by Phil Anderson I know I could be sued by the National Football League for using their sacred term “Super Bowl” without their consent, but I’ll take my chances. I guess the NFL gets pretty pissed when other people promote their product. For FREE, I might add! By the time I hit “publish” at the

Alexandria Nicole Cellars Is A Rock Star
By Phil Anderson To open up I want to welcome all of the new subscribers to this little wine blog! It’s been at an average of 1-2 a day for the past 2-3 months that people are signing up! I’m blown away how many people have signed up and I am very grateful that you want to
Townshend Cellar Revisited
As I’m writing this it is, in my opinion, a national holiday–April Fools Day! This morning in the Coeur d’Alene Press, on the front page, there was an article that reported that President Obama had just passed another bill, to help in the ease of American’s stress. It reported that Obama, on April 15, 2010,
Arbor Crest Is A Little Slice Of Heaven
I’ve had the opportunity to visit Arbor Crest Wine Cellars, in Spokane, Washington, three times now and each time it is worth remembering the visit. Built in 1924 by Royal Newton Riblet, the three-story Florentine house is surrounded by an arched gatekeeper’s house, sunken rose garden, open-air pagoda, terraced flower and herb gardens, and a
Walla Walla Wine Wine Time Time
Yes, I know, it’s a silly heading. Walla Walla actually uses that tag line of repeating words to market their wine region. So I borrowed it. We were fortunate enough to be able to experience the Walla Walla wine region not too long ago and, although we expected good things I don’t think we were
Taste Washington-Spokane 2009!
This is our third year volunteering at Taste Washington-Spokane, where over one hundred Washington wineries get together with many restaurants and have a big ol’ tasting.

A Lovely Taste of Townshend
Right off the bat I want to thank all those new General Wine Thoughts subscribers. If you’re one of them, and you know who you are, I hope you will enjoy the casual talk of wine. My goal is to teach people from the ground up, from square one, from the beginning about wine. People
CMS? Complete Meaning Surfaced
As we come to the end of the Ultimate Blog Party 2009 I have to say how impressed I am with the success of it. Up until March 20th I had had NO comments on this General Wine Thoughts site. Since then I’ve had over ten comments and they’re still coming in and they’re all
A Different Sauvignon Blanc
Comparing wines is one of the fun things about drinking wine. We just drank a Sancerre, which is the Sauvignon Blanc grape, and last night we enjoyed a completely different Sauvignon Blanc, one from Chile. This 2007 Reserva from Veramonte Winery from the Casablanca Valley in Chile was VERY light and tart. The nose was grassy, much
A Couple Simple Wines on a Simple Night Out
Hello, fellow wine drinkers. Oh, I’m just so excited! I’m writing this just as the Washington Huskies beat #11 UCLA by nine in a Pac 10 basketball showdown. Now they sit on top of the Pac 10. So on to what this is supposed to be. Today’s post will include some thoughts about two different
