Greetings from BRCA 28605!
Super Busy Weekend
Up to 100,000 additional cars in the high country this weekend. Projected to be the highest volume traffic weekend of the year.
Fresh off a haircut, flu and COVID vaccine and early voting we wish you happy Thursday. Our last two weekends of company have significantly reduced our wine inventory.
