This Friday we have a new kind of pop-up happening during our wine tasting!

We’re excited to give you a sneak peak of another local business we are working with, backyard_timberworks!

Growing up in the northwest mountains of Montana, Tim naturally has an affinity for all things outdoors.

Now residing on the Seacoast, when he’s not working as a cardiac med-tech, riding his dirt bike or hanging with his family you will most likely find him in his backyard.

Tim started woodworking as a hobby a few years back, building benches in his backyard with a chainsaw mill. Fast forward to now, he’s building all kinds of different custom projects; all out of his backyard with his perfect, yet simple setup.

Come have some wine on Friday night and check out what Tim’s up to, you won’t be disappointed.

For us, it goes without saying that quality is everything. What’s understated is how important the relationships that we’ve built along the way are to us and to this shop.

Ok now for the fun stuff!
