The gift which launched a business … It was January 2000 when a dear friend gave us the gift of a Wooly Wine Cooler, upon returning from a Holiday trip to Australia. WOW! ... We had never seen anything like it.
Crafted from rugged, water-repellant oilskin canvas, and insulated with pure Australian wool, your Wooly Wine Cooler will adopt the temperature of whatever you put in it, and hold that temperature for hours. Whether by the pool, the patio, out on the water, picnicking with friends, or at the dining room table; the last glass from each bottle tastes just as fresh and refreshing as the first.
In 2005, our founding partner, David Phillips (then age 12), launched Southpaw Express to bring these great Australian coolers to the USA. Thanks to this young entrepreneur, you can now keep your whites perfectly chilled, or your reds at cellar temp, from the first sip to the last. Oh, and "Wooly Wine 1" as we lovingly call the original, it is still serving our family and friends brilliantly all these many years later.
Meet the Woolamai One ... The 1st of the NEW Cape Woolamai collection of Premium+ ice-free coolers and koozies.
Crafted from rugged oilskin canvas, and insulated with pure Australian wool, your Woolamai One will adopt the temperature of whatever you put in it and hold that temperature for hours. Keep a bottle of White wine perfectly chilled, or your Red wine at cellar temp, from the first sip to the last. Whether you are relaxing on the patio or by the pool, cruising on the water or picnicking in the park, or simply enjoying a meal with family or friends, the last glass poured from each bottle will taste as great as the first.
The introduction of the original Wooly Wine Cooler showed Americans how much more enjoyable life can be when you go ice-free. As we listen to the thousands of loyal customers who love their Didgeridoonas products as much as we do ours, we hear all the great "if only it had" ideas for how the excellent might be perfected.
How could we improve on something as beloved as the Wooly Wine Cooler? To make adding wine to your life's adventures and celebrations that much easier, we added a hidden side pocket to your Woolamai One, perfectly sized for the sommelier grade waiter's corkscrew you will find inside.
Your Woolamai One can comfortably carry anything up to a 1 Liter bottle, and YES it accommodates Champagne bottles. So, lift your glass and toast to the Woolamai One, the ultimate ice-free wine bottle cooler.
Salute!
The Picnic: A meal eaten with friends and family where we serve cold, food which we would normally eat hot; and serve warm, food which we would normally eat cold. Well, it not anymore. Time to leave that old, conventional “pic-i-nic basket” to Yogi & Boo Boo; and upgrade your life and lifestyle to the Picnic Port.
Crafted from rugged, weather-resistant oilskin canvas, and insulated with pure Australian wool, the Picnic Port will adopt the temperature of whatever you pack, and hold temperature for hours. Keep hot items hot for up to 4-5 hours before you might want to reheat them. Keep cold items cold for up to 6-8 hours without any artificial help. Add a reusable freezer block to keep the contents of your Picnic Port refrigerator cold for up to 24 hours. Enjoy your picnic in the park, or tailgate at the game, as if you were enjoying dinner on the patio just steps away from the kitchen.
The secure fitting, insulated lid, keeps the contents insulated on all sides. Inside, a removable insulated pad provides another layer of insulation, and can be used to separate fragile dishes. The Picnic Port also features a solid base and strong straps for easy carrying. The picnic basket has long been a popular engagement or wedding gift. The Picnic Port now makes it a gift which will be used and enjoyed for years to come.
