We have a lot to be thankful for. This is a day to recognize those thanks, because the other 364 days of the year we don’t give ourselves time to do so.

At Holiday Wine Cellar, we have much to be thankful for. We recently celebrated our 50th anniversary as a family-owned operation providing the utmost in service and selection to customers throughout the world. Collaborating with us on an anniversary beer was Stone Brewing Company, which was a great honor for us. This is in addition to nearly a half-dozen beer collaborations that we have done over the years.

Speaking of collaborations, we just collaborated with Whistle Pig on a single barrel private label rye whiskey, an amazing addition to our portfolio. This, too, is in addition to several other collaborations we have done in the past with whiskey distilleries over the years.

The team at HWC is something to be thankful for as well. People here give it their all day in and day out, working as a team to get the job done, while providing customers with a great experience. We have fun while we do it, too. Heck, we work in the alcohol business – how couldn’t we have fun?

Perhaps one of the things we are most thankful for is our customers. We have the best customers in the world – customers who share our passion for quality products. Without all of you, we would be nothing. Thank you for your support over these 50 years. Some of the most loyal customers are HWC customers, and we are eternally grateful. Thank you all for being these customers.

On a more basic level, we have work, we have a roof to sleep under and we have friends and family that care about us.

While you spend the day with your friends and family, ask yourself: “What am I thankful for?”

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Holiday Wine Cellar.
