Bella Sera means “beautiful evening” in Italian, and there are few things more enjoyable than a clear, warm evening, spent enjoying good food, good company, and good wine. I rarely venture outside the contiguous United States, but when I do, I always hope for a bon vogage. So, being the bonviveur that I am, I recently sampled a bottle of Bella Sera 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon from my premium wine rack (Oh darn, I can’t lie…I did more than sample).

Bella Sera Cabernet Sauvignon captures the allure and elegance of Italy with grapes form generations-old vineyards. It’s ruby red color beckons to the heart, and it’s bouquet of cherries and currant seduces the senses. The wine is fruit forward with a smooth “easy to drink” interlude, followed by a zippy dry finish. It’s style and grace call for a traditional Gold Grape Wine Charm, but it’s friendly approach bypasses formalities and makes it a wine I’d be happy to serve everyday. It’s great to sip a la carte, or match with red meat, tomatoe-based pastas, and grilled poultry. At under $10 per bottle, I expect this wine to find a home in both my premium wine rack and my Metal Wine Ring Rack.

I have lived in the Seattle area for nearly 16 years and I had never been up the Space Needle until last week. I can’t believe I have managed to avoid it this long. I either didn’t go when my relatives went to visit it or we were always on another adventure while passing by. The price is also a little steep at $16 per person. You could easily buy a good bottle of wine for $16.

The view from the top is pretty spectacular. You can see all of the city, Queen Anne Hill, the Puget Sound, the Olympic Mountains, and much more. I can definitely see why they chose not to tear it down after the World’s Fair. The Needle is 605 feet tall. That is like stacking 168 144 Bottle Premium Wine Racks on top of each other.

This is by no means the best view in Seattle. If you want to see the surrounding area from a higher viewpoint, visit the Bank of America building in the heart of down town.

Now I have read that the American "Big 3" automakers are looking for another 50 Billion dollars to tide them over, until the market for their products becomes profitable. While I am in favor of a bailout where does it end? There has to be a limit put on the bailout. Twenty five Billion has quickly become 50 Billion, and does that become 100 Billion in 6 months? Somebody in Government has to conduct a study and say that at some point, it isn't worth the expense. Actually this has already been done, but I have heard of no results.

Which reminds me. Where is our piece of the bailout pie? Hey, all businesses could use some help to weather this financial storm. A stimulus like the last round will not give us the sustainable growth the economy needs. It had an affect of 3-4 months only. I would like to see some sort of mortgage help for all home owners, maybe a low, low interest rate on two residences, plus while you are at it how about throwing a few hundred billion at the decaying infrastructure in the US. We all need upgraded roads, bridges, mass transit, electrical grid etc. Things are falling apart, and we will be forced to spend the money sometime in the near future. Also, now is the time to start serious alternative energy research and development. Huge dollars I know, but we are headed towards a depression and we need to do everything we can to avoid that.

So, we at the WineRackStore.com are very concerned about the economy. People that aren't working, are not likely to buy our Premium Wine Racks nor other non essential items. Plus there are serious social issues stemming from having lots of unemployed. More welfare, more crime, more drugs, all sorts of social issues we don't want increasing. Many Americans are looking at the election of Mr. Obama as a chance to right many wrongs and this "excitement and hope" needs to be sustained for as long as possible.
