Food is the great universal topic. Go anywhere and talk with just about anyone and know that after pleasantries are exchanged, the conversation will almost always get around to food..eating it, buying it, preparing it. We love to talk about the parties we've attended, bar-b-ques we've hosted, dinners we've made, the desserts we've savored and the recipes we've mastered. I think we are lucky in that our conversations always come back to food in some capacity or another. It's always best when food is shared, both across the table and with our words. Come..let's share the bounty! Cooks talk!

Wine snobs need not apply!

Good wine is everywhere to be found. Look in the least likely places, such as discount supermarkets, drugstores and bargain merchants and you're bound to find a number of interesting and wonderful deals, cut outs and long lost treats and value treasures. But what is even better is that there are a number of vinters out there that know that there is a demand for something more than just plonk in a jug, but rather, tasty wines at a good price.

Value is important when it comes to stretching out a food dollar, but what matters even more is quality. There is nothing worse than opening a bottle of wine with friends and finding out, from that first sip, that was you thought was a good deal was, in the end, a real dog. The following article will help direct you to a nice line up of 2007 varietals from the Yakima Valley. Someday a field trip is in order to see this place first hand, but for the time a chat your local grocer or wine shop merchant should be enough to help you find the wines mentioned.
