The Spirit Seller shows the spirit of Easter and its joyous celebration with hundreds and hundreds of wines — and all the knowledge to give to backup their best usage. And that includes their prices too. And has been for 28 years.

This Easter, why not get your wine that’s a festive part of the dinner from a store that has a full four aisles of that option, Spirit Seller liquors right in downtown Hudson, as they have 28 Easters under their belt as a family-run business. So Minnesotans take note.

— Also make note of this thought of the day — or yesterday. It was set that April 15 be both the day of two certainties, taxes and since it was Good Friday, death. But the U.S. government created another holiday, pushing tax-filing-due-day to Monday, so there was an alteration, in the name of emancipation. So tax prep people may may been missing out on three days of collecting interest, and arose to help tax-minuters after three days. The bottom line? The H&R&B and blues players alike, I’m told, kinda kicked around the idea of funding fewer feet or the floor, so to speak, and putting more on another type of floor, in the from of lobbyists against a flat tax. Hey just kidding, since Their Time Has Come To Be Gone, and I Ramble On, so get back to you with an update in 365, or should we say 361!–

But then, the Spirit Seller still has a series of long and high aisles displaying your favorites in every liquor category. Four of the ten are devoted exclusively to wine, and greet you right when you walk in the door, so they create a hard-to-beat selection — literally hundreds and hundreds of wines — for your Easter, and its dinner, and otherwise celebrating on this holiday that kicks spring into gear. And that extends to making your minosa too. And Bloody Mary’s anyone?
And the cost also is hard to beat, with there always being dozens of great wine specials on top of the regular prices — with their prices cut by several dollars and giving new options weekly — on things that are not just the usual run-of-the-mill. For one example of many, and also topical, if you want to hold out the option of extending your holiday into an Easter Monday, there is CK Mondavi at two bottles for only $10. On a shelf a couple of feet way is a quality pinot gringo for only $6.99. That price range is easy to find at The Spirit Seller.

— New break: We offer an again-current message that converges two of the last three days of holidays, but you might need a musical concordance. We take on two of three, as one, in Uncategorized–

We will now let the Spirit Seller let their story, as with dozens of years in the business, they know it well: “Spirit Seller Liquors is a locally-owned family business serving the Hudson area over 30 years, donating to many local causes to benefit our community! Dick and Carole Fey have been in the business for over 28 years and have been active in the Hudson community for most of their lives. John Kromer, Dick and Carole’s son-in-law, came to the Spirit Seller in 1997, and has been actively managing the store ever since. (And you will typically find him right there, on-site, and ready and accessible to help).
“John, and his wife Jamie will be happy to provide you with wine pairings, catering advice, or just a friendly hello.
“Whether you’re looking for the best-tasting beer when you get together with friends? Or a wine list that’s larger than at any fine restaurant? A place where the prices are much more affordable? Or perhaps you are looking for that classic Vodka, aged Kentucky Bourbon, or other spirits?
“At Spirit Seller Liquor, we’ve been providing residents of Hudson, WI with all of these, at the best possible prices. We buy in bulk, and pass the discount on to you (click to see this week’s specials). That’s why we’re proud to be the “Low Price” leader for this part of Wisconsin, while offering the widest selection anywhere.
“Call us today at 715-386-5995 to learn more about our huge selection of quality wine, liquor and beers and our special discounts.”
So when pairing a wine with ham or turkey, or even a last Lenten foray into fish, there are plenty of choices, no matter if your preference is red or white wine, and so many other options or in-between. And when making a pick to go with the meat as an entre, the store employees are knowledable to guide you in the right direction.
Spirit Seller Liquor knows the importance of great taste, and also etiquette, and likes to share this with their valued customers, they say. Their website offers a full five links, and great references, for coordinating meals or discovering new tastes.
And we know that Easter is not just about wine. People who are especially part of a younger crowd and back home for the first time in a while, but at some point want to get away from the older generations and have a gathering that’s more for kicking up the heels that come with that new Easter dress, the Spirit Seller can set you up with a six-pack or more, or whatever else can set a new tone for a new party.
It is the first liquor store you encounter when coming in from The Cities, across the street from Ziggy’s, Hudson’s main music club, but with even more parking readily available, and on the other side Lakefront Park and the St. Croix River. And the sales tax for such here in St. Croix County is only 5.5 percent, rather than the nine or such number across the river in Minneapolis.

  • I’ll be (relatively) brief and punchy with this headline notation, as we transition to giving you more and sometimes shorter choices. And you may notice some of that as you beckon forward. It’s circular. Like a flush. Be careful what you mix, heads vs. text, drinks vs. food, and all kinds of potions — that may go bump in the night. —– Punchy, potentially, but I digress or progress with a new patriotic addition. And a second edition, an old Obsession, as in a concert.

  • This coulda been Vanna White’s next Big gig In The Sky, if the scaffolding was not so high. So this is how the project went, by the letters and numbers, of get Trump’s name erased from the Kennedy Center. The $250 bill might be tougher. Sad but true. So, What are there more of going on right now, wars or Trump pet construction projects?
So the wall is down. Of letters, that is. Not down by Mexico. Cemented into the concrete. Of the Kennedy Center. Where music has sat. (Near where a now defunct wrestling arena rusts in peace. Or a bloodied White House lawn. With leftover paper cups and plates, more likely bowls and small utensils, anyone?) Or more ornate than inside? A tarp the size of Pennsylvania, the predominant battle state, covers workers as they chip. So geez, how big are the letters? Four times 50 living workers high? But now none remain, or so we are told by flunkies. Or is...

  • Stressed out as a caregiver? She’s back at yah. This is a rare case of a husband and wife being joint caregivers — for each other — aided and abbetted by the fact that they have a lot of the same disabling conditions. So she shovels snow using a walker/scooter, while he cooks gingerly using a microwave and offers her a plate when she sits down, in an easy chair, in a reversal and new take on traditional roles. Whatever it takes. Necessity is the mother of invention. —– In a new add, Towns and the champion Knicks got kicked around but still got their kicks in the long run … As do Norwegian dancers.
A few years back, I wrote an article about Hudson Deacon Tom Kroll and how he did so many extra dutiful tasks, his living out the Gospels tirelessly, when his wife was ill, in addition to his regular job. I was inspired at the time to pen this, about my own lovely, disabled wife — we were separated briefly but now back together with our 40th anniversary this month, as wholehearted caregiving has many strains — and how an atypical view of standard roles, out of necessity, made things work, as far as our approach to work and home that’s...

  • He says, and goes fishing with the boys. She says, then goes to the middle of Texas, inviting her mates to a ranch/villa built for the ages. The bachelor and bachelorette parties were on the same night, but though very different, they had some things in common … like the snakes, at least three kinds, to avoid. (None with exotic dancer.) But while away, they did not avoid each other, completely. He made a phone call. —– Just added, last call included a Carolina cowpoke.
What do fishing, maybe in the dark, thus a Texas ranch, snakes of various types and do they come or stay out after dusk, eating either and only fine food or snacks, and a game of cards — likely just one each — have in common. And no strippers or Chippendales. And an only half or quarter, not full Monty. (Who is Monty anyway?) Or cowboy or cowgirl hats. Although there was some dress-up. More Barbie than boots on, I think. It’s an easy answer, connected and conflicting, but not in all or dirty ways, bachelor and bachelorette parties. One of each...

  • Full metal jacket? Hey, I wasn’t exactly to the point of going Rob Halford. But tastes aside, there must be some reason why after 26 years I was shunned, like going Bob Daisley by Ozzy at his reunion? OK, I know, my style may not have fit with the packed crowd. And the last couple of times for this, I tried to do too much with ad-libbing. So yeah, I get that this time around, I was the somewhat unusual choice to be the one left off the set list, with singers clamoring to get up there. But seriously, just being analytical of strengths and weaknesses as a singer here, no hard feelings. I’m not Dio. (Or Traveling Wilburys, a when jumping inside, inside joke.)
It was clear to me at the most recent Jeff Loven music show in Hudson, for Memorial Day weekend, that there has been a changing of the guard. The sword has been passed. New blood, like Yungblud, has been brought in. And, I must say, loyalty — amongst the devotees who travel frequently and all across the two-state area to virtually all of Jeff’s shows — has been rewarded. They are the royalty, in what just makes good business sense that I can appreciate. In a significant but not unprecedented altering of course, I was not one of those asked...

  • Songs by Napalm Death? A fire swept down my very street today, where the babies were burned. (But alas, a new A/C unit is on its way up the freeway.) The Stones did not leave these themes unturned, either, or should I say unrolled. Oh wait, this all was my cooker of an apartment, and we are not talking the kitchen. But all these matters will become more pressing, a pressure point, as the new normal especially in southern climes is temp well into the triple digits. It is these people, the third world, and their heat stroke not mine, that most concern me. (Another example of hellfire temps just added. Sin after Sin.)
Trial by fire. My broiling heart in my efficiency flat still beats a bit, in concern over those boiling over in worse apartments in a Chicago tenancy, or on an ocean island instantly-burn-your-feet beach or dessert, or forced to endure ice baths just to keep cool — or simply be offered no way to maintain an ice-dripping body other than also read a non-cookbook at the library, or select not a big steak you can’t afford but a 73/27 burger from a freezer and slap it on your forehead. Just not too hard. All these things are ones where you especially today either burn or...
