Party Plates: The Elegant Solution to a Common Party Dilemma
At any social gathering, balancing a plate of food and a glass of wine while trying to greet friends and enjoy the festivities can be a juggling act. Mike Campbell, the visionary owner of Wine Country Woodcraft, recognized this common predicament and crafted an innovative solution: the Party Plate. Its a plate with a wine glass holder.
Designed for Convenience and Style
The Party Plate is not just a plate; it’s a revolution in partyware. Designed with both functionality and elegance in mind, each plate features a unique slot specifically engineered to hold a wine glass securely. This design allows guests to comfortably hold their food and wine in one hand, freeing the other for handshakes, gestures, or simply enjoying a bite.
How It Works
Mike’s Party Plates are ingeniously simple to use. The plate includes a thumb hole at the bottom, allowing you to slide your thumb through and arch your fingers for support. Nestled within the plate is a specially crafted slot that cradles the wine glass. Thanks to the tapered design of most wine glasses, they sit securely in the slot, even if the plate tips slightly. To drink, simply lift the glass out of the slot—a fluid motion that’s easy even when socializing.
Craftsmanship and Quality
Each Party Plate begins its life as a beautiful board of American Cherry, known for its rich color and durable finish. Mike personally planes the wood to just under half an inch thick, then cuts it into pieces measuring 10 inches by 7 inches. The wood is meticulously drilled and routed, creating smooth edges that are comfortable to hold without worrying about damaging your wine glass or thumb.
The final touch is an oil-based finish, applied in three coats to ensure that each plate is not only beautiful but also resistant to staining. This thoughtful finishing process means that cleaning up after a party is as simple as washing with soap and water—though these wood treasures should never be placed in the dishwasher.
A Top Seller and Perfect Gift
Unsurprisingly, Party Plates have quickly become one of Wine Country Woodcraft’s top sellers. Many customers return to purchase second and third sets, perfect for hosting larger gatherings. Their practicality coupled with their artisanal charm makes them an excellent gift for any host or wine lover.
