Wine flaws, how to detect them and what to do then

I first wrote this article and The Press published it nearly two years ago. Wine flaws though are one of those things that many of us as wine consumers experience, and without recognizing them as flaws many just think it is bad wine. Especially at the holidays when at large gatherings, there are so many wines to try that friends and family contribute it is always valuable to identify flaws versus wines that are not to our taste, so here is the original article republished.

A Christmas correction

An incorrect assumption on Montana history was made in this column four years ago and I just discovered it. Top is "The First Christmas in Montana." The Ross Cox account of 1813 was the only one I could recall about such a notable event; however, legendary explorer David Thompson did establish his "Saleesh" post, now Thompson Falls, in 1809. Following is a short revision of the "Cox Christmas" 198 years ago.
