We're not exclusively -- our focus really is small production line.

Organic if possible.

Really we wanna exclude one and a good price -- -- -- -- -- -- to be something for everybody.

What constitutes small production.

I -- you know it it again it's a very nebulous.

Term but Wu we think sort of 50101000.

Cases you know underneath that is this -- election and again we don't.

Well you we have several wineries.

Are doing larger production you know we're not again we're not religious about about this but we wanted to we certainly.

-- note on all of our shelf talkers organic sustainable.

What might be -- information is there.
