Say cheese! Or, better yet, local cheese -- the culinary operative for the Olympic Peninsula Wineries' third annual Northwest Wine & Cheese Tour, April 16 - 17 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Food and wine enthusiasts are invited to enjoy sipping and savoring new wine releases and ciders paired with a variety of cheeses crafted by local artisan creameries, while reveling in the sights and sounds of nature reawakening on the scenic Olympic Peninsula.
This year Harbinger is honored to pair its wines withGolden Glen Family Creamery from Bow, Washington. Golden Glen is a third- generation dairy farm that has produced high-quality milk for over 40 years, and farmstead cheeses since 2004. The cheesemaker will be on site during the tour to share more than a dozen wonderful, handcrafted cheeses, educate visitors about the cheese making process and answer questions. Wines to be poured throughout the weekend, including the 2009 Viognier, 2009 Raspberry Bliss, and 2009 Rose' de Lemberger, have been chosen on their merits for pairing well with many different styles of cheeses. All of the cheeses being sampled will also be available for sale at the tasting room. In addition to the wines, Harbinger will offer five beers to pair with the cheeses for an additional fee.
