Wine Rack Store Blog

I am prone to emotional decisions; it's often how I choose wine for my wine rack. I'm also a sucker for a baby-in-need. So when someone dropped off a box of kittens at my neighborhood watering hole, what was I to do! These blue-eyed babies probably shouldn't have been taken from their mother yet, but what was done was done. Another family member was the last thing I needed to add to my household: Litter boxes, YECK! Vet bills, UGH! And who knows what diseases and parasites the little mitten (that's "mutt kitten") could be carrying home with it, EWWWW! Yet, I couldn't bear the thought of the last, unclaimed kitten being hauled off to the pound, nor could I stomach the idea of someone being careless and/or negligent with it. So I did what, in my mind, was a step towards saving the world..OK, maybe it was just saving a cat, but it was an act of selflessness, nonetheless.

Now the kitten (maybe we call it Frankie, after Old Blue Eyes, whatdya think?) is yowling away through the night, and I am obsessing over whether or not it's eating and pooping, and whether or not everyone is washing their hands thoroughly after playing with it, and whether or not it's a boy or a girl (the opinion changes regularly)! It also made me think about what it feels like to adopt: whether it's a human, a cat, a dog, a tree, or even a road. Adoption is an act of caring for something that you did not create. It's taking responsibility for life outside of your own. But adoption doesn't have to be difficult, nor does it have to be time consuming or expensive! Our friends at OffsetCarbonFootprint.org make adoption easy. At OffsetCarbonFootprint.org, you can purchase carbon credits, that in affect are like adopting a part of the earth. It shows that you take responsibility for your own carbon footprint, and perhaps even for someone, or something, else's footprint! So, even if you don't want an addition to your family, please remember that just $25 can save the earth!

Now, if someone will please tell me how to train the mitten NOT to use my premium wine rack as a scratching post....

I’m a big fan of the local casinos. People watching fascinates me. I am mesmerized by the sights, sounds and smells, and of course the chance at winning it big always lures me right in! All around me are dreamers: people just waiting to hit the jackpot. If only I had a big bottle of wine for every dreamer I saw this week at the Tulalip Casino and Resort in Marysville, Washington. My 126 Big Bottle Wine Rack would be stocked clear full!

My favorite game is Blackjack. I tend to think I’m pretty good at the game, and sometimes I even win. I have never been yelled at by a fellow player, so I must be doing a few things right. I start with a mere $5, but every time I win, I let it ride. Ride, baby, ride! One of this days it’s going to pay off big time, well, at least it would if I didn’t chicken out and run every time I get up to $20. Once I’m ahead of the game, I gather my winnings and head to OffsetCarbonFootprint.org to save the planet!

I enjoy gambling when I have nothing to lose, but when it comes to storing wine, I believe in a sure bet. That’s why all my wine is stored in my premium Big Bottle Wine Racks!

In our ongoing efforts to make the world a happier, healthier place to live, owner Mike Kitson has founded another organization that will help to reduce carbon secretions made by every day activities. OffsetCarbonFootprint.Org will not only appeal to the big fish such as companies and corporations, it will also be geared towards all of us smaller fish. Families and corporations alike will be able to purchase carbon credits to offset their carbon footprint left on the Earth's atmosphere.

Carbon is produced in almost every activity that you do daily. From driving your car to work to heating or cooling your home, carbon rears its ugly little head every where. The OCF website even has a handy EPA Standard Carbon Emissions calculator so that you can program in your exact carbon output. After completing the calculator, the OCF website automatically converts your carbon into tonnes and suggests the exact amounts of carbon credit that you would have to purchase in order to offset the carbon you produce! Carbon credits start as little as $0.98! The OCF slogan '$25.00 Can Save the World!' really makes sense! Since offsetting your carbon is so inexpensive you can spend all those extra dollars on re-furbishing your wine cellar!
