Wine torture

What is the proper way to store wine? It is one of the most frequent questions we get in the shop from wine consumers, and it is asked by everyone who buys the $15 and under bottles to the big-time collector ones. The answer, like so many things in the wine world, is: it depends. There are a few things that should always be avoided so your wine is not tortured, which regardless of what you paid for the bottle, will have deleterious effects.

Smart and convenient solutions for busy consumers

(ARA) - Today's shoppers are more active than ever, and when you're on the go, you probably attempt to keep your schedule as simple and concise as possible.

Weekend destination: Montana

We were tired of heading west. Seattle is great and a stop at Ellensburg (Ellensburg Pasta Co. - yum) and Thorpe's market is part of the fun, but after so many repetitions it just gets old. So this time we aimed the other direction.

Got Expired Coupons?

I get asked ALL the time… What do you do with the small mountain of your unused and expired coupons every month?  The answer is simple… I donate them!  You would typically think that if a coupon has passed its expiration date, that they would be worthless and bound for the trash can.  That’s not true with a very generous overseas military coupon program.  Coupons can continue to be used by families for up to six months after their expiration date at overseas military bases.  What a fantastic tool for our brave men and women to utilize while stationed away from our deep American discounts and familiar grocery stores right?  This is a program I believe in full-heartedly and hope that maybe I can inspire you to believe and participate in as well.  Please read on to see what options you have to extend the life of your coupons while doing a great charitable service for our armed forces!
