This holiday season, fine cars and fine wine went hand in hand. Last Tuesday, December 19th, Mercedes-Benz of Valencia hosted the launch of the new 2007 ultra luxury 2-door coupe CL Class at All Corked Up Winery. Also on hand were the new 2007 S Class Sedan and Motor Trend Truck of the Year’s GL450. Each car was supported by Silver Oak, Caymus, and Mi Sueno wineries. The two popular Santa Clarita businesses invited guests to mingle and enjoy as they collected information on the cars and the different wines represented by each winery.
With a live band on site, an additional surprise topped off the night. Napoleon Rumteen, General Manager of Mercedes-Benz of Valencia, initiated the toast for the night with a special twist at the end. The limited edition CL550 on site was purchased ahead of time by Chip Sterndahl as a surprise for his wife, Susanne Richards. The much surprised Richards was beaming with joy as everyone around her congratulated her for her Christmas gift. Needless to say, Chip set the bar for all other husbands during this gift giving season. The entire night was emphasized by relationships and people working with people. Just another feel good holiday story of how a strong community working together can incorporate so much joy by mixing business and pleasure.
