E-mail regarding our Wine Tasting For Mom's Food and Wine Pairing Luncheon for Mother's Day

I wanted to let you know what a great time my mom, sister, and I had
at the Wine Tasting for Mom's event that was held at the vineyard for Mother's Day. Every pairing was PERFECT and your enthusiasm for your wine was
contagious! My sister and I drove up from Maryland to attend this event
hoping that it would be everything that Barbara said it would be... and
it exceeded our expectations. Your staff were professional and happy
and we shared a table with such nice people... we ended up exchanging our
emails at the end of the event! I haven't seen my mother (whom had 12
children) that relaxed and happy in a very long time.
Thank you so much for a very memorable Mother's Day.

My family and I recently got to enjoy a little taste of "Heaven". It was called "Crossing Vineyards and Winery".
Your wonderful Manager, Barbara, hosted a very unique wine tasting for me and my family. She did such a wonderful job representing your wines and allowing us to tour the serene grounds. I am so thankful for the priviledge!
We enjoyed being together as a family and especially enjoyed the surroundings while tasting and learning about you, the vineyard and the wine making process.
Your place is breathtaking!
On behalf of our family, we wish you the very best success and we all are very thankful for our time at Crossing Vineyards.

Honestly I don't know where to begin... I guess I should start by thanking you for your patience with all my e-mails and never ending questions. Thank you for your expert advise, your precise handling of the music for the ceremony and your perfection to every detail of our wedding day.
Everything was wonderful. All of our guests had a wonderful time and loved the vineyards. They can't stop talking about it. They are all raving about the picture-perfect location, the wonderful wine and the most delicious food. I have never been to a wedding where everyone cleaned their plates the way our guests did.
The staff was incredible, they were so helpful and nice. I really couldn't have asked for anything more.
Thank you so much for your hard work in making our wedding day perfect! We are looking forward to many more celebrations at the vineyards

I can't even begin to thank you for all your help with my fundraiser this past week-end. Your generous auction donations and your time truly helped make my event a success. I will not forget your kindness & I will be sure to tell others of it.
I will be in touch because I would love to work with you again in the future.
Thank you again.

Dear Mr. Carroll,

Our son, Mark, and Stephanie Power, married Saturday at your beautiful winery; I should say breathtaking!
Your staff is outstanding, very attentive and the event was extremely well done. The wedding guests were impressed with the celebration and a most happy time was enjoyed by all. And, of course, the dinner was prepared to perfection.
I am sure you can tell we had a terrific time.

Many Thanks!

Dear Tom,

On behalf of the O'Connor family and the guests that attended my son's wedding rehearsal dinner, I'd like to thank you and your staff for an outstanding event. Words cannot properly describe the outstanding service or the expertly prepared food. Your winery and its aesthetic charm speaks for itself. Your staff was attentive to all guests and served with cheerfulness. The caterers outdid themselves. The food was prepared in a manner that rivaled any great restaurant that I've ever been in, and I have dined at many across the country. Elaine was outstanding to work with and made sure our event was top notch. Tom, this was truly an outstanding event. Congratulations on putting together a first class venue in Bucks County!

Sincerely,
Jack and Mary Ellen O'Connor

Dear Tom,

Just wanted to say thank you again for the professionalism of your staff and the exquisite facility you provided for the event. You are a true vintner. Many of the clients felt it was the finest event they had ever attended. It is a true pleasure to work with our staff who made planning the event painless. Cindy and I look forward to visiting your winery during the autumn months and thank you again for the wonderful evening.

Dear Tom,

On behalf of the entire Nowicki-Lutschaunig Team, I would like to thank you and your staff for an absolutely terrific event last night. Our clients were duly impressed and had a great time. The food and wine were wonderful and the service was excellent. The presentation done by you was very informative and helpful to all of the neophyte oenophiles in attendance. The tour was greatly appreciated by the group. And our guest speaker was better than we could have expected. We will be back! Also, I am certain that there will be more business to follow from our complex as my boss was delighted and is already spreading the word about your facility. All in all, a wonderful evening! THANKS!

Dear Tom,

Interfaith Housing Development Corporation's Annual Dinner was a huge
success and we couldn't have done it without you! Thank you for your generous donation-of Wine. The IHDC Board and Staff are grateful for your help. But, we know that the families that we assist are even more appreciative of your kindness.

Dear Tom,

First I want to tell you what an exceptional evening the Harvest Winemaker's dinner was. It was no surprise that the night was not just a "dinner," but rather an "experience," one that I have come to expect from you, your family and your business. It's just the way you do things, as a standard! It was delightful, unique and never was there a dull moment. It was also classy and tasteful, as usual. I also know that everyone that I came in contact with had a wonderful time. So thank you again.

Sincerely,

Dear Tom and Family,

My family and I visited the Winery on Friday night for a private wine tasting and tour. Your family donated this wine tasting for a Silent Auction Fund Raiser for BEELONG Adult Day Services. We were finally able to get the family together and come to the Crossing Vineyards Winery. It was WELL worth the wait!!! We had a fabulous time. The wines were delicious and the presentation could not have been better. We not only were able to enjoy these wines, but we were taught a lot about the process of wine making, and what we should be looking for in our choice of wine. There was a great selection from Whites, Reds, Sweet and Dry. Tom Carroll was a wonderful host and made sure that we were completely cared for during our tasting. I would recommend Crossing Vineyards to anyone who is looking for a nice evening with friends to enjoy some wine and conversation. Thanks again to the Carroll family for their hospitality, and an all around amazing experience.

Sincerely,
Terianne Taggart

Dear Tom,

Thank you so much for an incredible experience!! Scott's party was everything I had hoped for and more. He loved it! The food was wonderful and the staff was very friendly and helpful. My guests were blown away by the evening. So many people commented to me about how different the evening was, how beautiful Crossing Vineyards is and how delicious the food was. They must have loved the wine too, because I saw them buying by the case. Last night, Scott and I were trying to think of another occasion/excuse to do it again! Thanks so much for all your help. You did a terrific job- everything was even better than promised. I hope to work with you again soon.

Sincerely,
Abby Applebaum

Dear Tom,

We at New Hope Academy on the Parent Advisor Counsel want to thank you for making our Wine Social & Silent Auction such a great success!. We couldn't have done it without you, your generosity, and your wonderful staff. Your staff was extremely helpful before, during, and after our event. You, Tom, have such a knack for handling the "live auction"! We raised more money that night than we ever have for the Scholarship Foundation at New Hope Academy. Everyone seemed to have such a great time. We enjoyed your beautiful location, the wine and hors d'oeuvres. It all made a very special night for our guests. We would also like to thank you for donating the wonderful Wine Dinner that was auctioned off. That will be another unforgettable event! Having the Wine Dinner donation and the donation on the sale of wine really increased our profits. We thank you, and all who helped make it a perfect night.

Sincerely,

Tom,

I wanted to take a moment to tell you how much we all enjoyed the meeting at Crossing Vineyards last week. Clearly you have a great deal to be proud of. Your staff was responsive, friendly and professional. I would not hesitate to schedule a meeting with you again and have recommended Crossing Vineyards to my business partner-Mike Eden. Most of all, thank you for your wonderful humor and entertainment during the wine tasting. We certainly didn't expect you to dedicate your time to really making the event as wonderful as it was, so again, thank you! The location was a hit and I must say I have been enjoying my case of wine! I will be ordering more!

Dear Tom,

I wanted to write to provide feedback on Crossing Vineyards, your wine, classes and events. I have been to the vineyard several times with my wife and friends. I must say that we feel extremely fortunate to have an establishment like Crossing Vineyards in our back yard! We have been delighted with all of your wines, have enjoyed informative classes at your Wine Institute and had great fun at your special events. We have enjoyed Crossing Vineyards so much, we booked your facility for a private dinner with our friends and family. We had a wonderful evening of food, wine and great atmosphere. Your staff, specifically Barbara, made our party very special and continues to welcome us like family! We have mentioned you to countless friends and we will be sure to return often!

Sincerely,

Dear Tom,

As you know, I used your fabulous facilities about a year ago to give a "shower" for my daughter-in-law to be. Everything was wonderful and I look forward to my next "occasion" at the Vineyards. However, I really wanted to tell you that I stopped in today to show your facility to a friend and I could not believe how everything has grown and matured. It looks like California or Italy and to think it's in my backyard! What a wonderful treat and a complement to all your hard work! Congrats!

Dear Carroll Family,

After visiting Crossing Vineyards recently for one of your fantastic concerts, I felt compelled to tell you how excited my wife and I are that we found such a beautiful vineyard and so close to home. I have been in the wine industry for many years and have visited many vineyards and Crossing Vineyards is one of the best in the country not just PA. We live in Cherry Hill, NJ and were pleasantly surprised when the trip to your vineyard took only 40 minutes and was very easy to find. The staff at your vineyard is extremely knowledgeable and everyone was very helpful and friendly. My wife and I felt like we were guests in your home and plan on coming back on a regular basis. Because of Crossing Vineyards, I have become a real believer in just how good wine can be from PA when made with the care and attention to detail that is obvious when tasting your wine. Thank you and we hope to see you soon.

Sincerely, Lou and Diana Bellardine

Tom,

Gerry and I just want to tell you that we had a PERFECT wedding reception at Crossing Vineyards and Winery! You were so accommodating and we truly felt that you put your heart and energy into the evening! Your staff was superb! Everyone in my and Gerry’s family loved the event, food, music, and wine! We had family and friends from Princeton, Massachusetts, and California as well as Pennsylvania that evening. I was very pleased with all of the traditional wedding reception festivities as well! Additionally, we felt that everyone had a unique and memorable experience! Everyone that I have spoken to said how great the evening was. Thank you very much for making sure that we got the top layer of our wedding cake, presents, and left over wine. It was great meeting you and we look forward to future concerts under the tent and enjoying Crossing Vineyards wine. Hope to run into you at some point in time.

Sincerely, Gerry & Nancy Thomas

Dear Tom,

We first heard about Crossing Vineyards & Winery just after the opening through an article in the Advance of Bucks County. Shortly after the article appeared we happened to see Sen. Conti's Legislative Report on cable that centered on the Vineyard. Within a week we made our first visit and tasted your wine for the first time. It reminded us so much of what we experienced a few years ago when we made a trip to Sonoma County. The wine along with the visual beauty of your property told us that we had found what we experienced in California right here in Bucks County and only 15 minutes from our Newtown Borough home. In the last 2 1/2 years we have taken the Entire Wine 101 Course, a Food & Wine Pairing class, the Reidel Tasting class, 3 Winemakers Dinners, 2 Valentines Day dinners, special events, and many Summer Concerts. Your Tasting Room and Events Staffs are always most welcoming and informative. But the most exciting aspect for us is having the chance to expose our family and friends to the Carroll Family's absolute passion for viticulture and winemaking and the magical place that is Crossing Vineyards & Winery. We look forward to many more years of enjoying your wines and hospitality.

Sincerely, Barb & Dick Rabberman, Newtown Borough

Dear Tom,

Just a few words to say Thank You for ensuring that Jurgen's party was a success. He really was so pleased with everything and our guests continue to tell us how wonderful it was and especially how gracious the staff was. You are so easy to work with and it really was the easiest party I've ever arranged. Thank you for everything!

Fondly, Barbara Scherer

Dear Tom and Dave,

Thank you so much for a wonderful evening last Friday with Dick and Barb Rabberman. We had a fabulous time tasting the wine, eating the delicious foods and hearing all about the winery. Tom, remember, you need to write a book with all your stories. Had a great time! See you soon.

Sincerely, Deb and Dennis Matika

Hi Tom!

Thank you so much for a great wine tasting. It was refreshing to have someone personable and wine knowledgeable…a rarity in the world of fine wine. I look forward to picking grapes in the fall…and being a part of a great vintage year! Thank you so much.

Tastefully done!

Dear Tom,

Thank you so much for helping us host the Pennington Montessori School Spring Auction at Crossing Vineyards. We received so many compliments about the evening; I don’t know where to begin. You and your staff were exceptional. Please extend my gratitude to them on a job well done and truly appreciated. Everyone absolutely loved the vineyard, the wine and the food. Tom’s magical auctioneer abilities really gave the crowd incentive to bid to their limits. The evening festivities helped raise over $28,000 with a net profit of nearly $22,000. The school plans to use this money to complete the Great Room and outdoor garden. Thank you again for all your help and generosity throughout the planning of our event.

Warmest Regards,
Amy Stivala

Dear Tom,

It was a pleasure meeting with you this past Friday. You are obviously very proud of what you have created as you should be. Crossing Vineyards’ wines are certainly changing judgments on Pennsylvania wines. I am sure your wines will go over very well at our event. All in all, the vineyard and winery operation is very impressive and I am sure the vineyard will continue to grow. I want to thank you for taking the time to show me around the facility, as I know you have a very busy schedule. I look forward to the possibility of doing business with Crossing Vineyards again in the future.

Best Regards,
Dave Dickson,

Dear Tom,

Junior Achievement of New Jersey’s Annual Hall of Fame Gala was a true success, due in large part to this year’s silent auction, which was only made possible by your generosity. It was both a pleasure and an honor to have your item displayed at our 2006 Hall of Fame Gala Silent Auction. Your contribution of wine for the enthusiast helped us to raise funds to sustain our programs for the youth of New Jersey. Thank you so much for your support.

Sincerely,
Catherine Milone-Richards and Dawn Schwartz,

Dear Tom,

My husband and I recently attended a Wine Tasting for Dummies class and had the best time ever. It was a Christmas present from our Son and Daughter-in-Law. Anyway, the reason for this email is to thank you for teaching us so much and removing the snobbery usually associated with wine tasting. We have come to really enjoy tasting wines now with all of our meals. You will laugh and be happy to hear that we now know what “good wine” is supposed to taste like. I personally enjoy your Blush wine. I recently threw out three bottles of wine because they tasted substandard when compared to the wines we tasted and purchased at Crossing Vineyards. Our new motto is: If you don’t like the taste, don’t drink it! In closing, Bill and I want to thank you for all that we learned and how much we enjoyed ourselves. We certainly will be visiting the winery again and have already told several of our friends to visit and experience the fun and good wine at Crossing Vineyards. Please add our name to any mailing list that you may have now or produce in the future.

Best regards and much prosperity,
Rita and Bill Ruff,

Dear Crossing Vineyards,

To Crossing Vineyards' Staff:

I recently had the privilege of treating my group of eight to a wine tasting at your vineyard. Family friends of mine from Connecticut deeply enjoyed their visit and we’re already planning our next excuse to celebrate in style at Crossing Vineyards….Your staff was incredibly hospitable and they welcomed us into the tasting room with such warmness. We left feeling wonderfully relaxed and spoiled with a mixed case of our favorites, including your Chardonnay and Cabernet-Merlot. Of all the vineyards in Bucks County and adjacent areas, Crossing Vineyards is in a league of its own. Thank you for your excellent service…

Sincerely,
Meaghan Crawford

Dear Tom,

We are writing to say a big Thank You to everyone at the vineyard for helping to make our wedding day perfect!

From the first phone contact through the last minute of our special day, you and your staff were genuine, professional, and happy to work with us - handling every detail with loving care and a positive attitude. The warmth of everyone at Crossing Vineyards helped ease our nerves - we could tell that we had found the right place for our wedding. Your setting is so beautiful, your staff so congenial, and your wine so tasty that we recieved rave reviews for months afterwards!

Please pass along our thanks to the staff, and keep up the good work. We love to visit the vineyard for a relaxing glass of wine, and look forward to enjoying some of the events on your schedule.

Warmly,

Cathy and Gary Scarpello

Dear Tom,

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you for hosting an awesome event...The wine pairing was a tremendous amount of fun for all in attendance, while at the same time being informative.

The food and wine was first class and delicious and many of my co-workers have said it was the best event we have ever had. You and your staff by far exceeded my expectations and I look forward to our next visit to your vineyard.

Thank you again for a great evening!!

Dear Tom:

Thank you for arranging a wonderful wine tasting for our school fundraising event at Crossing Vineyards.

You have created a beautiful setting for any event and it was just perfect for us.

As the Master of Ceremonies, you were inspiring and helped us raise more money for the school than we had hoped.

Your wines are excellent and were perfectly paired with the delicious foods you served us.

We also want to say a special thank you to your staff...they are friendly, charming, and made everyone feel welcome and happy.

You and your team put the "fun" in fundraising for us!

Dear Tom:

To the Staff at Crossing Vineyards,

We would like to thank you for doing such an excellent job at our wedding. Everything was spectacular! The food was excellent, the wine was wonderful, and the service was fantastic! Our guests had such a wonderful time. We were really striving to have a laid-back, casual and elegant reception, and that’s exactly what we had.

Thank you for all of the time, energy and effort that you put into our special day. Your place is really spectacular, the view and landscape so incredibly well taken care of. It is obvious that you really put your hearts into your work, and it really does show.

Thank you all for such an excellent job. Our guests have been raving about what an excellent time they had, and that makes us very happy. Our family and friends have said how nice it was to go to a wedding that was truly relaxed and casual, but at the same time, so very elegant. Thank you for making the happiest day of our lives a most memorable and special day.

Yours truly,

Erica and Chris Walker

Dear Mr. Carroll:

On behalf of Heritage Conservancy I would like to thank you for supporting our Business Member Reception. Your generous contribution to this event helped make it a great success.

Kim C.,
Her wedding was scheduled for the Yardley Inn the Friday after it was inundated by the recent flood. In four days, we set up the wedding and it came off without a hitch.
From her thank you letter...

"Paul and I cannot thank you enough for everything you did with such short notice to get our wedding together at Crossing Vineyards. Everything was so beautiful, and fortunately, mother nature also cooperated, allowing us to have the ceremony and cocktail hour outside. If we had spent months planning the event it could not have been any better. We appreciate you working with us and being a big part of making the day so incredibly special and perfect."

Dear Tom:

Valerie and I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful VIP tasting event. The winery is beautiful and very inviting. We applaud your contribution to both winemaking and our area. It is exciting to have such a resource so close. The quality of the wine and experience is only overshadowed by the quality if the people who work there.

We are committed customers and look forward to our next visit and enjoying some of the events you offer (like the Valentines Day Dinner!).

Thanks Again,

Don and Valerie Mihalik
