Get Your Buzz On With a Good Conscience



A nice thing about being part of the social media space is that even though we have a list of things we think will make great conversation starters, our followers often have their own ideas about what is topical.  Take the recent conversation on Twitter regarding our wine glasses made from recycled wine bottles.  An snippet from our friends at Bar Gernika (@Gernika):

Did you know that @brickovenbistro has  wine glasses for sale?made out of recycled wine bottles. really cool!

It was nice to see just how many of our Twitter followers picked up on that, and our first thought was, "Wow, why didn't we think to mention this."  Well, now we are :-) !  Thanks, Bar Gernika.  We owe you one!

We started carrying our recycled wine glasses thanks to an article in the Idaho Statesman by the Divas for a Difference, who wrote about a group in town called Sustainable Futures who were making glasses out of recycled wine bottles.  We checked it out, and I'm proud to say we became the first restaurant (it ain't braggin' if you done it) to carry them.  We've not only been using them, but we also sell them as well.  Here's what they look like:


Hey, it ain't fine crystal, but casual is how we roll at the Brick Oven.  By the by, we were also the first restaurant in Boise to make the switch to wind energy...but that's another blog altogether.
