After five months of brainstorms, late nights, and lots and lots of coffee, we're incredibly excited to introduce to you, our brand new website!

Our old web design, which was launched back in 2008, has held up nicely over these past few years, but after we noticed a pattern of our customers having the same types of issues and with the old site, we decided it was time to get with the decade and upgrade.

Our new site is more user friendly, features better images, and gives you more information about our products right at your fingertips. Keep reading below to see some of our favorite new features and changes.

• New and Improved Mobile Site

We're aware of how difficult our previous mobile site was to use. It was hard to navigate, was missing key features, and did not provide an easy to use shopping experience, which is why this is one of the first issues we wanted to address. With our new design, we have vastly improved the mobile version, giving you easy access to everything featured on the main desktop site, whether you're using a smartphone or tablet.

• Fresh Images

We replaced all of outdated photos with fresh, eye pleasing images. This helped give our site a fresh look, and provides a better understanding to new and potential customers, of what they can purchase on our site.

• Easier to Navigate Design

Our main goal is to give our customers a seamless shopping experience. This entire design was focused around that one goal. It was crafted to provide an easy way for you to shop and navigate our site.

• Streamlined Checkout

We simplified the checkout process, and put everything you need right on one page. The view cart feature now gives you the option to see what's in your cart, without actually having to go directly into it. We de-cluttered and cleaned up the page by removing a lot of features that weren't needed, and made the coupon code and gift card boxes easier to see. We also updated the calculate shipping feature, and added ApplePay to the list of payments we accept.

• Easy How To Make Page

We've added an easy how to make page, showing you exactly how to make the product. Whether you using our quick blender method, using liquor instead of wine, or if you're making a non-alcoholic frappe, we've made it so you can simply "Pick your fix" and see how to easy it is to make the frappés right in the comfort of your own home.

• Easier to Read Recipes

We greatly improved our recipe section by making it easier to read and easier to find the flavor recipe you're searching for. Simply click on one of the newly updated images of the recipe you're interested in, and inside you'll find step by step instructions of how you can create your cocktail. New recipes will be added monthly so make sure to check back regularly. If you have your own recipe that you think we should add, send it over using our contact page and we'll test it out!

• Newly Added Wine and Food Pairings

We added this new food pairing section, which can be accessed here or by visiting our blog, to give you an idea of what goes best with your favorite wine or different flavors of our frappe cocktail mixes. Simply pick the type of wine you'll be drinking, and then you'll see a list of potential foods and frappes that will go best with that wine. We're still updating this feature so the foods are limited to just snacks and junk food right now, but continue to check back as new foods and healthier options will be added monthly!

• Improved Blog Section

Our previous blog section was a little hard to navigate, so we wanted to make this easier to read. Now when you head on over to the page, you'll find our most recent blog listed first, but you'll have the option to dig deeper and read some of our past blogs as well. We also included a quick way to navigate to the Recipe, How To, and Wine Pairings pages directly from this page.

• Where to Buy

This newly added page features a list of store and restaurant locations where our products can currently be found. You won't find us in any big box stores, but we do enjoy working with fellow mom and pop shops, small boutiques, restaurants and wineries who wish to sell our products. In this section, you find the businesses listed by state, so simply scroll down to your state and see if there are any stores in your area. These locations offer you the option to purchase individual bags, purchase by the glass or in some cases both, so make sure to check with that location first. Please keep in mind that not all of these places carry every flavor, or have a lot of stock on hand. If you plan on making a trip to one of these locations, make sure to call ahead and see if they carry the flavor(s) you want.

• Frequently Asked Questions and Updated Help Section

One of our favorite newly added sections. We compiled a list of our most frequently asked questions, and organized them into an easy to read format, giving you tons of information right at your fingertips. Simply scroll down until you find your question and then click on the little plus sign to reveal the answer. If you don't see your question on the list, send us a quick message via our Contact Form Page and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. We also added an updated Terms and Conditions page which will provide info about our shipping policies, privacy information, payment options and more.

• Updated About Us

We wanted our new site to have a more personal feel. We wanted our customers to see the faces of our company and get to know our hardworking employees who run the daily operations of the business. In this section, you'll learn all about how we got started and read more about our process of how the mixes are made.

On a final note, we just want to say that we could have in no way, done this without our wonderful friends over at Stern Advertising in Cleveland Ohio. They made this process incredibly simple. We gave them a list of all the features we wanted included in the new site, and they created and delivered everything even better than we could have ever hoped or dreamed possible. We can't thank them enough for all of the hard work they put into this site, and if you're reading this and are in need of any web development or marketing services, we definitely recommend checking them out.

Well we hope you enjoy the new site. This is the longest blog we have ever written on here, so we're going to go kick back and relax with a few wine slushies. If you run into any issues on the new site, please don't hesitate to contact us. Thank you!
