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.

  • 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...

  • I had a dream … And out of it (re)sprouted an ancient spring fertility rite to save the world, or at least my apartment building, or at least my second story window, from a giant lizard peering in, out at T-Rex days of yore. This ritual requires copious amounts of consumption and goes from there to hobbits and lords who are not yet a-leaping, for reasons to be retold in this fanciful, twisted tale (of fiction?) Just watch the use of Why! The letter, that is. And try to catch on to the inside jokes. (Psst. Another tale inside. Or two.)
This is a truly awfuI, twisted tale of villains and heroes, powerful ale if used carefully, giant beasties and smaller hobbyts, but also renewal and redemption. I will ascrybe to an ancient rytual, back to when the tyme gyant lyzyrds peered into second story wyndows of apartment byldings and no amount of walls could keep them out of such urban non-placated places, save this practice that annually, about this tyme of three-day holiday, would save humanity for another year.  So in this spryng fertility ryte, go consume copious quantities of hunhy grhym cr’krz and jinjer biyr, deprived of its alcohol as worshippers need to be sober-headed...

  • And musings moreover —– A full list of the trios of triumph. The power of threes. A full dozen of these triads, oh make that 13 as we linger, that you will see listed as shopping promptings in three long blocks of store windows of downtown Hudson. Three’s company? Get it? Third time’s the charm. And this is a truism, the words, some of them three letters, chosen to depict their offerings show the diversity of, dare I say it, a Super WalMart.
Here goes the ultimate list of lingo, even if it languishes, in no particular long order, as we go at length into the different kinds of businesses you will find in this locale, starting the list and at its last, two of the many art galleries in our downtown: — Feminist power, love and generosity, and to double your fun, framing, art tchotchkes and earrings, all at the biggest little art and collectables gallery you will see mid-block. — Community, commerce and tourism, touted at the Hudson Area Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Bureau, in a blatant suck up to...

  • And musings moreover —– To skate or not to skate? Not on most Hudson streets and sidewalks, you don’t. Even though most users I’ve encountered have been courteous and safe — saying ‘on right’ as they go by on a fairly busy sidewalk, and not just barely edging past you — the city council in essance banned the usage last fall. I think this goes too far in what amounts to dare I say it, big brother-type stringency. I prefer a more ‘urban’ style ambiance, with a Twin Cities type of bustle. (For what of that is to be found, come Friday, ‘jump’ inside. That post now updated, for more weekend options.) I now start with a joke.
As far as, for starters, the old announcement, “passing on the right,” this was said to me just now by a beautifully tanked woman in a bikini, owning the downtown sidewalk. She was slightly gasping and moaning as she almost carressed my side going by. I ABSOLUTELY REFUSE to read anything into that … Spring has past sprung, we’ve finally had some really hotter weather, and a young man’s heart turns to thoughts of … e-cycling and skateboarders going past. In the last couple of weeks, you can see them again all around our sidewalks and byways, busy and not...

  • And musings moreover —– Shoes and shirt are welcome, to be purchased along with other keepsakes at a new shop or worn in. At least soon while dining at new downtown Hudson eating opps. You don’t need an app, read on, as doors are flipped open … There are still other options and opportunities, after the Wild opted out as flipping goalies, with Filip, only worked for so long. (Not so big shoes to fill. Just flip-flops. See below and under The Headliner for posts on such sports bar shenanigans.) So for now, in a new post, we Rally In The Valley, with eight bands.
A door on the side of a downtown conglomerate of stores, the front not back door, has a sign telling delivery drivers to deposit items in back — but the sign is flipped upside down since the tape slipped. A blipped language I don’t speak. But that’s not the only thing that’s flipped in the downtown. Lots of stores are either open as we speak, or will be soon. We’re talking still in May, maybe, and mostly earlier than later. While we wait with baited breath for the full opening of Max’s Social House. And a pub or another hub...
