Funny How Time Flies!

It's hard to believe, but it's been a decade since PHG first opened it's doors in Omaha's Old Market and a quick five years since we signed the lease for our current Legacy location. In that time we have made some great friends, had fun, and enjoyed success. We now find ourselves in the midst of nationwide economic uncertainty and our lease contract coming to an end. We have spent much time, thought, consideration and debate on renewing our 5 year lease. In the end, our decision was not to renew our lease and to close the store. We love providing great wines, our West Omaha location, and especially seeing all of you, our customers, however I think you would agree that renewing a lease for a retail store in the midst of these uncertain economic times, would not be the smartest financial move.

Have no fear we are not going away, even though the retail location is closing. I will continue to work towards and achieve my goal of Master Sommelier, continue to work with the Culinary School, continue to be available and participate in both private and public wine tastings, and take advantage of some opportunities that I previously passed on, due to time commitments to the store. As most of you know we have a number of things that keep us busy, so you will definitely see us out and about and appearing, in the near future after some time off, at new adventures and endeavors.

Who knows, if the economy turns around, our landlord has asked us to consider re-opening the shop in the future.

The March 31st Sokol Blosser dinner at the Sage Student Bistro is still on schedule and reservations will be accepted within the next 10 days. If you are interested please let me know or watch for additional details to be posted on the PHG Blog. (http://phgstore.blogspot.com/)
