It is getting to that time of year when family and friends gather for parties, get togethers, and celebrate holidays. If you need another excuse to have people over, then there is nothing better than having a wine tasting party. Especially if you just went on a wine buying spree to fill up your recent dual temperature wine cooler purchase from Comfortchannel.com.  A tasting is best suited for a small gathering, up to six people. As your guests sample the wine share, the history of each vintage, such as which grapes were used.

Have guests sample five different types of wines.  It is fine to mix reds and whites, just serve them in order of lightest to darkest. Since darker wines tend to be heavier. For six guests, have two bottles each, one for tasting, and one for drinking afterwards.

For an easy theme, select vintages that all come from a specific region, such as Tuscany, Napa, or your own state.  A rapid beverage chiller may come in handy for some of the guests that might bring their own bottle and would like to serve it at the party.

From time to time, it is fun to pull back the curtains and share the plans with our loyal customers and supporters about how we are doing.  The answer is, we are busier than ever, with preparations forming for the fourth quarter and how we will deal with the weak economy.  This has been a brutal year for retail and only the strong will survive.  But, this is not a defense of commercialism, it is just our occupation and our way of making a living to support our families.

On that note, we have been swamped by questions from our ebay customer base. This customer segment has a lot of questions that are good for us. Every question helps us discover ways to improve our website. An example is the question about the Merry Products line of Dog Houses. We had a recent question about large dog houses. It was not clear which Merry Dog House was right for larger dogs. The fact is that we offer dog houses for all sizes of dogs. We have a log cabin for large dogs and the large dog house that is designed as a stable. Finally, for the king of the house, we have the Mansion dog house for the large dog in the family. So we will do our homework to make this more easy to find on our site and all other channels where we have a presence.

I was looking through the latest sales offered by local stores to keep tabs on what is the current hot item and I saw that our ergonomic office chairs department does not have any microsuede fabric offerings. But is this really a good fabric for seating over high quality leather fabric found in our top of the line Bodybilt Executive office chairs or even the simple fabric of the Office Master task office chairs or line?  I would think that over time, hair and lint and crumbs would cover the microsuede material and you would need a lint brush to clean it.  But I would like to hear from anyone who has microsuede and tell me if the fabric works in the office. If it does, we will begin to carry this in our already huge selection of comfortable office chairs department.
