Dear Santa, I have been a

very good girl this year. Please bring me some

wine …

Chardonnay is known as the wine which has “something for everyone.” It is the most diverse – and most planted – white wine grape in the world. It is used for everything from rich Sonoma Chardonnay to light-and-zesty “Blanc de Blancs” Champagne. Hopefully this article will help you understand various styles of Chardonnay so you can pinpoint the one that’s right for you.Two Major styles of chardonnay - If you like the idea of butter in your glass, you’ll love the classic style of oak-aged Chardonnay wine. On the other hand, if words like “Pinot Grigio” make you feel woozy with love, then your perfect Chardonnay is the unoaked kind. How can one sin-gle grape offer such a variety of flavors? Well, in addition to the difference in winemaking (oak vs. no oak), ripeness has a lot to do with flavor. A very ripe Chardonnay will have flavors more towards tropical fruits like pineapple,

guava and mango. A barely ripe Chardonnay will have green apple and lemon flavors.creamy Flavors – Some Chardonnays taste creamy. The smell of vanilla, butter, coconut and dill are all attributes of oak-aging. However, the texture that some Chardon-nays have that can be described as Oily, Creamy, Smooth or Waxy are from a special kind of fermentation. After the wine is fermented, an additional fermentation called Malolactic Fermentation (MLF) will give wine an oily texture. MLF turns tart malic acid (the acid in apples) to smooth lactic acid (the acid in milk). A malolactic fermen-tation involves a different kind of yeast that gobbles up malic acid and releases lactic acid. If you want a rounder, more creamy-feeling wine, look for wines that have gone through MLF.serving Temperature - Temperature can significantly af-fect a wine’s aromas and flavors. When it comes to serv-ing temperature, a wine should be just right. Too hot and the wine’s alcohol will be emphasized, leaving it flat and flabby. Too cold and the aromas and flavors will be muted. Too often, white wines are served straight out of a fridge (too cold) or opened at a toasty room temperature (too hot), neither of which is ideal. For Chardonnay, oaked is best served at 54 degrees F while unoaked is best served at 48 degrees F.Food Pairing – Unoaked Chardonnays are great with light and delicate food such as lightly cooked shellfish, steamed or grilled fish, chicken or vegetable terrines, and pasta or risotto with spring vegetables, creamy vegetable soups, and ham or cheese-based salads. Oaked Char-donnays can handle an extra degree of richness such as eggs Benedict or steak with white sauces. Fine rich fish, grilled veal chops, and late summer vegetables such as red peppers, butternut squash and pumpkin are all terrific matches.

Happy tasting!– nancy Biggs, Wine Aficionada

delight in the sight and smells of the season

Oh TannenbaumI love this time of year. I love the opportunity to put on

sweaters, scarves, and my wool coat. Not everyone will agree with me but, most will agree that the preparations for the holi-days can bring a smile to even the grumpiest Grinch. Origi-nally brought in to the home to remind us that our world is only resting for a while, pine trees and boughs represented the ongoing cycle of life and that Spring would eventually return. Who doesn’t remember that glorious smell our Christmas tree would infuse our homes with? These are magical moments and memories that never fail to make me feel like a kid again.

Our evergreens provide shelter and food to many animals, including us. Pine nuts are a delicious addition to salads and side dishes and are essential to making pesto, but it doesn’t stop there. People have been making medicine with Pines and other conifers for thousands of years.

The simplest way to use pine is to make a simple tea of the needles. Pour boiling water over the needles and let sit, cov-ered, for 15 minutes. Strain and enjoy a refreshing cuppa. There is an abundance of vitamin C, which is perfect for keeping us healthy during the Winter months. It was once used to prevent scurvy for those unable to get fresh fruits and veggies during the winter. It is very effective for upper respiratory problems and a good way to fight off colds and coughs. Pine needle syrup

is a sweet way to enjoy these benefits as well.Pine is antibacterial and antifungal (a footbath with pine

needles may help to get rid of athlete’s foot) and soaking pine needles in vinegar makes a great spray for sterilizing surfaces. I’m a fan of poultices and a cloth soaked in pine tea can disin-fect a wound that starts turning red.

While needles from your Christmas tree should never be in-gested, putting them in a pot of water to simmer on your stove makes an excellent air freshener and using them for mulch is an inexpensive way to protect plants in the winter.

I would be remiss to leave the sap out of this article. Pine sap is great for wounds and can actually act as a glue to close them. Salves made with pine sap are, again, antibacterial and antifun-gal so this is a great addition to any first aid kit.

We have no shortage of evergreens in our beautiful state so this medicine is available to all of us, nature is a willing ally in our health. Take advantage of the bounty while the rest of nature is going into hibernation.

I wish you the most wonderful of holidays and an abundant new year.

the sky this Month Welcome to our night-time sky. Please enjoy this month’s tidbits of knowledge. We are lucky to live in a dark-sky area where the heavens can shine through. I hope you enjoy the sky and perhaps learn a thing or two. Happy star gazing!conjunction Junction – Have you always dreamed of seeing the star

Zubenelgenubi? Me neither, but you can see it on the morning of December 10th if you get up about an hour and a half before sunrise. Zubenelgenubi is the alpha star in the Libra constellation. The alpha star in any constel-lation is the brightest star in that constellation. Zubenel-genubi is Arabic for ‘The Southern Claw’. The star was once considered to be part of the claw of Scorpio. Zubenelgenubi is actually a binary star, so if you grab your binoculars, you might be able to see two stars. Get up early, take a look to the Southeast, and you will see the red planet, Mars, next to a star about half as bright as Mars. That star is Zubenelgenubi. If you do not want to get up before dawn, you can see another conjunction in the evening. Take a look to the Southwest about an hour

after sunset and you will see Venus next to Saturn. They will be briefly visible before sinking below the horizon. after a year of Hard Work, it’s Time for a shower – The Geminid meteor shower will send some fireworks through the sky on the evenings of the 13th through the 15th. The meteors will appear to originate from the con-stellation Gemini, which is the Latin word for twins. The twins are named for Castor and Pollux who were twins of the same mother, but different fathers. While the Gem-ini constellation rises in the east around 7pm, the best viewing will be for those insomniacs who are awake at 2am. The waning gibbus Moon will hamper the view-ing a little, but you should still be able to see up to 20 meteors per hour. The meteors originate from granules related to an object called 3200 Phaethon. This object is a bit of a mystery, but might be an asteroid or burnt out comet. As the Earth passes through the debris field of 3200 Phaethon, the particles burn up in our atmosphere as magical, fleeting streams of light. Wrap yourself in a nice, warm blanket and enjoy.

Vision! What a precious ability it is to see clearly. Many of us take clear vision for granted until we lose it.

If you know someone who wears eyeglasses or con-tact lenses or appears to be having visual difficulties, why not give them the gift of sight for the holidays? When you are looking for that unique and greatly ap-preciated gift idea that you want your loved ones to be able to truly use all year long, consider gifting an eye exam or eyeglasses.

There are several ways to give this gift of sight. You can arrange for an eye exam appointment, volunteer-ing to drive them and pay for the visit. If you would prefer, you can give them a gift certificate for a certain amount to spend toward an eye exam or eyeglasses. This gives them flexibility and the knowledge that they may have to pay the difference if the cost is high-er than your budget allows you to give.

Consider gifting an amount toward prescription or non-prescription sunglasses for someone who doesn’t have eye protection from our bright Arizona sun. Or how about contact lenses for that teenager who hates to wear glasses?

For stocking stuffer gifts, there are always small items such as a new case, cleaning products, or a spe-cialty eyeglass holder in the shape of a dog, a fish, a frog, or Picasso’s nose!

Most importantly, it’s a marvelous feeling to help someone see well. The gift of sight - what a wonder-ful gift to give or to receive.

TeRRi at anTone oPTical and dR. ReniTa FRosT

want to wish you all a wonderful holiday season and another year of clear and healthy vision!

Oh, the Holidays!A wonderful, special, crazy time

of year! Over-the-top decorations, twinkling lights, good food enjoyed with family and friends, shared

laughter and silent moments of wonder in the still of the night all make the holidays an extraordinary time of year.

When I was young, we began crafting holiday dec-orations right after Thanksgiving. The “Christmas Ideas” issue of Better Homes & Gardens magazine was our guide. I still buy it, although I don’t think there are as many crafts in it now as there were then. And I still make decorations. One year I made small wreaths out of bells which I tie to the back of the stools at my kitchen island. The jingle as I move a stool makes me smile.

Thanksgiving also marked the day on which I could begin playing Christmas carols on my piano. Now, Christmas carols are about the only thing I play on the piano and I do so purely for my own enjoyment.

That was also the day we pulled out the Christmas re-cord albums – Bing Crosby, The Andrews Sisters, and Frank Sinatra to name just a few.

Holiday baking started a couple of weeks before Christmas. My mom made the cookies; my dad deco-rated them with a little help from me and my brother. My dad also did all the dishes. I go a little crazy with my holiday baking. Last year I made 9 kinds of cook-ies and fruitcake liberally soaked with 151 proof rum. All of which I share with family and friends.

When we were little in the weeks leading up to Christmas, my mom and dad blocked off the living room where magical things happened – oh the ex-citement of waiting to see what was there. All was revealed on Christmas Eve night – a glistening tree, a fabulous train in a winter wonderland setting, and packages that Santa brought. With two rambunctious dogs and three inquisitive cats, I’ve given up having a tree. But garlands, wreaths and lights sill make my living room magical.

Wishing you a magical holiday season!– lynn schmitt

think Cash is King? Verified income & Assets really Count

pccnews December 2019 19

When you are getting a home loan, cash is not king. Getting prequalified for a home loan, whether it’s a govern-

ment loan like VA, FHA, USDA or a Conventional loan like Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, there are three areas that your Loan Officer will investigate and require documentation. Those ar-eas are Credit, Income & Assets. Federal and State law govern the loan process so regardless of where you go to get a home loan, this information will apply.

This article is the first of a 3-part series and will begin with Assets. For simplicity, Assets mean money. Acceptable sources of money to close on a home loan include money in a checking and/or savings account that is in the Borrower’s name and has been in the account for at least two billing cycles. Any deposits into that account other than regular income deposits, will need to be sourced and/or seasoned.

Sourced means the Loan Officer is going to require documen-tation for where that money came from. The most common de-posits we see are from retirement accounts, Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOC), gifts from friends or family members, pre-cious metals converted to cash (like gold & silver) and tax re-funds. Sourcing each type of deposit will require something different but in general what you need to provide is an account statement to confirm the withdrawal (like for a retirement ac-count, gift or HELOC), a copy of the deposited check and third party receipts. If a deposit cannot be sourced (like cash), the

deposit then needs to be “seasoned”.Seasoning becomes a little more complicated so before I talk

about that, let me tell you what are NOT acceptable forms of money to close on a home loan. Those include but are not lim-ited to cash, draws from a credit card, money received from the sale of personal property (even if a bill of sale was executed) or loans against personal property. Essentially anything that can-not be sourced is going to need to be seasoned.

Since all money to close on a home loan needs to come from a bank account in the name of the borrower, in order for those monies to be seasoned it must be in the account for at least 2 billing cycles. So for example, if you deposit $10,000 into the bank today (November 18, 2019) and your statement closes out at the end of November, you will want to provide your Loan Of-ficer December and January statements before those monies are acceptable for use for a home loan.

Meet with a Loan Officer at least 90 days BEFORE you plan on looking at homes. It’s important when applying for a home loan to be upfront and honest about your situation. Finding out after you are under contract that you do not qualify for a home loan will only bring frustration into an already stressful process.

travel safety for Medical Marijuana Patients

Question: Do you have holiday safety tips for medical marijuana pa-tients?answer: Remember there are many aspects to staying safe.

When traveling around the state only take the medicine you need while away from home.

If you obtained your marijuana at a dispensary keep it in the original package when possible. If your container has more than what you need while away from home leave some of the medicine at home. Remember registered patients can obtain marijuana from another registered patient so there may not be a labeled dispensary package and that is legal.

Be respectful when visiting family and friends. If you need to use your marijuana medicine at someone’s house, ask their permission as they have a right to say no. You could also try more discrete ways such as gummies, tinctures, skin rubs, vaping, rather than smoking.

Remember when you mix alcohol with marijuana in any form both substances become more potent as they both process through the liver together. You do not want to spend the holidays hugging the porcelain throne.

Registered patients can have marijuana they use as medicine in their pocket, purse, car, or anywhere they deem safe, at home or while travel-ing by car. Arizona does not have a law that states it must be in a lock box stored in your trunk, California has that law, not Arizona. It is a good safety measure if you are the driver to have your medicine out of arm’s length.

There are no states with medical or adult use marijuana programs that allow interstate travel across state lines. You can be charged with smug-gling a controlled substance and for any paraphernalia including the con-tainer. If you are leaving state this holiday season the only safe way to travel is to purchase HEMP products. Make certain your package or con-tainer clearly states HEMP. Hemp is legal across stateliness with few ex-ceptions, Idaho, Nebraska, and South Dakota do not allow hemp CBD.

Remember if you are going to be in a National Forrest or on Native American land, they do not always recognize your STATE issued medical marijuana card.

Airport TSA are not police. However, if they find marijuana in your carryon baggage, they have a duty to confiscate and report it to police, again smuggling.

Wondering where the American Disability Act “Reasonable accommo-dations for the disabled” plays into your defense? Perhaps discrimination is at play while we can travel with opioids and narcotics, not plant based

medicine? You will need to inquire with an attorney.President Lincoln wrote: “Prohibition… goes beyond the bounds

of reason in that it attempts to control a man’s appetite by legislation an makes crime out of things that are not crimes... A prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principals upon which our government was founded.

Have a safe and blessed holiday season! Merry Christmas and a healthy New Year.

Dog of the Month

Cats of the Month

Jake is a 9 year young boy. He is a cattle dog/heeler mix, neutered, up to date on shots, micro chipped, potty trained using a dog door. Jake is a pretty quiet boy, loves to take his walks and smell everything he can. He does get excited when it’s feeding time or time for a walk, and then he will talk to you. Jake is great with other dogs, as long as they don’t get in his face to much, we are not sure how he is around cats.Jake qualifies for our Senior for Senior adoption, which means if you are a senior and are willing to adopt this great senior the fee will be waived. If you are looking for a great mellow boy who would just love to spend his golden years with a family please call AARF Animal Rescue at 928-925-7219.

Does anyone have room in their heart and home for one or more of these sweet kitties? They would love to have a for-ever home by Christmas!These three kitties have been waiting a long time to get ad-opted.

Lou is a 4-year-old, handsome black male. He loves to be on your lap & sleep under blan-kets. He is active and likes to climb to high places. He will need to be a specific diet for a urinary condition.

Luna is a very loving 7-year-old, black female. Her owner had to go into a long-term-care facility.

Smokey is a 6-year-old gray & white tuxedo girl who truly enjoys watching the world go by from a high perch. She is a bit shy until she get to know you. Then loves petting & head bumps. She would do best with older children.

All been spayed/neu-tered, tested negative to FELV/FIV, shots are current and they are litter box trained. They seem to be OK with other friendly cats, but not sure about dogs.If you can give one or more of these sweet cats a good, loving, INDOOR FOREVER HOME, they will give you all the Unconditional Love They Have to Give.

To adopt, contact United Animal Friends, Suzy at 928-848-6191 or email [email protected] meet these cats in purrson, go to Kitty City at PET-CO on Hwy 69. Call for visiting hours.
