Little Barrel officially launched with a celebration in New York City. Taylor’s parents (who live in Manhattan) were very generous to throw us a party in a loft in Chelsea. It was the first time we displayed our products in front of a massive group of strangers – including several journalists – and the enthusiasm was worth all the hard work over the last year to get this business off the ground.As you know, the idea for Little Barrel came from our wedding (we made our first items for our guests) and many people from our wedding were there. It was fun to finally show them how our gifts have expanded into an actual business.
We couldn’t imagine celebrating our launch without serving great wine. So, we teamed up with one of our favorite wineries, Behrens & Hitchcock, and poured their 2003 Merlot and their 2003 Syrah Homage to Ed Oliviera. People were pretty pleased (and relieved) to finally be drinking great wine at a cocktail party.
