To: Family, Friends and Loyal Customers

This is to inform you that Susan and “Susan’s Place Wine Bar & Eatery” will be closing its doors and officially “Retire” Sunday March 29th 2015.

After 28 years in business with much thought and reflection, it is with bittersweet emotion that I must announce the closing of “Susan’s Place”. I wish to thank the people of Amador County, Sutter Creek and all of the loyal customers who gave me the opportunity to fulfill my dream the better part of three decades. I would like to express my personal appreciation for the association we have had through the years and thank you all for your generosity, kindness and support.

Please join us to say goodbye on our final day, Sunday March 29, 2015 from 3:00 to 7:00 pm for a “What’s Left in the Pantry Party” and “Wine Sale” (For what is left on the wine racks). * Please bring cash for “Wine Sale” purchases!

 

 ‘a thought to take with you’

    today in the midst of your busy life, 

    may you have at least one moment to sit

    back and relax, when you don’t have to

    do anything or be anywhere in particular,

    may you have a moment to remember all 

    that the past has given you and to look

    forward to all that may be waiting in the

    days ahead, but mostly, in that moment, 

    may you realize here and now what a gift

    your life is not just to you but to everyone

    who knows you…….

Sincerely, 

 

Susan L. Carter,

 

Owner, Executive Chef and Friend
