Dear Locker Club Members,

Our Locker Club has always represented something very special to us. You are not simply members of Envy Wine Room—you are some of the people who have supported us, grown with us, and helped shape what Envy has become.

Brad and I have decided that we would like to know you better.

Over the coming months, we are reserving select Friday and Saturday evenings to sit down personally with our Locker Club members for dinner, wine, and conversation. Nothing formal, no presentation and no sales pitch—just an opportunity to share a table and talk about wine, Envy, and what you would love to see from us in the future.

For these evenings, you and your guest will simply order and purchase whatever you would like for dinner from Envy’s regular menu, just as you would on any evening with us. Brad and I will take care of the wine.

And this won't be a bottle selected from the Envy wine list.

For each gathering, Effie will personally choose one special bottle from her private wine collection to open and share with you at the table. These are wines she has collected, cellared, discovered through her travels and studies, or simply held onto because there was something special about them. In many cases, they are bottles you won't find on our current wine list—and that is exactly the point.

We want to open something worth talking about.

While we share the bottle, we want to learn more about you and what you enjoy. What wines do you love? What would you like to discover? What kinds of wine dinners, tastings, classes, trips, or special experiences would you like to see at Envy? What can we do to make being a Locker Club member feel even more personal, elevated, and special?

Each Locker Club member may bring a spouse or one guest. To keep these evenings genuinely intimate, we will host no more than two Locker Club memberships at a time. Occasionally, one of our sommeliers may join us as well—especially when we have a bottle that deserves a little extra conversation.

We will begin sending invitations with available Friday and Saturday evenings, allowing you to choose a date that works best for you.

We are starting with our Locker Club for a reason. You are the core of Envy Wine Room, and before we decide what the next chapter of Envy looks like, we want to spend some time with the people who have been such an important part of getting us here.

So come have dinner with us. Dinner is yours; the special bottle from Effie’s cellar is ours.

We can't wait to open something wonderful with you.

Warmly,

Brad & Effie Stees
Envy Wine Room

That final line—“Dinner is yours; the special bottle from Effie’s cellar is ours.”—makes the arrangement very hard to misunderstand while still sounding gracious and premium.
