Farmer's market up and running in Superior, Alberton
The vendors for the Superior farmer's market have the majority of the lawn in front of the old school house to set up on, but on Saturday, they all tend to gather under the tree where the shade provides relief from the hot summer sun.

Protect your property during peak burglary season
MOSES LAKE — The holidays may be the season for giving, but for some people, it’s also the season for taking, and what they’re taking could belong to you. Washington has one of the highest rates of burglary in the nation, according to FBI data, and property crimes spike dramatically in December due to holiday travel and increased shopping. And unfortunately, more often than not the thieves get away with it. Only 15.5% of property crimes in Washington in the last year were cleared, according to the FBI. One reason, said Jon Shelness, owner of MyPropertyID, is that the items that are stolen are difficult to identify. “People are more rarely convicted of being in possession of stolen property than you think,” Shelness said. “Because it's not just difficult, it is nearly impossible to prove unless you have a record of the make, model and serial number. And having that identifying mark in the form of a tag is a signal to a criminal that this is registered property.”

The wine event of the year
For the last six years, we have looked forward to the first Saturday in February. Six years ago is when we were first asked to work with Hospice of North Idaho on their annual “Wine Taste,” the premier wine event of each year here in North Idaho. We were thrilled when we were invited to coordinate the wine effort then, and we are just as excited to be a part of the tasting again this year. This is a year of several fabulous changes and “firsts” to the Hospice Wine Taste, all of which will make for a great night of food, wine and raising money for this most special of causes.

Bits ‘n pieces from east, west and beyond
East, west or beyond, sooner or later events elsewhere may have a local impact, which COVID-19 has illustrated so well. A recent sampling:
On the hunt: Moses Lake couple featured on HGTV real estate show

ADVERTISING: Advertorial — Different
There have been some wines being requested and showing up with more frequency here in North Idaho that can only be described as different.
ADVERTISING: Advertorial — Buzz words
Every industry has words that have a specific meaning to those that work in the business. When industry folks get together and start tossing these words and phrases around, they are greeted with quizzical looks from those who don’t work in that industry. The wine business is no different, wine professionals have many expressions that don’t mean much to those who don’t spend all their days consumed by, or consuming wine. It is important though for us as wine professionals to not only use the terms properly but from time to time to explain what we are attempting to communicate.
ADVERTISING: Advertorial — The making of rosé
We just received our annual allocation of the most popular dry rosé we carry. The 2022 Skylark Pink Belly is fabulous wine, crisp and clean from start to finish and bone dry but loaded with lovely fruit flavors of the red fruits of summer. Like every year it is crafted from 100% Grenache farmed and harvested to be rosé. We also suspect, like previous years it will sell out within the month, the wine has that kind of following from those who buy it year after year, it is simply that good.
ADVERTISING: Advertorial — Then versus now
We have always marveled at how adept winemakers and grape growers are at adjusting to all that a vintage hurls at them. There are few truly “perfect” growing years when it comes to farming wine grapes. It has only become more complex and uncertain in recent years as the variable conditions from temperature to smoke to rain seem to have become more extreme. In talking to several winemakers over recent weeks, we have learned that in wine country around the west they now get smoke forecasts as often as they do weather forecasts, and I can tell you they pay very close attention to both.
