-- NORTHWEST WINE AWARDS, By Bob Woehler
November's Tri-Cities Wine Festival didn't award a record 23 gold medals because the judges were an easy mark. It was because the wines were just that good.

-- PORT, By John Schultz
A holiday favorite, Port can really hit the spot, especially during the winter months when hearty foods are the order of the day.
