Okanagan Fall Wine Festival

The Okanagan Wine Fall Wine Festival is now on. The weather for September has been summery right to the end, which means visitors should have a lovely time in the region, whether they visit the desert, a beach, or a vineyard.

Tasting Grapes at the Wine Rack Store

Our neighbor’s grapes are now ready to be picked and enjoyed (though as table grapes this year). He asked me if I wanted to try one. ‘Sure!’ I replied quickly, instantly squishing two, but I still popped them into my mouth.

Dancing and Your Wine Rack Store

Dance and wine make a natural pairing, as Hauser Winery in Pennsylvania already knows. They are hosting ‘Dancing with the Vines’ on October 12th from 6-9.

Being Adaptable at the Wine Rack Store

With environmentalists urging governments to save delicate habitats and telling companies they want to see greener practices, business-people have had to adapt. Eco-tourism has become big business, and so has wine tourism. This industry, however, could be under threat.

Murder and Wine at the Wine Rack Store

It seems that wine goes with everything, including murder. For those of you wondering what theme to choose for your next wine tasting event, maybe it is time someone prentended to be dead (which is one way to get a nap) while a bunch of amateur sleuths try to figure-out who committed the terrible deed.

Halloween Wine Dinner in Arizona

The Halloween festivities just keep mounting up all over the United States and across the globe. What’s a fan of the undead to do? How does one choose a single event to attend? 

Hong Kong Halloween

For those of you who want to do something different this Halloween, perhaps book a flight to Hong Kong.

Lovely Bones at the Wine Rack Store

We watched ‘The Lovely Bones’ last night and it is the first move to take away my appetite for a long time.

Smoked Cheese and Wine Pairings

Tonight my husband is testing a food-smoking device he has made for a client by smoking some cheese. This led me to wonder what kinds of wines would go best with smoked cheese.

A Haunted Train Ride

Napa Wine Train events fill-up quickly. If you are wondering what to do this Halloween and think you might like to take a trip on a haunted rail car, think fast and act quickly.
