Creating your own collection

For most wine consumers, as they move beyond their introductory phase with wine and really start to embrace and explore all the possibilities, we start to think about keeping some bottles on hand. We want to be able to have some of our favorites around, and not have to make a trip to the wine shop because we have nothing for tonight. So how do you start to put that collection together? And more importantly, as the collection grows, how do we manage the inventory?

Holiday craft fairs and bazaars

ADVERTISING: Advertorial — The Evolving Face of Wine: How rebranding is reshaping the industry

In the ever-changing landscape of the wine industry, adaptation is key to survival and success. As new generations of wine enthusiasts emerge, bringing with them fresh perspectives and preferences, wineries and wine shops alike are finding innovative ways to connect with their audience. One of the most visible and impactful strategies in this evolution is rebranding.

ADVERTISING: Advertorial — Vintage check up

The wine world has been through a run of consequential vintages, some good some bad but consequential nonetheless. As the buds are breaking on wine grape vines around the wine countries of the Northern Hemisphere it seemed like a good time to review recent vintage highlights and lowlights, and also to report on availability of wines from recent years.

ADVERTISING: Advertorial — Navigating 2020

The 2020 Vintage was noteworthy worldwide for what happened in a very specific part of the wine world, the utter devastation wrought on Northern California from the early, ferocious and unrelenting wildfires that engulfed most all of Napa, Sonoma and surrounding counties. The fires that year started in August mostly from lightning strikes, and they never stopped shrouding vineyards in a heavy layer of smoke and ash. Making it even more ruinous was that it was late enough in the growing year that the grapes had already gone through verasion making them susceptible to the smoke, but early enough that the grapes were not yet ripe and couldn’t be harvested. It was a near wipeout for these most storied wine regions, and while other areas from the Northwest to Europe had good years, it is tough to talk about that vintage without recognizing the impact to the entire industry.

Movie magic in Whitefish

Blue waves and a boat in front of Coffee Beach were a beacon for commuters last week that a new cafe had opened in Whitefish. However, no espresso or Americanos were being served at this peculiar beach-themed cafe on the U.S. 93 strip. It was actually a movie set.
