Spring is definitely in the air. While most smell the fragrance of blooming indigenous Nevada plant life, Charlie and I let our imaginations run and our senses wander to the sweet pungent smell of salt water and fresh salmon.

But, alas, the wild salmon season has disappeared this year from California and Oregon. There only has been a smattering of Alaskan wild salmon. Even in its limited amount and at the request of two of our favorite customers, Mark and Maria, we wanted to share this absolutely delicious recipe for salmon. We recommend a crisp pinot grigio or slightly floral viogner with this dish. One of our favorites and favorite wine families is Sabon Estates in Plymouth, Calif.

Just a reminder that we are inside five weeks to the opening of our Farmer's Market and the Curry Street Promenade. A special thank you to all who shared their time and talent as well as contributed to the fruition of the flower basket program for our downtown and most especially to Dale Hildebrand and her master gardeners who donated their planting skills. With this same continued energy it is Karen's hope that next year the baskets will be planted through our own greenhouse program. As always Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy!
