The People Behind the Pour House Perhaps you’ve always wanted your own personal sommelier to help you choose wines to go with home-cooked meals. Or maybe you’ve always been mystified by descriptions of wines such as, “an elegant layering of pie cherries, leather and a garden of herbs,” when all you’re really interested in is whether it will taste good. Possibly you’re just looking for a nice spot to enjoy a glass of wine you’ve never tried before. Whatever the reason, customers who find their way into The Pour House on Jibboom Street, Truckee’s newest wine shop, will likely be pleased with what they see — and taste. Owned and run by the husband and wife team of Dean Schaecher and Christa Finn, The Pour House evolved out of the duo’s 25 years in the food and beverage industry. A self-described “wine guy,” Schaecher has managed the food and beverage operations of many local restaurants and resorts, including Glissandi at Squaw Creek and the restaurants at the Sienna Hotel and Read more »

  • In years gone by I have drunk a lot of Zin, but it is almost always consumed within 2-3 years of the harvest.  I have let some high alcohol zins (specifically Opolo Mt Zin) go for 4 years and they had turned flabby and off tasting.  Last night I came across a bottle of Seghesio Sonoma 2007, which is their cheapest and simplest zin, and had it.  ...

  • Bota Box Old Vine Zinfandel 2011

    Snoothrank:

    In my ever-continuing search for quality, consistency and affordability I have found the Bota Box Zin to meet all three of these criteria. The quality is that of a good table wine one would find in a café in Italy or France and is consistently solid. As for affordability, at $17 - $19 for a 3 liter box (4 bottles) you cant beat the price! Thi... Read More

  • Charles Smith Syrah Washington Boom Boom 2010

    Snoothrank:

    Charles Smith Boom Boom Syrah 2010 set the Washington State wine world on fire with his "House Wine" and continues that tradition with the explosive Boom Boom Syrah. As the name would suggest, this is no shrinking violet of a wine. (Though you might detect some violets on the nose of the wine.) If you like your wine unabashedly bold and a bit in... Read More

  • Well most everyone has received their wines and have had them resting for a while. Unfortunately, we had a few shipping issues along the way, but all in all I think we did pretty good. Foxall is the only one not to have received anything yet, while Shi's SS wasn't heard from, but luckily an elf stepped in and sent her some wine. Finally, it look... Read More

  • I heard somewhere that white wines should be stored at the bottom of the home wine rack rather than at the top. Supposedly whites like it cooler (the old heat rises, cold falls theory), Now I know that wine's enemy is heat and changing temperatures, My wine rack is a 44 bottle system which stands about 4 feet high and I do keep the whites on the...

  • I noticed that OutThere purchased seven bottles of a particular wine at $14 and it occurred to me that it was a $100 purchase, and enough to last about a week.  So I got curious, and mentioned in the thread that it would be interesting to know how much per week people spent.  Well, Emark has better records and more time on his hands than I do, a...

  • Okay, we usually don't make brisket for Rosh Hashanah, but this year the wife saw a recipe that she liked with plums and port.  So what to go with it?  Earlier, we had planned a pre-Inquisition Spanish-Jewish meal, and I was all hyped up for Spanish wine, but now I'm kind of dubious about tempranillo with this. So, Rhones?  Something higher in a... Read More
