WINE, BREAD & CHEESE..  WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR?

We invite all "Locavores" to come to the winery and enjoy a mouth-watering local culinary experience unique to the Pacific Northwest! Guests will sample handmade cheeses served with olives, capers, roasted red peppers and fresh bread all grown and produced here on the Olympic Peninsula. The cheese and bread will be paired with a tank sample of our 2008 Müller-Thurgau.

New Wine Releases & New Labels. Be the first to sample our 2006 Merlot and 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon.  These vintages are also the unveiling of our new  La Dolce Vida Labels featuring 6 commemorative paintings by Seattle artist Christopher Kroehler.  The paintings capture "The Good Life" at Olympic Cellars and are meant to remind us to "Savor the Moment and Cherish the Memories"

We are pairing the Fairaview farm's cheese with our 2008 Müller-Thurgau. made from grapes from Bainbridge Island Vineyards located in the Puget Sound Appellation.  The wine will be bottled on April 22, 2009. 

 

 

THE CHEESE
Fairaview Farm's Pennie Dutro Lujan will sample her “Farm Hand Feta in a crock”.  The Farm Hand Feta is aged 60 days and was made from raw cow milk from Pennie’s own Miniature Jersey milk cows. Cow milk feta is a softer style cheese, often called Farmer’s Cheese.

Fairaview Farm and its owner Pennie Dutro Lujan have a special connection with the land and the dairy barn that is the current home of Olympic Cellars. The winery is now located in the Chamber’s barn which was part of the Wayside Dairy Farm, located in the Fairview District of Clallam County, now in Port Angeles. As a young girl, Pennie helped Francis Chambers bag barley among other chores.  More About Pennie Dutro Lujan and Fairaview Farm

We will also be serving a surprise cheese dish prepared by our French winemaker Benoit Murat. We hadn’t decided on a “cheese dish” yet and when I asked Benoit if he had any ideas he said, “Kathy, are you kidding. I’m French. I was born in cheese”. I will come up with a dish. 		 

 

 


 THE BREAD
Bread will be served from the new Bell Street Bakery in Sequim. The featured breads are made with Nash’s organic rye and roasted root vegetables grown in Dungeness.
