Need a gift for your out of town guests?


How about a bottle of wine with a custom label waiting for your guests when they arrive at their hotel? Stoney Creek Wine Press offers personalized and custom wine labels. They offer many services, you can buy one of their pre-designed text labels where all you have to do is edit the text. Or, say you LOVE one of the engagement photos that I took of you and you want that featured on the label, you can upload the image and use one of their pre-designed image labels. Another option, if you are a design superstar, is to design and upload your own label that they will then print for you. The forth option for those of you that know what you want, but can't design it yourself is to have the very capable staff do it for you.

They offer all sorts of wine ranging in price from $10- $50 per bottle. From Pinot Grigio to Pinot Noir and Sparkling Wine, they have a good range.

I love this idea. So much so that JD and I used it years ago when we got married up at Edgewood in Lake Tahoe. JD and I got our wine at a Half Moon Bay Winery that has now changed it's name. It is now known as La Nebbia Winery and still offers bottle and cork days. We got to watch as our bottles were filled and corked. The price has gone up since we did it, but it is still reasonable at $4.95 for a 750ml pour. You can provide your own clean bottles. I made my own labels- they were fine, but not nearly as cute and professional looking as those done by Stoney Creek Wine Press. It was nice to have that day with JD- who doesn't enjoy a beautiful day at a winery in Half Moon Bay?

When your guest arrives after their long journey to their hotel room, and see a lovely, personalized bottle of wine, you know their wheels will start turning and they will get so excited for the festivities that are ahead. They will feel welcome and thankful that you thought of them. What a nice way to show your appreciation for them coming from afar to celebrate with you!
