Fun with wine lists

As wine professionals, we get to try a lot of great new wine every week. But even with regular visits to the shop from distributors, importers and winemakers, there are still more wines we have yet to try. Jonathan Oberlander from J. Scott Winery had a great way of breaking down all the wine that is out there. He said, "There are three kinds of wine; those I like, those I don't like and those I have not tried yet." Well said Jonathan, we have adopted that mantra.

Who has your back?

So often it's taken for granted, this intricate, delicate group of bones called the spine. We use it every day, all day long and really think little of it until suddenly something goes wrong and we are hurting. Your spine is part of the skeletal system, and it needs the muscular system and the nervous system to function well. Without all these systems working in unison, there can be trouble.

Watersports and the Finney family

Thanks to Anne Anderson for reminding of an interesting bit of local history and trivia. Back in the 1920s, Jack Finney had one of the only powerboats on Lake Coeur d'Alene, having adapted a car engine to power his boat. The family tied a board to the back of the boat and began riding their "aquaplane," soon gaining national acclaim for their stunts. Son John, a snow and cross country skier, took some boards from the barn and steamed them over a wood stove to curve the tips. Then he nailed shoes to the board and viola! The sport of watersking was born.
