. onna takes her wine very seviously not only because its her business but also
B because she loves good wine. Donna and husband Gary were avid wine makers
years before opening the doors of their first on premise wine making store.

mn premise wine making is a very competitive business, setting yourself apart from the

crowd is a challenge. Donna's edge is her a ability
to offer exclusive and innovative wine making
opportunities in an industry where cookie cutter
duplication is the order of the day. Wine manets at
My Wine Cellar share in red grapes imported from
Washington and California at harvest, age their red
wines in American or French oak barrels for 3

‘months to Z years and make wine from 100%
grape wine juices. A favorite summer is wine made
from local strawberries each year. (Wine-making
customers at My Wine Cellar are making impressive
specialty wines, as well as, top-of-the-line kit wines
because Donna insists on combining traditional
wine-making methods and ingenuity with modern
technology and testing.)

What has: made Donna an industry leader is not
only her knowledge .of wine making which is

Btiensive but: also her drive to provide her customers with the best tools to make
Aceptional wine.: In mariy cases My Wine Cellar can help you uncork a bottle of wine -

f you love what you do it shows. isn't that the saying? in Werdy’s case. it’
true... from the time she opens her doors in the morning tit she closes at night.
There's a sense of satisfaction in doing it her way and a genuine pleasure in

creating art with flowers.

Wendy worked as a designer and manager of
Orchid before she was offered an opportunity to
buy the business. This was after 16 years of
experience. Unfortunately seven months later it
was destroyed by fire. But that was back in
January and five months later she was open
again doing what she foves most. Her customers
returned in droves thankful that she rose to the
challenge and put the past behind her.

if you haven't stopped in to the new Orchid
Florist yet, you should. The shop is starting to
resemble what Wendy had in mind. A place to
do business in a fresh open environment with ail
the modern technology necessary for efficiency
in today's world.

The giftware corner of the business is ever
expanding to Wendy's delight and the coming
seasons promise a fresh new direction.”

When you love what you do, it does show and in Wendy's’ case it heips thet)

business grow as weil.

lone that's the fun of it, Cheerst... and mum's the word.
