Diary of a Winery Cat: Entry #47 🐈‍⬛

Hello, dear humans. 🐱
It’s me — your favorite furry host at Deer Creek Winery at Brooks Estate. If we haven’t met yet, allow me to introduce myself properly… though most guests simply call me “the handsome black cat with the good vibes.” I accept all variations. 😼

My daily agenda is full, of course:

7:42 AM – Stretch dramatically so the humans know I’ve had a very demanding night.
8:03 AM – Birdwatching. I glare. They chirp too loudly. It’s a whole thing.
9:15 AM – Sunbeam nap on the porch. Elite-level relaxation—do not disturb.
9:47 AM – Supervising humans carrying coffee, luggage, and occasionally questionable fashion choices.
10:30 AM – Perimeter patrol and estate strut. I walk like I own the place because, frankly, I do.
11:12 AM – Staff morale boosting: ankle weaving + purring = productivity up 63%.
12:26 PM – Adirondack Chair Inspection. I rotate chairs to ensure equal fluff distribution. No need to thank me.
1:30 PM – Leaf chasing (professional enrichment & cardio)
1:40 PM – Social Hour. Guests may pet me… if selected. Bribes of treats dramatically increase eligibility.
2:06 PM – Guest Escort Service. Walk guests to their car so they feel important. (They think they’re escorting me. Adorable.)
2:55 PM – The Zoomies. There is no explanation. You wouldn’t understand.
3:00 PM: Box inspection (jumping into any empty ones… for science)
4:10 PM – Outdoor paparazzi session. I model. Humans squeal. Everyone wins.
5:22 PM – Strategic, unsettling staring into the distance. Possibly at ghosts. Possibly at nothing. Keeps visitors on their toes.
6:05 PM – Dignified evening patrol + balancing on fun rocks for flair. Applause optional but appreciated.
After Dark – Nighttime Secret Missions. Classified. You don’t have clearance. 🕶️

So the next time you stop by Brooks Estate, keep an eye out for a sleek black cat with a confident strut and a heart ready for new friends. Come say hello, sit with me in the sunshine, and let’s share a moment of peace together.

Until your next visit —
May your glass be full, your naps be long, and your sunbeams plentiful. ☀️🐾

Sincerely,
Your Brooks Estate Winery Cat

Enzo

There’s something about the return of Cranberry Mist that just feels like the start of the cozy season. 🍷✨

It’s the wine we reach for when the evenings get quieter, the lights get warmer, and we’re ready to settle in and savor the little moments that make this time of year so meaningful.

Whether you enjoy it chilled or gently warmed with a hint of spice, it has a way of bringing people together and encouraging us to slow down… just for a bit.

Here’s to soft gatherings, shared stories, and the simple joy of being present.
Cranberry Mist is back — and it just feels right.
