Being the furry face of Potomac Point Winery comes with a lot of glory yet “us humans” will never understand the complexities that Chianti must deal with on a daily basis. We decided to finally document a day in the life of our “poster pup” Chianti Causey to show everyone just how vital she is to the well being of Stafford’s favorite winery.

Her stressful day begins at the crack of dawn! While she only gets 16 hours of sleep a day she fights through her severe sleep deprivation to primp herself for her long day of work ahead. Once she arrives at the winery she must conduct what we in the biz like to call it “extensive toy gathering” to ensure she has enough activities to keep her occupied throughout her time at the winery. Next comes a day filled with lounging in all of the various spaces in the winery, making sure to get under MANY customer’s and worker’s feet, and most importantly greeting each and every guest with smile and a wag of the tail.

Not just any dog is cut out for such a strenuous lifestyle but Chianti carries her large load with poise and grace. After her day is done at the winery Chianti enjoys long walks in the vineyard accompanied by a gourmet dog biscuit and an iced cold bowl of water. Following dinner she makes sure that all of her employees say goodbye with a nice long belly rub and scratch. By the time she gets home to her doggie bed Chianti is exhausted yet excited for another fun day at Potomac Point! She invites you to come visit her soon and show you around the winery that will always have her heart!
