Rose still growing in popularity
Over the past couple of years, the sale of rose wines has outpaced reds on many retail shelves. While some trends come and go, this one remains strong and perhaps will grow stronger yet into the future. The reasons are several as the styles of roses are as diverse as the “typical” wine lovers’ palates. These lovely wines can be a quite sweet, off-dry or even very crisp and totally dry. Some are “still” table wines; others are sparklers. They can be made from red grapes, but pressed and handled in the cellar as though the fruit was white. They can be blended from a combination ...

DEAR ANNIE: How to support partner healing from trauma
DEAR ANNIE: My soon-to-be fiancee has had an incredibly hard year. She had ankle surgery and a difficult recovery. She worked hard to get her mental health back on track. She gave up drinking for me.

Right now, I feel like her biggest cheerleader. We have known each ...
