Labrador: Syria, debt drama to upstage immigration
The scariest order
Regardless of age, experience or even where we are on our wine journey there is one request that can scare any of us. Whether it be a large party at a business dinner or a more intimate gathering with family and friends, or even just a night out with our spouse you get passed the wine list and asked to pick a good one, uh oh the pressure is on. If it’s at a restaurant featuring a primarily European list the task becomes even more daunting.

Northwest supply and pricing
In three separate conversations with winemakers and other winery professionals over the last two weeks, I have heard that there is a pretty dramatic oversupply of wine coming from our nearby wine regions. The comments came in three different forms, but all pointed to the same problem for the wine industry close to home in Washington and Oregon, which leads me to believe Idaho is suffering from similar ills.

ADVERTISING: Advertorial — Decoding food labels: Part I
While I am an advocate of and prefer a whole food diet, invariably processed foods enter the scene more often than I would like. This is true for millions of people worldwide. How do we navigate the myriad choices we have and try to stay on the healthy side of things? Because the population as a whole seems to be drawn towards eating healthier, and demanding a better quality of food presented to us, manufacturers and therefore marketers, are making labels harder and harder to decipher. Many intentionally trick the public into believing what they are eating is healthy. Just as we can make an evil person appear like they are an angel, and an angel appear evil, the same is being done with our foods with the caveat emptor (“let the buyer beware”) lurking behind the label.
