Wonderful Email

This email put such a big smile on our faces that we thought we would share it with you - received this after the last newsletter went out:

Dear Stephen and Shannon,

Thank you for the emails you are sending to keep us apprised of the events at the vineyard and the development of your business/family. I watched every episode of Dream House and happily followed the realization of your dream. It was so enjoyable to watch the way you both pulled together during such an exciting/stressful situation. During previous installments of Dream House, I have been frustrated sometimes at the events that unfolded and how husbands/wives or friends treated each other during the construction. Having gone through a home renovation myself, I realize that is pretty much the norm, but it is not pleasant to watch on TV! Your family was a joy to watch and an inspiration/testimony to hard work and determination. I was in awe of both of you most of the time for juggling so many roles and not letting it get the best of you.

My husband and I are not wine experts by any means, and are just getting our feet wet in finding what we like. I wish your establishment was closer, so we could come enjoy all it has to offer! One day, however, we intend to include your vineyard on a trip "down south". Until then, I am thrilled to hear of your upcoming addition to your family. Hope the delivery goes well and all are healthy. What a great name you chose!

Best wishes for continued success in your business, but most of all in your lives.

Sincerely,
[[Your Friend]]
Hackettstown, NJ
