As I was putting the Pairings Wine and Cheese label on each gift that will be included in the December shipment, I couldn’t help but think about the personal touch that goes into each shipment—Red, White, 2 & 2 Club shipments as well as the A la Wine & Cheese Carte shipments.
There are four of us in the company: the four partners featured on the “About Us” page of our website www.PairingsWineandCheese.com. When you receive your box of “pre-Paired” wines and cheeses, each one of us has had a hand in putting the box together. Literally!
Not only do we personally choose the wine and cheese and thoughtfully pick a gift to be included in the Club shipments, but we also write the newsletter, assemble and pack each box (including hand scooping the peanuts into each one), seal the box, apply all of the appropriate labels (Perishable, UPS shipping label, etc), and stack them for the UPS truck to collect them. And usually, the four of us help the UPS driver load each box into the truck.
We have a good time; the biggest challenge? The tape gun. But we are all getting better with practice and look forward to much, much, much more practice in the future.
So as you open your box of wine and cheese, enjoy it knowing that there is a personal touch to each packed box. Four personal touches that are from Jenny, Joel, Howard and Shelly.
