VINE & VITTLES: From disconnected to grateful
Special to the HT The evening I write this, it’s only a couple of weeks and a couple of days until the first hunting seasons begin. This is an interesting statement/position to be in coming from a (former?) city girl who knows next to nothing about hunting (although I am[Read More…]
VINE & VITTLES: More than just a drink
Special to the HT MEEKER | If you’ve visited my store, you’ve probably noticed that I place a strong emphasis on our non-alcoholic selection.

VINE & VITTLES: Peanut Butter = Love: For the Dads
Special to the HT MEEKER | I’m sitting here writing this on Father’s Day morning. Listening to music, while my oven and timers go in the background. Baking time — it’s been a couple of months and it’s not something I do nearly often enough. The funny thing is, I’m[Read More…]

VINE & VITTLES: Toe-May-Toe? Toe-Mah-Toe?
Special to the HT MEEKER | As co-owner of a tiny gourmet grocery, I spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about food — lately, the tomato. Nerdy? Maybe… However, it has a surprisingly rich history, and there are ways to get more out of it than you might expect[Read More…]
VINE & VITTLES – Whiskey? Or… whisky?
MEEKER| I was listening to one of my favorite bands, Skerryvore (https://skerryvore.com)—a Scottish Celtic rock group—wearing a merch shirt from one of the times I’ve seen them live in Denver. The shirt says “Made in Scotland. Powered by Whisky.” I thought, now that may be a fun topic for Vine[Read More…]
VINE & VITTLES – Bites, Bottles & Banter
MEEKER | An amazing opportunity has come my way: I get to write about food and drink, in any aspect I desire—on a recurring basis. Whether it’s recipes, recommendations, history, hot topics (yes, even those pesky rising grocery prices!), or just some lighthearted banter, I get to explore it all.[Read More…]
