Congrats to Jennifer and Dennis!
Windsor Vineyards wine played an integral part in a romatic Central Park winter wedding proposal
Our mission at Windsor Vineyards is to craft and label outstanding, personalized wines that help our customers celebrate their most precious moments. We absolutely love what we do and that’s why as a company we’ve been around for nearly 50 years.
And every once in a while we receive a bit of feedback or a beautiful photo that reminds us of the role we play in our customers’ lives. Recently one of our senior wine consultants, Marty Woods, received a note and photos back from client Dennis Williams. Dennis had just popped the big question to longtime friend and girlfriend Jennifer Torpe.
The wine & label
After a few months of planning his proposal (with advice from New York Guest) Dennis had everything ready. Engagement ring hidden away in his coat pocket, Dennis and Jennifer set off on a walk through New York city’s Central Park. As they crossed the famous Gapstow Bridge — the spot where Dennis’ parents had been engaged 40 years before — Dennis called Jennifer’s attention to a bottle of wine and two glasses set upon the bridge. Our 2006 Dry Creek Valley Syrah, the couple’s favorite varietal, sat waiting.

As Jennifer took a closer look she read, “An amazing journey begins with a single step, today we take that step together. Two souls. One heart.” Dennis got down on one knee and asked Jennifer to be his wife. Jennifer was delightfully shocked and moved to tears of joy, with family friend and professional photographer Mathew Pellish hidden away to capture the moment in pictures, some of which they’ve generously shared with us and which we’re sure you’ll agree are absolutely stunning.
The Proposal (she said yes!)
Following the proposal from Dennis (which Jennifer wholeheartedly agreed to) the newly engaged couple laced up their ice skates at New York’s Central Park then shared a wonderful meal at UpStairs at 21. To celebrate the engagement the couple then shuttled off on their way to a weekend in Bermuda.
All of us here at Windsor Vineyards wish Dennis and Jennifer all the best and extend our congratulations. We are honored to have played a small role in this pivotal moment in your lives.
