Bark in the Park Saturday; hantavirus outbreak

Hey, did you make it to Bark in the Park last year? If not, you missed an incredible amount of fun. I was there along with more than 15,000 other humans and at least 3,700 dogs. We had a Great Dane of a time. (Sorry, I just couldn't resist that one.)

Most wines should be consumed within year or two

Have you ever saved a great bottle of wine thinking it would get better with age and then opened it a few years later - only to discover that it was past its prime? That’s because the vast majority of wine is meant to be consumed now or within one to two year’s time at the most. The wines that tend to age well are the more expensive Cabernet Sauvignons and other highly tannic, red wines. Through time, the tannins (which have a bitter flavor) will soften with the wine becoming smoother, richer and more balanced. Whenever in doubt, ask the winemaker or shop manager for advice on if and how long to age the wine.
