See It. Snap It. Win! - A Photo Contest
Let's face it, we all like to win. I would like to win the lottery. I also make an effort to follow companies that give things away. I like raffles, Costco samples and especially free t-shirts. The only problem with my personal mission to win things is that I don't often win. Sad. Lucky ...
Singing Songs and Sipping Syrah
Last Sunday, I was in serious denial of my weekend coming to a close. In need of one final hurrah, I rounded up my roomies to enjoy a night of good music, wine and dancing. And Arbor Crest Wine Cellars was the place to be! For only five bucks, we enjoyed their Sunday Summer Concert ...
How I'll Spend My Summer
It's right around this time every year that I get realllly excited for summer to start. (And let me tell you, buying new patio furniture sure doesn't make waiting any easier!) But if you've never visited, summer in Spokane is really an incredible time. The weather gods totally have ...
All Wrapped Up in Wreaths!
I used to think the art of wreath making was reserved for Do-It-Yourself royalty like Martha Stewart, but this week I was proven wrong! I was invited to go to a private ladies-only wreath making party at Arbor Crest Wine Cellars. This was my first time there and the grounds were gorgeous! ...
Summertime Blues
It's hard to believe it's September already. Yep, those lazy days on the lake are coming to an end. My camping gear has made its way to the top of that dusty garage shelf and hosing off the last bits of sand from my tires is still on my never-ending to-do list. There's that annoying ...
Our FAM-tastic Week!
Last week was our annual FAM Tour. What is FAM, you ask? It's a week where we invite travel writers from all over the country to join us in exploring everything Spokane has to offer in hopes they help us promote Spokane as a destination to fellow travelers. (Hard to believe they pay us ...
Music and Merlot
If you asked me to name some of my favorite things, I would quickly tell you that I love outdoor concerts and delicious wine - especially when you put them together! This explains why I adore Arbor Crest Wine Cellars' Summer Concert Series. The concerts get started the first weekend ...
April Showers Bring... Spring Barrel Tasting
Okay...okay, maybe the whole saying thing doesn't work in this instance, but who's to say there isn't some connection between the dreary rain of spring thaw and my desire to drink some yummy wine? It's obvious to me that the two are clearly aligned.
Even though my mom doesn't ...
Are you a wineaux?
Are you a wineaux? If you are, don't worry. It's not a bad thing. In fact, it's a good thing. It simply means that you know wine, enjoy wine and on occasion may even drink too much wine. After all, a glass of wine a day keeps the doctor away; or is that an ...
Que Syrah Syrah...
Okay, I admit it. Sometimes I'm a bit snobby about wine. I've never been a fan of Syrah, relegating it to the elementary education level of learning to enjoy red wine. Frankly, I say to myself, it's for sissies... the drinkable posterchild for wineaux who can't handle ...
