Relief

I feel better.

I must say that I was feeling a tremendous amount of stress due to my wine and cheese open house, (and a few other things...) well it's all over, and it was a huge success. No offers, but a ton of traffic, and at least a hundred positive comments. Whew!

There are many ways to offer strangers alcohol, let's review the methods and results...

- Hi, we're having some wine and cheese today, would you care for a glass of red, white or blush?
- Ugh, no, that's okay.
- Howabout just a small taste of the red, it's really smooth and nice?
- Um, okay.

- Hi, we're featuring some local wines today, could I pour you a glass? We have a red, a white and a nice blush.
- Um, okay, we'll try the blush.

- Hi, we're featuring some incredible local wines today, could I interest you in trying a glass, we have a nice crisp white.
- Sure I'll have a try.

Honestly, I can't believe how much wine we went through. It was really great wine...
- Pinot Noir from Sprucewood Shores (awesome wine! went through 2 bottles)
- Summer Sun from Erie Shore (my fav, went through 1 1/2 bottles)
- Chardonnay from Colchester Ridge Estate Winery (very good, but only 1/2 bottle drank)

By far the most popular was red wine.

Anyways, it was the best open house I've ever had, (despite not having an offer...) and there were so many positive comments. This house is awesome. It redeems me as a Realtor.
