Great fleece for the money
By Outdoors is best

About Me Casual Dresser
Comments about Men's Andes Solid Fleece Vest:
Great fleece for whatever you want to use it for, comfortable, lightweight and warm. The fleece has a feel to it all its own. I would recommend to anybody for anything they want to use it for, whether working outside or out for the night with your friends. i have 4 different colors now and before its over i may own all of the colors, best fleece for the money i have ever seen, and from fall to spring there is not many days that go by that i don't wear some form of fleece. It just works best for me!

Lower quality fabrics used than before
By cjsWinter
from Minnesota
I've worn this same product for years and LOVED it. I ordered a new batch of 3 of them in hopes of throwing my old, worn-out vests away. However I'll keep my old ones as well now as the old fabric is warmer than these new ones.You also use a cheaper pocket lining now ... big drawback for me as I live in a cold climate and have always loved how warm and fuzzy the pockets are for my cold hands. The new fabric just feels thin and catches on my skin (which is rough and calloused). I won't be purchasing these vests again from Woolrich.
Not really good quality

About Me Classic Dresser
I like to wear a vest when hiking, keeps core warm, easy to carry when no longer needed. i wanted an alternative to my Patagonia vest. This one provided no comparison. Sleazy, poorly proportioned, just a sloppy barely useful vest. I don't like it, but I'll use it ... sometimes.
A very nice surprise!
By Wayne
from Baltimore, MD
I bought this fleese vest to wear at the office on chilly days. The color actually caught my eye - it mixes well with a variety of casual and dress shirts.
Good fit and matched other items

Matches the jacket lining under which it will be worn. My brother liked it!

Vest is His New Favorite
By Dakotawoman
from Sioux Falls, SD
The handwritten gift card was very unprofessional. I thought it should be typed. It looked very cheesy and not even a beautiful script.After Christmas, the vest became available in his size in black, so I ordered another. No personalized gift card this time.

See all my reviews
love this and also the long sleeve version! i've bought 3 long sleeve and 2 vests. everyone loves them!
Obsessive? You be the judge.
By Cal
from KY
My husband loves this vest (and 3 others in different colors). Last year I bought navy, and he lived in it.(It still looks good though.) This year I splurged and bought 3 more colors.
Good basic vest at good price
By Ken the Backpacker
from Chester, VT
I've been wearing a very similar predecssor product from Woolrich for over 7 years several times a week during the cool seasons and just love it. This product which is very similar was ordered as a backup and eventual replacement, as the older one is starting to show since of a long life and will not last forever. The current product is almost idnetical, and after a few days of wearing it is jut as comfortable and warm. My only minor disapointing is that the older product had black binding around the arm holes and colar, giving is a bit of a tow tone look, and the new one has binding the same color as the body. But I buy for comfort and warmth more than style, so this is not a big deal to me.
It was what I expected.
By hogfan
from Little Rock, AR
I had seen one of these in a shop while on vacation but did not purchase it. So I went online and found this one. It cost more than the one I saw in the shop and didn't seem as good a quality even though it was the same brand.

The perfect lightweight vest.
By Sunny
from Santa Cruz, CA
This is the perfect lightweight vest for knocking around the house on a cold day, or headin' to the grocery store, or hiking in cool (but not real cold) weather. Too often vests are heavyweight and can be too warm (I have one of those kinds for cold days).
Best buy for the money in a quality vest
By none
from Oregon
I wear this or another vest daily, and it falls into the category of what I like perfectly for the money. aA person cannot find a better vest with these features and quality.
Wonderful color and fit!
By retired sportsman
from one block away from Cabela's store in Ha
Great to wear at the change of season, the evening when there is a chill and to layer under a coat. Just an all round nice vest and comfortable to wear. Delivery service was great- arrived in no time. The customer service person was so nice to speak with and very helpful.
Great vest for summer
By faliz

I've been looking and looking for a lightweight vest that I can use for hiking in warmer months and this vest is perfect.

Not as good as my old Andes vest
By J_in_Boulder
from Boulder, CO
I have very much enjoyed my previous model Andes vest and have worn it for 2 years. The new model is thinner and doesn't hold its shape, so it drapes with wrinkles instead of looking smooth and professional. Unfortunately, it looks cheap. Ditto for the new monogrammed Woolrich on over the shirt pocket area. I bought two and returned them both. I'm very disappointed - I hope Woolrich brings back the classic, stylish old version!
Love the Andes Fleece Vest and will orde
By Russ
from Lexington, SC
The vest looks good and fits well. It does not make me look to large and yet conceals belt items like cell phone, flashlight, gun and badge. The color blends well with my clothing. I also have a black vest that I love too. It was purchased at a local department store. I searched several stores for my size and the color blue but could not finde any more vests at all. I was pleased to find the vest so readily available online and at a reasonable price.

I own other Woolrich fleece vests that have worn extremely well. The one thing about each of the two vests just purchased is that the toggles for the waist adjustment do not hold well. The toggles on the older vests work well.
To early to tell.
By Cody
from Paso Robles CA
After an adventure in exchanging the first vest because a large was too big, I am a bit disappointed in that the medium feels almost too small. Could be that the original vest in large was mismarked and was an XXL ? At least I received this order. The original exchange was returned to you because of your combination UPS/USPS shipping method.
Well made product..would buy it again
By Jo
from St. Marys ohio
The things we ordered came in record time and we were pleased with the service and very pleased with he products. Woolrich is a great place to shop.
Can't have enough of this item!
By Jac.
from Wenatchee, WA
I have used these vests constantly for years. I own at least one of each color and wear them every day from fall through to spring.
By Sylvia
from Lansing, MI
Fleece vests are everywhere but I think you'd be hard-pressed to find the unusual colors and patterns offered by Woolrich. Great fitting and completely versitile, wear it to work, wear it to play, dress it up, dress it down. Washes up nicely so far. I'm a happy camper!
Too bad I couldn't get what was claimed
By Disappointed Dan
from Longmeadow, MA
When I shopped on line I ordered two vests, both were shown as in stock. Packaged arrived with one vest and a notification that one vest was out of stock.Very disappointed in on-line purchase and practice.Very deceptive online service.One of my first Woolrich purchases on line. What a way to start a relationship.
Another Great Vest

Great replacement for a sweater
Great products at fair prices!
By Retired naval aviator

Colorfast fleece launders beautifully. Zippers and all seamsare high quality. I ordered XL and found sizing to be accurate,but the sleeves in the half-zip pullover are very snug (I have normalsize arms).
Color is everything to me!!!

Bellevue's PACE breaks some molds
November 7, 2008 · 1:55 PM
As the Eastside's first major performing arts center begins to take architectural shape, organizers are breaking a few molds along the way.
"I don't want to make the last great performing arts center of the 20th Century," said Performing Arts Center Eastside Executive (PACE) Director Jack Haynes. "That would be a big mistake."
PACE is in charge of turning the Bellevue dream into reality.
Planners from the group already have tossed aside one traditional theater element – the box office.
A concierge desk will replace ticket windows, giving the center a more personable feel at a time when most patrons do their transactions online anyway.
The 2,000-seat facility also will cater to casually-dressed crowds and feature a multi-cultural staff to give the theater a distinctly egalitarian feel and make patrons of all backgrounds feel welcome, organizers said.
Initial designs for the new theater, slated to rise at the corner of Northeast 10th Street and 106th Avenue Northeast, include a retractable sound booth located at mid-house, as well as a glass-plated viewing area for parents tending to noisy children.
An after-show hangout also could be part of the plans.
Building a premier theater for Eastsiders constitutes the largest campaign of its kind since the Bellevue Arts Museum got its own facility in 2001.
The main players for this project are considerably far apart in age. PACE Associate Director Dana Kernich is 25, whereas Haynes is 61.
The result is an influx of fresh thought that helps Haynes avoid anything too 20th Century.
Kernich hatched a plan to use mid-career theater workers to critique the center's preliminary designs and ensure that the facility meets the needs of employees, patrons and performers alike.
PACE recently carried through with the idea, hosting a brainstorm session that involved 10 professionals from across the country.
"It's very rare in this industry to touch a project like this," Kernich said.
Planning for the facility is scheduled to wrap up by February 2009, with an opening date in 2011 if PACE can get funding in time.
"Credit availability is affecting the project," Haynes said. "We'll start construction as soon as we can secure a sensible construction loan."
Costs for building the center are estimated at $150 million.
PACE had $32 million on hand for its project at The Reporter deadline, although additional funds were expected from a Nov. 1 fundraising dinner and auction.

Why Should I Participate In Thl

About THL > Participation & Support > Scholarly Participation In THL > Why Should I Participate In THL?

Why Should I Participate In THL?

Value to individual scholars. Given the limits of time and the plurality of publishing options scholars have available to them, an important question is just why one should invest one's time and energies in submitting scholarly products to THL. Firstly, we would point to the traditional reasons why scholars publish in standard academic formats. THL provides refereed, academic credit to scholars that can be used for promotion and tenure in their professional careers. We currently offer traditional, refereed credit for journal articles through our hosting of the Journal of the International Association of Tibetan Studies. In addition, our Encyclopedias of Tibet and the Himalayas publishes essays on a wide variety of topics and also provides refereed academic credit. We are also in the process of creating a system for the review of larger projects, once they are completed, so that these too can be formally listed on resumes and used for professional reports. Finally, we are also exploring a long term system of providing participants annual reports detailing in statistical form the full nature and scope of their participation, such as number of dictionary words, images, gazetteer entries and so forth submitted. In contrast to traditional publishers, however, THL provides permanent and free dissemination, such that your materials potentially have broader availability than they would in traditional publication formats. In addition, THL's evolving high profile guarantees people will know and find your work, in contrast to the possibility of being lost on a small, local Web site.

In addition, THL also provides a publishing venue for materials that otherwise might languish without publication due the constraints of traditional publishing venues. This includes materials that are extremely granular, such as the study of a single word, place, or summary of a chapter, and materials that are quite extensive and highly technical such that their audiences are limited. Thus, THL enables scholars to get credit for work which otherwise could never be formally disseminated, as well as enables that work to be made accessible to others. In addition, THL allows flexible publishing formats, so that the same item can be displayed in different forms for different audiences.

Another new publishing possibility is the ability for scholars to incorporate new media into their work beyond the printed text, such as photos, audio, video, three-dimensional resources and other materials. THL also enables scholars to embed reference resources into their publications, such that lexical studies, bibliographies, biographical studies, and other such resources can be linked to directly from a reference, whether or not the author of the essay created those reference resources personally.

This points to another benefit of THL publication, namely the synergy of being able to refer to and incorporate THL components created by other THL participants. Likewise, the structure of THL promotes implicit and explicit relationships between scholarship from other disciplines. This interdisciplinary orientation provides exciting intellectual possibilities and practices that are stifled by the present institutional arrangements of the Academy. THL's standards and communication procedures also enable greater collaboration in scholarship.

Finally, all of the above benefits are dependent upon the flexible, intelligent, and powerful use of new digital technologies. However, the creation of such technologies is expensive and time consuming. Thus, one of the great advantages of THL is that it provides powerful, integrated, and standards-based technology to its participants so they can concentrate on scholarship and content.

Value to Tibetan and Himalayan Studies and the Academy. As detailed in the section on the value to individual scholars, THL encourages new interdisciplinary and collaborative relationships, thereby addressing one of the major challenges to any field of area studies, and indeed to the Academy overall. In addition, its provision of publishing venues for work that otherwise languishes on private hard drives and vanishes upon a scholar's death greatly expands the public access to high-quality scholarly knowledge and thus advances the field more rapidly. Its flexible and pluralistic publishing formats allow the Academy to publish both more specialized materials and more publicly accessible works, often in the same resource (through showing/concealing various components).

THL also enables scholarship to increasingly reach beyond strictly textual presentations to incorporate rich visual materials, audio-video, statistical data sets, and other types of resources. These types of materials allow for greater forms of accessible content, integration of content, and other positive benefits.

Value to Tibetans and Himalayans THL was founded by scholars with a strong sense of ethical commitment to the residents of the areas they study, namely Tibet and the Himalayas. Our goal was to build a project which meets that responsibility in concrete ways, such that our scholarly activity could benefit residents of Tibet and the Himalayas. The following represent the positive benefits that we believe THL can help accomplish in partnership with other organizations:

enable the active participation of Tibetan and Himalayan scholars in international partnerships

publish scholarly resources in Tibetan and Himalayan languages

help educators and the public in Tibetan and Himalayan areas gain access to knowledge from other parts of the world

support NGOs and community organizations aimed at improving education and health care, preserving and strengthening traditional artisan practices, promoting eco-tourism, preserving local languages and cultural practices

support community partnerships and communication across different sectors of society

gain access to the tools and benefits of modern digital technology

We are presently in the process of developing a new site that documents in detail our suggested procedures and actual projects in relationship to accomplishing these aims.

Today's Spotlight: The One Fund
Among the many things we learned last week, we had an unexpected crash course in a subject we hoped we'd never have to study: How to Steer Your Business Through a Terror Attack.
Of course, we've been schooled in Crisis PR, but that is a totally different animal. Crisis PR teaches you how to protect your company against challenges to your reputation. Despite it's name, it teaches you nothing about how to act when you and your city are the ones in crisis.
Looking back over the past week, I have no idea if we, or any other company in Boston, actually rose to the challenge proactively, or just spent the week reacting to situations as they arose.
I can think of things we did well – providing phones, water and bathrooms immediately after the bombing. And I can think of things we did wrong – forgetting to send an email to all of our employees on Monday night offering our thoughts on how we would move forward in the coming week. We're big communicators at UG, but I think we, like everyone, were in complete shock. How could we send an email to that effect, when we didn't even know ourselves? But still, silence was a mistake.
Last week, we knew it did not feel right to send our Spotlight newsletter out on Tuesday, but we got caught up in the "onward, let's move forward" momentum that Wednesday brought. As such, we sent the email Wednesday morning. It talked about Bachelorette parties at UG, and I wanted to throw up when I pressed send. With a week's hindsight, I know we were only pretending to move forward. Inside, we were still hollow.
All of this brings me to today's Spotlight email. A decision finally made proactively, not reactively. Instead of Spotlighting a wine this week, we've asked all of our customers to instead donate to the One Fund. TJ and I will do the same through a personal donation. We can hashtag #bostonstrong on Twitter all we want, but the victims of the Marathon Bombings will need money to assist in their recovery – not just in the near future, but for years to come. The businesses along Boylston Street will need assistance too. Acts of Terrorism are not typically covered under insurance policies. Believe me, we've checked. Some of these business are corporate and have more of a cushion, but many are local and will need our help. The One Fund was created to help everyone affected find a path to recovery.
I hope everyone who reads this blog will click on this link and make a donation – it doesn't need to be big – to The One Fund. This is our way to really, truly move forward while knowing that we're helping those most affected to move forward with us. And I know for a fact that it helps with that hollow feeling.
We're prouder than ever to be a local Boston company, and to have our incredible clients as our extended family.
Boston, You're My Home
Yesterday morning, TJ and I lay in bed and got in a fight over, of all things, whether or not he loves our animals enough. People ask us all the time if we fight, and now you know. We don't fight often, but of course we fight, and always over something stupid.
As I got out of bed he said, "Wait. It was twelve years ago today." And like that our fight was over.
Twelve years ago, TJ and I met on Marathon Monday. He was working at Vox on Boylston Street, I was at Vox drinking and watching the Marathon. It wasn't love at first site for him, but I think it was for me. But I was a slow burn for him, and within a few months we were inseparable. We still are.
Our relationship to Marathon Monday has always been tender. Without the holiday, there would be no us, no Douglas family, no kids. We've always believed our meeting on that day was fate, one of a string of circumstances that brought us together.
Despite all this, we've avoided the Marathon for the past several years. The crowds, the closed off streets, the chaos. It's never been something we wanted to dive into with the kids in tow. It's never felt safe to go down into the crowd with them. But our fears were for stepped on toes, drunk people, and possible separation. We never feared anything like what happened yesterday.
As I watched the images unfold, all I could think of was Boylston Street and fate. Twelve years ago, as I ordered drinks from TJ and tipsily vowed that next year would be the year I ran the Boston Marathon, fate was unfolding in the most beautiful way. Yesterday, at almost the exact same spot as where we met, fate was ticking down to horror, dismay, fear and confusion.
Our hearts break for all of Boston and for the families personally affected by yesterday's events. The day will never be the same for any of us. But Boston is our home, Bostonians are our people. We will overcome this, I know we will.
Ready for Spring? Try the UG Vesper!
*Micah put together our new cocktail sampler with the help of Josh Childs of Silvertone and Trina's. And then he wrote a little blog about it to get you as excited as we are! Cocktails, anyone?
The Vesper, a cocktail brought to us by Ian Fleming, via the book Casino Royale – famously ordered by 007 as an alternative to a straight martini. "Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it is ice-cold then add a large thin slice of lemon peel. Got it?"
The first time I had a Vesper was at a bar that now the name escapes me. I had enjoyed a Collins (Old Tom Gin, Lemon Juice, sugar and soda) and asked the bartender to fix me something. He offered up this concoction of gin, vodka and Lillet Blanc and the rest, as they say, is history. I enjoyed the flavor of the cocktail, but was honestly more interested in the connection to James Bond than I was in the drink itself as the bartender rattled off the famous quote written above.
Legend has it that the drink was created by Ian Fleming and a bartender (or created FOR Ian Fleming by said bartender) at the Duke's Hotel in London, as Mr. Fleming tried to come up with the perfect drink for his lead character to imbibe.
One interesting fact about the Lillet we use today is that it is less bitter than the Kina Lillet that was originally used for the cocktail. They reduced the amount of quinine Lillet Blanc in the 1980s to make the aperitif more palatable to the modern drinker.
The Vesper is a simple drink, but each ingredient serves an integral purpose to the overall flavor; gin offers the botanical base for the flavor of the drink, vodka softens the gin, Lillet adds complexity and some more fruity notes, and lemon peel serves to brighten the whole drink and really let the flavors pop on the palate.
There have been many variations of this drink over the years, different aperitifs, such as Cocchi Americano, being used in place of Lillet different ratios of gin to vodka, the addition of a dash of bitters, etc. We have teamed with Josh Childs from Silvertone and Trina's Starlight Lounge for a series of cocktail samplers we will feature throughout the year at Urban Grape, and this time we have created our version of the Vesper:
2 oz New Amsterdam Dry Gin
1 oz Tito's Vodka
½ oz Lillet Blanc
Garnish with lemon peel
We have put together all of these ingredients with an Urban Grape cocktail shaker in one convenient package for just $60. We hope you enjoy the cocktail as much as we do!
Wine, It's a Riot!
Another Boston Wine Riot has come and gone and the staff at UG have lost our voices and, perhaps, our sanity. We love being a part of Wine Riot (this year we manned a rosé table), but it's tough to talk to people for five hours about anything, much less people that are getting progressively drunker and drunker!
Here are our reflections from Boston Wine Riot, 2013.
If the mission of Wine Riot is to present wine to a new generation of people in a fun and non-intimidating way, then they're succeeding. Loud music, food trucks, features like the Bubbly Bar, and tables focusing on regions, are so helpful for giving attendees an entrance point into wine. In general the wines being poured are inexpensive, which also helps to convince younger people that good wine can be for them too. Oh, and did I mention the tattoos? The attendees love them, and so do our kids who are now covered in temporary ink encouraging people to "Drink More Wine!"
There is always a new star to be found. Three years ago, TJ tasted Travessia wine for the first time and placed an order on the spot. We've been huge fans of Marco's ever since. This year, it was Blue Crane Imports with their fantastic portfolio of South African wines. This is good, inexpensive juice and you'll be seeing it on the shelves at UG very soon. If you tried the Blue Crane wines and want to place an order through us, we can make that happen.
People get seriously shitfaced at Wine Riot. There's food, there's water, there are spit buckets, there is everything you need to taste wine and not get trashed. Yeah, not happening so much at Wine Riot. It is a den of drunk people by the end. Our favorite moment was on Friday night when a woman came up and asked TJ if she could taste the clear rosé he was pouring. TJ kept saying, "This one? It's not clear, it's just a light pink. Does it look clear from there?" She kept on insisting that she wanted to try the clear one, please can I try the clear one, not the light pink the CLEAR! TJ finally realized she was pointing to the empty bottle. Oh boy.
Sometimes the number one wine comes in at number two. Travessia's new rosé was voted the #2 wine of the Riot. Something called Relax Riesling in a blue bottle came in #1. We're going to forgive you voters and chalk it up to being a little drunker by the time you got to that table. Marco's rosé is phenomenal and will be a favorite of yours all summer. We've got it in stock at both stores and will keep ordering it until he runs out. It's limited production, so make sure you pick some up soon!
If you work at Wine Riot, bring a gallon of water and cough drops. Our staff that worked the three time slots sound like a bunch of 80 year old smokers. They are such troopers and their enthusiasm for the rosé we were pouring made our table one of the most popular of the Riot. Great job, Team UG!
So long, Wine Riot. Have fun touring the country and see you back here next year. We'll be resting our voices and our feet until then.
Farm & The Fork
Admission: I have CSA envy.
I want to be a CSA person. Every summer I dream of signing up, but we're away so often that I fear I will return home to a fridge full of rotten vegetables. I want to do a winter CSA, but fear week after week of rutabaga (my apologies to all you turnip lovers). Mostly what I want is someone to think of what I should eat each week, do the shopping for me, and deliver it to my door so I can have the pleasure of cooking it, but not the pain of planning it.
Enter Farm & The Fork.
Christine Doherty is just about the most energetic woman you will ever meet. She loves food, and, let's face it, I love people who love food. She's come up with what at first seems an improbable business plan because it's everything you wish you had time to do, but don't. Each week, she drives all over New England sourcing the best seasonal ingredients from the finest farms, meat farms, fishermen, artisanal producers, bread makers, dairy farmers and more. Then, she separates it into CSA boxes and delivers it to your door. Christine Doherty is the anti-Walmart.
That's not it, however. Along with your fresh eggs, your bay scallops, your pork tenderloin, your fresh baked bread, your specialty jam and all those vegetables are recipes. Lots of recipes. All amazing ideas of how to combine your bounty into spectacular meals. And, starting with her Spring Season, there will also be beverages pairing suggestions from The Urban Grape!
We know that this all seems too good to be true. That's why we want you to meet Christine this Saturday at UGSE from 2-5 (don't worry, she'll be coming to UGCH too!). She'll be sampling all sorts of treats that she's picked up in New England this week, as well as pairing her braised short rib recipe with some Slumbrew beer.
CSA envy no more.
Ken Wright Cellars Futures!
But let's back up a step and explain what makes these wines such treasures. Ken Wright Cellars produces 12 single-vineyard Pinot Noirs from the Willamette Valley. Each vineyard has its own unique volcanic or sedimentary soil, the expression of which is what makes the single vineyards so terroir-driven. The grapes from each vineyard go through the same winemaking process after they are picked – the differences in the wines come from terroir alone. This fact is enough to make any wine geek freak out.
Ken Wright runs one of the most meticulous farms in the world. A step beyond organic and biodynamic, the vineyards are tended to with "nutrition-based farming." This means that the vines are regularly tested at the soil and leaf-stem level to see what nutrients from the ground are getting into the vines. If a nutrient is missing, it is added to vineyard in order to produce grapes that, literally, lack for nothing.
But we know the proof is in the pudding, and asking anyone to buy a wine future when they've never had the wine is tough to do! That's why, for this week's Spotlight, we're offering six of our favorite single vineyard bottles from the 2010 vintage at a 25% discount. Try these wines, see how the characteristics of the vineyard appeal to your palate, and then place your futures order for arrival in November 2013.
- 2010 Guadalupe Vineyard
- 2010 Carter Vineyard
- 2010 Meredith Mitchell Vineyard
- 2010 Nysa Vineyard
- 2010 Savoya Vineyard
- 2010 Abbott Claim Vineyard
We are so excited to bring you these exceptional wines. If you have any questions, please email TJ directly and he will be happy to work with you. The pricing for the futures is the same as the 2010s at $65/bottle. If you are ready to place your order for the six-pack OR any of the 12 futures, please email Leah to place your order, or call UGCH at 617.232.4831.
Can You Can-Can?
*Everyone is doing it – even Sam Adams! Beer in cans is all the rage. In today's blog, Craft Brew Ben tells us embrace the trend!
Many of you have probably seen one of the latest trends in craft beer – cans. You might be saying, "Hey Ben, aren't cans bad for beer?" To which I would say, "No!" In actuality, cans are better for beer (and the environment!) than glass is. And here is why:
-What causes a 'skunked' or 'off' beer is usually direct sun exposure. While dark glass reduces the risk, cans completely cut out the chance of sun exposure.
-Americans are twice as likely to recycle aluminum cans as they are to recycle glass!
-Cans take less energy to make and ship which = better for the environment!
-Cans don't weigh as much as glass bottles, this makes them cheaper to ship. Cheaper to ship = less expensive beer!
-Cans are more portable than glass – take them with you everywhere you go!
Don't be afraid of cans!
The Palate Revolution
You know how sometimes married couple start to look like each other after they've been together for a long time?
While I don't ever think that will happen with me and TJ, we do have other ways that we have subtly morphed into the same person over the years. Some are funny (like completely random fist pumps to music while driving in the car, always good for a laugh), others are spooky (I'll be thinking of something I need to ask him and he'll turn around and answer me – weird, right?), and others are practical. For example, while we're unsure of the reason, our palates stay in complete sync with each other over the changing seasons, years, etc.
I say this is practical because almost every day we see couples at UG that can't agree on wine. There is nothing more tragic than two people in love, one with a dry palate and one with a sweet palate. Tragic, I tell you. Just imagine the cocktail hour strife!
I used to think our tastes melded because I have such a malleable palate that, like a dog falling in line behind the pack leader, my palate would mold to TJ's more distinct likes and dislikes.
But over the past year, I've noticed that big palate shifts will happen to us both, almost on the same exact day.
Case in point: at 2 pm on Saturday, February 17th, standing in the Grand Cru room at the Boston Wine Expo, surrounded by big, bold American reds, TJ and I could not find a wine we liked, except the Spanish wines from Olé Imports. While we have an appreciation for – and sell – wines from every region, at home we drink primarily Italian and American wines. It's always been our wheelhouse. So imagine our collective shock when I said to TJ, "I don't know…I think I'm starting not to like Californian wine as much." And TJ said, "I know, right? Me too." A huge palate shift happened to both of us at the same exact moment.
The problem is, a lot of California wine has gotten TOO big – too much wood, too much fruit, too much alcohol. The first sip tastes alright, but then there isn't much to make you want to head back into the glass. Now there are huge exceptions to this rule. I'm presently obsessed with the Banshee Mordecai, which is primarily Napa Cab. But it's blended with 12 other wines and has so much finesse. TJ will never truly give up Napa Cab, and he shouldn't as there are fantastic producers in the region, but he's much pickier about what he drinks these days from CA. It's got to have balance and not light your face on fire with high alcohol.
And where have our palates traveled to this week? Spain. It has truly been the week of Spain at UG, starting with that Olé Imports table and culminating in our tasting of all the Muga wines last night with Manu Muga. Big and bold? A lot of the Muga wines were. Tons of flavor? Absolutely. Finesse, style, elegance? In abundance. The feeling that you can't wait to take another sip? Believe me, we've been reveling in these bottles. The Spanish wines we've been tasting, especially the Muga wines, have it all, and we are going to start featuring them in a big way this spring and early summer.
And this is the amazing thing about wine. Palates change, preferences come and go, explorations of taste and texture are there to be had. If you're lucky, you have someone by your side – a family member, a wine club, a group of friends – to experience it with you and share in the excitement of discovering a new varietal or region or bottle. If you don't have a wine buddy yet, or if you have a home with divergent palates, come to UG and let us be that person! As you can see, we're evolving every day too. And that's what makes it so fun.
We'd love to hear – in what ways has your palate changed over the years? Has your palate melded to another's? Please tell us!
The Winemakers Keep Rolling In!
Last night, Giorgio Rivetti of La Spinetta helped us start a new tradition at UG – he signed the wall in our back room. And did it with quite a flourish, I might add.
Tonight, we get to add another winemaker's signature to the wall, that of Thomas Houseman of Anne Amie Vineyards in Oregon.
Thomas is a winemaker that got his start in home brewing. We definitely haven't heard that story before! His path led back and forth across the globe until he landed in Willlamette Valley, specifically in the AVA of Yamhill-Carlton. It was here that he became the winemaker for Anne Amie Vineyards, and became known for producing some incredible Pinot Noir.
But Pinot Noir is just the start for Anne Amie. The vineyards grow a wide array of grapes, most of which Thomas will be tasting at UGSE tonight. In addition to several Pinot Noirs, he will also be tasting his Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, a dry Riesling, and his very popular dessert wines, Anne and Amie. Thomas' wines are known for their balance, elegance, power and style. It's going to be a real treat to have him in house tonight. Though we've not met him yet, we can tell he has a TON of personality!!
Please join us at UGSE from 5-8 for this tasting. UGCH has a great tasting as well – Diabolique Infused Bourbon. It's literally a whiskey cocktail in a bottle. Absolutely delicious and a new fave of the UG staff. See you at the stores!

Series: Excerpts from "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution"
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
Series: Evolution Basics
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Evolution and Immunity: Same Story?
The evidence suggests that God has chosen to work through a random process, one which involves the routine creation and destruction of millions of cells that never get used. This is the ordinary means by which God maintains our health. The miracles of healing recorded in the Bible are miraculous precisely because they don't occur by this normal, natural process.
A Scientific Commentary on Genesis 7:11
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
Surprised by Jack, Part 3: Mere Depravity
"Man is now a horror to God and to himself and a creature ill-adapted to the universe not because God made him so but because he has made himself so by the abuse of his free will. To my mind this is the sole function of the doctrine [of the Fall]."—C.S. Lewis
Series: "And God Saw That It Was Good": Death and Pain in the Created Order
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
Series: Behe, Lenski and the "Edge" of Evolution
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
Series: From the Dust
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
Shaping the Human Soul, Part 5
We need to have an account of Sin in terms of habit. A lot of Christians today think of "sins" and discreet choices, but historically Christians have thought of Sin as a habitual tendency and disordering.
Science and the Bible: Theistic Evolution, Part 4
Scientist-theologians who write about TE also think about creation and theodicy in terms of divine "kenosis" and eschatology. So today we'll conclude our "implications" section by returning to creational theology, and then turn to the ways TEs re-think Adam and Eve in light of human evolution.
Death and Rebirth: The Role of Extinction in Evolution
When they imagine evolution, many Christians picture novelty: new species arising over time, or speciation events. But as the most recent Southern Baptist Voices exchange makes clear, many Christians also focus on the role of death in evolution—something that can be a stumbling block.
Series: Southern Baptist Voices: Evolution and Death
This exchange brings together related essays on death in light of evolution and Scripture from Southern Baptist theologian Dr. John Laing. Laing argues that evolutionary theory requires death to play a central role in the creation of new life, but sees Scripture depicting death only "as an invader, disturber of peace, and a force of evil." A BioLogos response is given by Dr. Jeff Schloss.
Becoming Human: New Insights from Genome-wide Functional Genomics
We live in exciting times for a geneticist: more and more genomes are being sequenced, and more and more novel genome-wide analyses are being performed to shed light on what all those newly-determined sequences mean.
A BioLogos Response to William Dembski, Part 2
I now respond directly to Dembski's analysis of "Darwinism" and how BioLogos differs from the view he critiques.
Series: Scripture and the Authority of God
N.T. Wright explores the context and manner in which Scripture is authoritative. He does so by questioning the meaning of an authoritative book as well as the application of such authority. Wright encourages us to flee from the controlling "list" mentalities that belittle the richness of God's Word, and rather to understand it as a narrative inspired by God and recorded by ancient persons. Ultimately, God "organizes" his people through his Son Jesus and by the Holy Spirit, and not through extracted rules from the Bible.
Understanding Evolution: Theory, Prediction and Converging Lines of Evidence, Part 1
In science, we don't really know the true way things actually work. What we have are theories—broad explanatory frameworks supported by experimentation, which we can use to make testable predictions about the natural world.
Speciation and Macroevolution
A common challenge to evolutionary theory is that while life does indeed change over time (what is known as microevolution), no one has ever seen one species evolve into another species (macroevolution).
Possibilities and Second Chances
In today's video, Dr. Rick Colling states that evolution is not merely the imposition of death and destruction and survival of the fittest. Rather, it is about second chances.
Is There "Junk" in Your Genome? Part 2
Despite their somewhat mysterious nature, transposon sequences make up a staggering 45% or more of our genome. They are the perfect parasites: using their host to provide resources, they maintain a "lifestyle" so simple that replication is essentially their only feature.
Behold, the Man
Anyone interested in the faith and science conversation knows that there currently is considerable, heated debate over the problem of "Adam." I'd like to suggest that this argument is in significant ways misplaced.

Topic Overview
Is it normal for a child to bite?
Most children younger than age 3 bite someone else at least once. Most children stop biting on their own. Biting that happens past age 3 or that occurs frequently at any age may need treatment. Biting isn't always intentional, and a bite from a child rarely causes serious injury to another person or poses any health risks.
Why do children bite?
Children bite other people for different reasons, depending on their age.
- From 5 to 7 months of age, children may bite when they feel discomfort around their mouths, such as when they are Reference teething Opens New Window. Most often they bite their caregivers. Sometimes a young baby bites his or her mother during breast-feeding.
- From 8 to 14 months of age, children may bite when they are excited. Most often they bite a caregiver or another child close to them.
- From 15 to 36 months of age, children may bite when they are frustrated or want power or control over another person. Usually they bite other children. Less often, they bite their caregivers.
- After age 3, children may bite when they feel powerless or scared, such as when they are losing a fight or think that someone is going to hurt them. Biting at this age may be a sign that a child has problems with expressing feelings or self-control.
When is a child most likely to bite another child?
Biting occurs in a variety of situations, most often when many children are together, such as at day care. Most biting can be prevented when adults help children find better ways to express their feelings.
A child of any age who frequently bites other children may need special arrangements for day care. If biting becomes an ongoing problem, parents may be asked to take their child out of a day care center.
Can biting be a sign of a more serious problem?
Biting in young children usually doesn't lead to behavior problems at a later age. But children who bite others often and act aggressively in other ways, especially if they are older than age 3, may have health problems or emotional issues. These children should be seen by a doctor.
What can you do about your child's biting?
Not all biting can be prevented. What you can do to reduce biting depends on how old your child is and why he or she bites. For example:
- For teething babies, give them teething rings or a frozen washcloth to chew on.
- For children ages 8 to 14 months, tell them that biting hurts other people. (Children this age are often not aware that bites hurt.) If your child bites you or someone else, react with a firm voice and say something like, "No! We do not bite."
- For children ages 15 to 36 months, help them find other ways to express their feelings. For example, say something like, "Use your words to tell Susan that you're angry at her for taking your truck."
Learn to recognize the signs that your child is about to bite. You may be able to stop the biting before it happens if you can distract or redirect your child. Don't try to reason with young children or have long talks about biting. Use simple and direct language.
Positive reinforcement also helps. Praise your child when he or she shows behaviors that you want to encourage, such as sharing, being kind, or being patient. A reward can be as simple as giving your child a hug or a pat on the back and telling the child how well he or she is doing.
Be sure to model the behavior you would like to see in your child. Avoid angry outbursts, and set a good example by showing your child how to deal calmly with everyday frustrations. When a child bites:
- Don't bite the child back to show how it feels to be bitten.
- Don't wash out the child's mouth with soap.
- Don't pinch, slap, or use other physical punishment.

What i can with these? i dont have much, and i really dont know her well...but wanted to give her something. any ideas for a pattern to use..i know it will be small..which is fine.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Kim - Strut526, | |||
close up of the cute fabrics.. | ||||
Maybe some Burp Cloths? | ||||
Butterfly blocks from the colors, and the bug fabric piece for the back? One yard is a good size for the back on a little baby quilt. My guild makes tons of baby quilts that size. Butterfly block I just happen to have open on a web page right now.... http://www.redpepperquilts.com...-block-tutorial.html Except I'd PP the 2 side units so I wouldn't have to fuss with fabric at odd angles without a foundation under it. But how fast would those blocks be -- you don't even have to make any seams or units match in the middle, because that strip is there! You could use white or hot pink for the background instead of black, and make scrappy butterflies, if you have other pinks & greens in your stash. You could UP size the butterflies to cut down on the number needed, too. | ||||
How about split rail fence blocks with the 4 1/2 yards.. and cut the yard up in the same size blocks and alternate them for a quilt top. www.pigtalesandquilts.com www.crazyquiltingsupplies.com Crazy Quilting is addictive so we just have to STITCH IT OUT LOUD! | ||||
Not sure if you have enough for a warm wishes but the fabric just screams that pattern to me Lisa ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I know how you turn a blanket into a quilt, Mom. You add some love to it." ~ J., 7/08, age 7 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||||
What a cute quilt! i may be able to pull a few more colors to add to it..i am stash busting right now..DO NOT want to buy any fabric for this! | ||||
i cant visualize it.. the little bugs left whole as a block and use the others as a rail fence? | ||||
ok, now i understand Quiltaholic, just say this one by wannaqlt: http://boards.hgtv.com/eve/for...033959647#1033959647 | ||||
The pattern that Q4K sends in their kits would work-it alternates 4 patch and squares of a print-maybe use the two light colors for the 4 patch, bugs for print and darker pink for border. ETA: Just noticed there are three light fabrics-might use lighest color for narrow border. KarenThis message has been edited. Last edited by: May Baby, | ||||
Kim, I had to chuckle when I saw your topic name--like your neighbor would have an old baby! LOL! How's my buddy Joe? | ||||
Warm Wishes: http://www.quiltmaker.com/cont...Wishes-crib_size.pdf Rail fence alternated with solid blocks. Lisa ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I know how you turn a blanket into a quilt, Mom. You add some love to it." ~ J., 7/08, age 7 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||||
One of the LQS that I often shop at sponsors quilt-making efforts for a children' hospital. Here's the method they use for the quick and easy quilts. http://www.thesilverpenny.com/...rojectCribQuilt.html The make a slight change in the pattern to make it even simpler. They use width of fabric strips and do not add any borders. I've make quite a few of these and, though they aren't intricate in design, with your cute fabrics it would be really cute. Here's a pic showing a couple of 4-H girls with the quilt they made this way. | ||||
If you are looking for something easy, the baby size "Yellow Brick Road" pattern calls for 6 FQs plus 1.25 or 1.5 yard depending on the size of the quilt (48"x48" or 48"x57") yards for border and binding. | ||||
Kim....just let me know if you need more fabric...I have lots of stash and I'll mail it down... I'm sure I have a back for you and or some more coordinates,but I'll have to do it next week....going to AQS convention in Grand Rapids Wednesday and Thursday and don't have a spare minute until I get back...I have company too... PS...Is it a girl???This message has been edited. Last edited by: TcMay, May "In Michigan" | ||||
KC, Joe started back to work yesterday. 13 hr shift. After 5 months of being off work, i was ready for him to go back. We will see how he does. Lots of great ideas here! I am thinking the split rail/warm wishes will show off the cute bug fabric the best. Thanks for all the help! May, i have lots of fabric,it is just a matter of looking! thanks for the offer! | ||||
i cut it this morning.i think it will look ok! | ||||

I had viewed this thread before and when I saw the fabrics I immediately thought WW!! Was going to make a comment to that affect but someone already had....such good ideas (as always) everyone had! So I had to come and see the finished top! Just Perfect! Beautiful! Your neighbor is going to love it! "People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within." Elizabeth Kubler-Ross | ||||
Kim, that turned out just darling, bet the new mom will be impressed and it doesn't look like you just made it from your stash, great job. TFS the finished quilt. Pat | ||||
Gotta love a stashbusting quilt! The BEST kind! | ||||
i was happily sewing the binding strips together this morning..started pressing it, and guess what? i sewed them together wrong..the seam is on the right side of fabric! ROFL! so i took it outside on the deck, and unsewed them all..while watching the hummers on my flowers.. | ||||
