Cheers to Christmas Tree Elegance at the decadent Davenport Hotel.

Here's the perfect way to get you into the holiday Christmas spirit; Christmas Tree Elegance (CTE) is going on now on the mezzanine of the decadent Davenport Hotel. The parade of trees is simply dazzling. Each has a well-thought out theme played out with panache in this elaborate setting.

CTE events include Style Show luncheons, the Gala Dinner Dance, and the drawing of the trees.That's right, the stunning trees with all the decorations and prizes can go home with you in time for Christmas.

This grand event benefits our beloved Spokane Symphony and all 10 trees will go to the lucky recipients on December 11th. Tickets are only $1 each and the trees include cash, trips, furniture, electronics and other crave-worthy prizes and decorations.
(Oh, the chocolate themed tree is so going home with me).

Have a Fireside meal or a cocktail in the Peacock room and make an event out of it. Or even better spend the night, shop, enjoy fine restaurants or escape to the spa. Love the Dav lobby and coffee bar early in the morning.

Indulge. Its okay to be a tourist in your hometown.

If it isn't already, make this your holiday tradition and make a notable difference by supporting The Spokane Symphony.

Cheers!

Marys & Mimosas - Booze for Breakfast

Bringing Back The Breakfast Drink Marys and Mimosas

Both the Bloody Mary and Mimosa make it socially acceptable to drink before noon. While this can be a problem if the drinking continues all day, on its own, a Mary or a Mimosa is a beautiful thing.
The Bloody Mary can be a meal in itself - a healthy sounding one at that with a slightly morbid name. Bloody Marys traditionally are made with vodka and tomato juice which is then heavily spiced and garnished. Some say this drink was conceived in Paris in the roaring 20's. Others trace it back to the 30's as a cure to the dreaded hangover. Either way, this breakfast cocktail has evolved with many twists being added along the way.
The Mimosa, on the other hand, is a mainstay of the classy champagne brunch with a straightforward recipe: champagne or sparkling wine and orange juice. Yes, this is a drink you can make yourself. It was supposedly invented in back in 1925 at a Parisian Hotel. As with most cocktails, there a…

Urban Living - Spokane Style

This was fun! Our story and loft was featured in the Inlander Health & Home magazine. Thank you to Blythe Thimsen, writer and Young Kwak, photographer. We are also very grateful to Heather Hanley of the Tin Roof for helping us design our space. Our ensuite coffee lounge even made the cover. Additionally, the other featured urban space was one of my downtown listings. ♥️

Laurie and James Allen’s new home in Kendall Yards offers lots of light and quick access to all that downtown Spokane has to offer.

A Vibrant Downtown Lifestyle is Luring Residents Back to Spokane's City Center.
"A chicken in every pot and a car in every garage!" Used in the 1928 presidential campaign, and attributed to President Herbert Hoover, the idea of a car in every garage planted a seed that took root. Over the years, along with it came the idea of the spacious house with a yard, the white picket fence and the happy, quiet life in suburban America.
Fast forward to 2018, and nowadays trading in th…

Are some wines more romantic than others?

Absolutely! Port for instance is a seductively slow sip that vies for the title of most romantic wine. Additionally, Port is ideal for winter thanks to the warmth of brandy added during the winemaking process.
I’m thrilled about receiving the highly anticipated release of Quinta de la Rosa’s 30-Year-Old Tawny Port. This collectible port celebrates the thirtieth anniversary since the Father/Daughter team of Tim and Sophia Bergqvist started Quinta de la Rosa in the Douro. This beautiful amber color port is aged well for three decades. Respectfully, slow down and don’t rush this. This is definately a bottle you need to spend some time with. It has enormous elegance and complexity.

Winemaker’s Notes: On the nose, slightly dried fruit aromas with touches of balsamic vinegar, coffee and exotic wood being just some of the components. On the palate it is simply delicious, almost light but with incredible intensity of flavor, soft, mouth filling with great persistence. Food Match: Best served…
