They closed the vineyard that makes the port wine on Whidbey Island. It’s part of St Michelle’s wine. I’ve been looking for it forever!

Comment on Pairing Chocolate with Beer by Vivian Mycroft

Nancy listed my 3 favorites from the event. Each brewery made a specialty beer leveraging one or more items from Theo Chocolates and also paired one of their regular lineup with a Theo confection. Each brewery did a “made with” and a “paired with”. Made for a fascinating evening. Like Nancy, I, regretfully, could not taste each offering. I hope Washington Beer Blog does this again so I can sample more.

I am not familiar with Eugene so I am not sure about your wine store options. Wine World, our sponsor, carries Whidbey Port and they are opening an e-commerce site later this week. They might be able to ship it to you once that site goes live.

I too have been looking for Whidbys Port and safeway said they would order it. After that i would have to locate it on the ShELF ?
Fred Meyers in Eugene said they couldnt get it.

WHERE CAN WE GET IT ???

These pumpkin seeds with the stout were an amazing surprise! This treat is worth the slimy mess of cleaning pumpkins. And, heck, the more jack-o-lanterns the better.

I use to think I just was not a fan of “big” reds, but wound up changing my mind after tasting a 2004 Barons V Cabernet Sauvignon – a well balanced Cab that pairs perfectly with food. I am looking forward to trying the latest vintage by Barons V and see how it compares with the other Cabs from around the world.

Is it good luck or bad luck to be the first to share my love of Cabernet? We shall find out!

At Debuts and Discoveries, I was blown away by the Glencorrie Columbia Valley Cabernet. It isn’t the cheapest Cab out there but when you taste that good, you don’t have to be. This is big and complex but not overpowering.

Comment on 2011 Fremont Oktoberfest Tips by Ed

I ended up going to Fremont Oktoberfest again on Saturday. Unfortunately a lot of my favorite beers where gone. I did get to try Sound Brewery’s Humula Nimbus again and it was even better than I remembered.

Lesson learned: if you are a beer geek be sure to go on Friday for the best beer selection.

Beautifully put Bean. Gil and JD opened up their home and their wines to us and it was an incredible time. I too looked forward to more adventures with Gil and will remember him fondly.
