On Saturday, July 30th
THE WINE SAMPLER on 4107-c Oleander Drive, Wilmington, NC http://THEWINESAMPLER.COM asked us
Riptide Sharpening to come sharpen
"on-site" for their customers while they tasted some great wines and mingled with other wine enthusiasts. On hand and ready to serve was the Wine Sampler's ever knowledgeable and super friendly staff.
WOW - what a turn out! Thanks to Sean and Paul's savvy and diligent email efforts, word of mouth and a head's up mention in
Wilmington's StarNewsOnline didn't hurt either http://www.starnewsonline.com/article/20110719/ARTICLES/110719663 we had a nice turn-out of fun and interesting folks bringing in all kinds of wonderful and even unique knives that turned into a kind of "Culinary Weaponry" show and tell.
Paul from the
Wine Sampler said, "it's been one of the largest gatherings I've seen in a long time" and "due to customer inquiries and enthusiasm after Saturday, we're booking
another on-site sharpening date for
September."
Chris, another
Wine Sampler staff member happily commented on how professional and easy-going Dave (the sharpening technician) was and how they really enjoyed the demonstration and educational aspect of the service that was being provided on behalf of
The Wine Sampler for its customers. "It was interesting to see just how surprised people were to learn how much expertise really goes into a truly professionally sharpened knife". Tips and useful facts on how to keep your newly sharpened knife sharper, longer, were also shared which left the customer with a better understanding on how to properly maintain their own cutlery once they got home. Dave explained that these facts and tips are what helps a professional sharpening last as long as possible.
"It was a lot of fun and we appreciate the positive response as we stand behind our work so we know customer satisfaction is always a guarantee." Dave said. I want to thank Pious and the Choi Family of The Wine Sampler and I also want to thank the dedicated staff Paul, Donna, Sean and Chris for all their support in making this a success for everyone. I believe The Wine Sampler cares about its customers the way that we do and that makes partnering with them a pleasure." "We look forward to coming back."
This is an essential service that not only saves you time and money but is also a form of recycling.
Why buy new when you can re-sharpen for a fraction of the price of new and pay no sales tax? It just makes good economical sense. Additionally, all great chefs know that having sharp knives in the kitchen is an absolute MUST!!!" so take good care of your investment and have all your cutlery, shears and other tooling professionally sharpened at:
