It all started with Frank, TC and Nicole talking about what pretty much everyone else who saw the game was talking about: the shirtless Jason Kelce holding a can of Labatt Blue Light! That picture is epic! So much so that Frank took a screenshot of it, cropped it, uploaded it to his Walgreen’s photo app and 35 minutes later we mounted a 24” x 36” poster and propped it up on an easel and posted it across all our social media. Frank, of course, tagged everyone and their brother including the Kelce brothers, their respective teams, Taylor Swift (because why not) and enthusiastically The NFL!

We spent a good part of Sunday talking about where our priorities lie and what changes should be made to have a more balanced life. During Covid our business exploded because you guys all really like to drink... especially behind your computer screens while you were working from home and home schooling your kids. (Good friend Brian Growney from Lanterna Wines kicked off our very 1st Alfresco Patio Tasting where 6 people showed up! ) Since April 20, 2020 FranksWine has hosted our Alfresco Patio Tastings each and every Wednesday giving the community a respite during a time when many of you were going batshit crazy stuck inside your homes. Every Wednesday the FranksWine Crew pulled out tables and chairs and umbrellas and arranged for Live Music and a Food Truck, called upon our vendors to supply libations to keep you happy and to support a different charity each week. After hosting our 109th Alfresco Patio Tasting last Wednesday and raising over $200,000 for charities in 25 months we have decided to take a break.

Listen to the podcast: https://post. futurimedia. com/wdel/playlist/78/listen-5498. html A week ago no one ever questioned the origin of Stoli - 100% of you knew it was from Russia. When the company moved its operations to Latvia, they never informed/educated our industry for a reason: because they wanted everyone to still believe it was Russian! In a few week you all will be drinking a pint of Guinness thinking you’re enjoying a true Irish Stout... hey pssst ... it’s brewed in Canada eh!

Donning a red Phillies hat and grey hoodie, we greeted him as he entered the shop and strolled into the wine room. Usually we'll give folks a few minutes to browse before we ask if they need help, but this classy wine aficionado had already picked out a bottle of Tuck Beckstoffer 2009 Est 75 Cabernet Sauvignon... nice selection, Mr. Assclown! He proceeded to the counter with the bottle in his hand. Scott and I were both occupied with other customers at the time and we were not near the check-out counter. Mr. AssClown waits impatiently for about 20 seconds, but decides that was too long... so he walks out with his girl's gift! How romantic.  He didn't even stick around for his free Valentine's Day gift wrap. Scott followed him out only to see him hurriedly pulling out of the lot in his shiny white Volvo SUV. This obviously irked the hell out of us especially after reviewing the surveillance video. Hmmm, what to do? Well, I posted a picture of Mr AssClown on Facebook and within 24 hours it was LIKED by 640 friends, hilariously commented on by 660 and passionately shared by 46 AND the story was picked up by DelawareOnline. com where 195 others shared it from that site.

FranksWine has proudly carried this event for 10 years — from the live music and wine pours to the epic cash prizes — but without extra support, it’s just not feasible this year to host it the way you’ve come to expect. BUT... we’ll be back bigger and better in 2026 to celebrate FranksWine’s 40th year in business. Thanks for understanding and supporting this crazy fun race all these years — we love you.
