Hoodsport Winery is a small, award-winning winery located on the rural Olympic Peninsula. From the winery, you have a majestic view of Hood Canal and the Olympic Mountains, just as the label depicts. Sample their award-winning traditional vinifera grape wines, as well as their famous fruit wines complete with hors d’oeuvres. Restrictions: Please make mutually agreeable arrangements at least two weeks in advance. All participants must be 21 years or older. Certificate cannot be exchanged for wine or any other products. EXPIRATION DATE: 7/15/2012 DONOR: Hoodsport Winery, Inc. VALUE: $150 6001 3 Liter Maryhill Winery 2006 Proprietor’s Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon This beautiful, laser engraved bottle of award-winning wine is surely something you don’t want to miss! Maryhill’s Reserve for Cabernet is an intensely lush and complex wine, showing off all the characteristics of great Cabernets. DONOR: Maryhill Winery VALUE: $200 TOTAL BOTTLES: 1 6002 3 Liter Archipel Red Blend French for “archipelago,” Archipel is sourced from mountain vineyards that rise above the valley fog as an archipelago island string rises above the sea. Archipel represents a blend of hand-picked, hand-sorted, estate grown Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The longer periods of light at this winery result in better photosynthesis, and the flinty mountain soil produces smaller berries, resulting in more intense flavors. DONOR: Majestic Fine Wines VALUE: $150 TOTAL BOTTLES: 1 Closes at 7:00 p.m. 139 POISON DART FROG SILENT TWO Wine 6003 Duo of 2004 Pine Ridge Fortis Spurred on by an unyielding commitment to quality and innovation, winemaker Stacy Clark created Fortis. This ultra-reserve red wine is a bold reflection of its winemaker’s crowning achievement. The 2004 vintage is awash in lush aromas of cranberry, currant, raspberry, cherry and dried blueberry. Opulently layered with notes of tea, dark cocoa and tobacco leaf, this full-bodied wine offers sweet flavors, a firm texture and silken tannins. It may be enjoyed now or cellared for up to 15 years. DONOR: Gina Gregory VALUE: $280 TOTAL BOTTLES: 2 6004 A Pair of Jacks Enjoy a magnum each of 2009 Saviah Cellars The Jack Syrah and 2009 Saviah Cellars The Jack Cabernet Sauvignon. The Saviah Cellars Winery specializes in producing small quantities of ultra-premium wines that showcase the remarkable qualities of Washington’s finest Walla Walla vineyards. The Syrah and Cab are two of the best wines in The Jack line-up, with the cab featuring rich loads of black cherry fruit and a hint of dark chocolate on the finish. It is a smooth wine with nice structure and balance. DONOR: Saviah Cellars VALUE: $80 TOTAL BOTTLES: 2 6005 Cambria Red & White The Cambria Estate Winery in California produces some of the best estate- grown Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah. Recently featured on an episode of the ABC hit, The Bachelor, Cambria Winery is truly one of the finest around. Experience why with four bottles of Katherine’s Vineyard Chardonnay and four bottles of Julia’s Vineyard Pinot Noir. Both will make an outstanding pairing for your next dinner date. DONOR: Majestic Fine Wines VALUE: $160 TOTAL BOTTLES: 8 140 Closes at 7:00 p.m. POISON DART FROG SILENT TWO Wine 6006 Etched and Hand-painted 6 Liter 2008 Dusted Valley Stained Tooth Syrah This is a blend of some of Washington state’s top vineyards incorporating a co-ferment of Syrah and Viognier in the tradition of Côte Rôtie. Then again, the Southern Rhône couldn’t be left out of the picture so the blend received the beauty of Grenache and Counoise as well. The bouquet floats out of the glass and draws you into all the extraordinary fruit while the ripe tannins provide a silky finish. DONORS: James and Jean Kunz VALUE: $425 TOTAL BOTTLES: 1 6007 Private Wine Tasting for 10 Enjoy a private wine tasting for 10 at The Woodhouse Wine Estates in Woodinville. Woodhouse Estates is a boutique winery passionate about crafting high quality, complex and age-worthy wines. Varietally correct with old world sensibility, their wines are released a bit later than most so that they have an opportunity to rest, integrate and show their fullest flavor complexities. Experience some of the delicious varietals Woodhouse offers, all while enjoying paired fine cheeses. Restrictions: Please make mutually agreeable arrangements. EXPIRATION DATE: 7/1/2012 DONOR: Woodhouse Family Cellars VALUE: $200 6008 3 Liter Blackstone Winery Merlot Blackstone Winery is known for consistently delivering balanced, reliable wines of uncompromising quality. No wine exemplifies these qualities more than their signature Merlot. Now you have a chance to own this 3 liter Blackstone Merlot along with a set of wine glasses. This is a great idea for your next party, or simply to enjoy at your leisure. DONOR: Blackstone Winery VALUE: $200 TOTAL BOTTLES: 1 Closes at 7:00 p.m. 141 POISON DART FROG SILENT TWO Wine 6009 2002 Chateau Ste. Michelle Cold Creek Merlot The 2002 Cold Creek Merlot showcases inviting aromas of pomegranate, raspberry and Rainier cherry fruit notes with a slight hint of caraway. Flavors of black cherry and plum with lively, substantial tannins make this a big palate-pleasing wine. DONORS: Ward and SaDora Hampson VALUE: $100 TOTAL BOTTLES: 1 6010 2007 Duckhorn Cabernet Sauvignon The product of a near-perfect growing season, this is one of the most complex and mouth-filling renditions of Duckhorn Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon to date. Always spectacular, the 2007 is another in a string of great Cabernets from the Duckhorn Estate. Rippling with soft and silky cassis and blackcurrant fruit, there is also a complementary note of toasted tobacco and tea components, and a finish that hints at vanilla. DONOR: Dayna Russell VALUE: $60 TOTAL BOTTLES: 1 6011 1988 Bordeaux Pauillac Duo This amazing Pauillac Bordeaux duo is one for the ages. Deep garnet in color, the 1988 Bordeaux Pauillac Lynch Bages shows a very intense nose of kirsch, plums, tar, leather and earth. It is full-bodied on the palate, with medium acidity, medium supple residual tannins, and flavors mirroring the nose. The middle palate is full and the finish is long and smooth. This wine is drinking beautifully now and it should continue to provide enjoyment for many more years. Rated a 95 by Wine Spectator, the 1988 Bordeaux Pauillac Pichon-Baron is a must have. It is a classic new style of Pichon-Baron, with rich, thick, velvety tannins and complex berry, currant and mint character. Full-bodied, it’s extremely well balanced for showing such impressive power. DONORS: James and Jean Kunz VALUE: $475 TOTAL BOTTLES: 2 142 Closes at 7:00 p.m. POISON DART FROG SILENT TWO Wine 6012 2006 Domaine Serene Pinot Noir This Willamette Valley wine is quite typical of the 2006 vintage in Oregon. It has the characteristics of a warm and classic Pinot Noir that allowed the fruit to fully ripen and for the tannins to become soft and integrated. On the palate it has amazingly rich, powerful, round, and voluptuous fruit flavors. There are amazing pure black cherry notes that combine with hints of strawberry pie, cola, cedar spice and dark chocolate. It is a savory and sexy wine that shows a full throttle richness and depth, and a long, extended finish. DONOR: Lindsey Johnson VALUE: $50 TOTAL BOTTLES: 1 6013 2008 Doubleback Cabernet Sauvignon The 2008 Doubleback is a deep, elegant ruby color in the glass. The beautiful nose displays cherries, wet stones, dried meats and a hint of cinnamon. This vintage is remarkably well balanced on the palate. Cherries, strawberries and pomegranates are all present, mixed with hints of mocha chocolate and cloves. The finish and mouth feel are lush and velvety making you long for your next sip. DONORS: Chris and Angela Faul VALUE: $100 TOTAL BOTTLES: 1 6014 1999 Montevina Barbera Terra d’Oro Amador County’s similarity in terrain and climate to Italy’s finest wine regions allows Montevina to produce outstanding examples of classic Italian grape vari- etals. This Terra d’Oro (Land of Gold) Barbera is a reserve bottling and offers enticing aromas of black cherries, toasted nuts, cocoa and spice with rich, round and soft flavors much like a Merlot. DONORS: Ward and SaDora Hampson VALUE: $100 TOTAL BOTTLES: 1 Closes at 7:00 p.m. 143 POISON DART FROG SILENT TWO Wine 6015 2009 Leonetti Merlot Another one of Leonetti Cellars’ tremendous offerings, this warm 2009 vintage produced a very fine and generous Merlot. It is already drinking gorgeously. The wine has a stunning bouquet of berries, fresh blooming flowers, cedar shavings and mocha. On the palate, it is incredibly long, lush, and soft, with pure fruit and melted caramel. This is a truly hedonistic Merlot and a fine example of why Leonetti Cellars is so well recognized. DONOR: Nancy and Mark Pellegrino VALUE: $125 TOTAL BOTTLES: 1 6016 Novelty Hill Winery Experience for Four Experience Novelty Hill Winery, a new, state-of-the-art winery located in Woodinville. You and three others will get to taste wines from distinguished winemaker Mike Januik, who works with leading Columbia Valley vineyards, including their own estate vineyard Stillwater Creek, to craft Novelty Hill’s Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. Before your tasting, enjoy a magnum of Novelty Hill Cabernet Sauvignon. EXPIRATION DATE: 12/31/2011 DONOR: Novelty Hill Winery VALUE: $120 TOTAL BOTTLES: 1 6017 Egly-Ouriet Champagne This champagne is the expression of a “house” style that comes first and foremost from perfectly tended vineyards.

  • Intrigues and Delights
    AUGUST 2016 SUMMER DRAMA INTRIGUES AND DELIGHTS Sunday nights in the summer are reserved for must-see dramas, and Dancing on the Edge is just that, combining murder and romance with the sultry sounds of 1930s jazz. The stylish new murder mystery series, premiering Tuesdays at 8pm, beginning August 16, written and directed by Stephen Poliakoff (The Lost Prince) follows the rise and fall of the fictional Louis Lester Band, a black jazz band in 1930s London. The band becomes the toast of high society, earning approval from the Prince of Wales, despite the racism and classism they encounter — until Louis finds himself entangled in a murder case. The all-star cast includes Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave) as the debonair Louis, John Goodman (O Brother, Where Art Thou?) as an affluent American entrepreneur named Masterson, and Jacqueline Bisset as socialite Lady Cremone, a performance which won her a Golden Globe. Masterpiece favorites Matthew Goode (Downton Abbey) and Joanna Vanderham (The Paradise) also star in the eight-part series. “Dancing on the Edge is a thing of beauty to watch,” states The Hollywood Reporter. Sharing a similar sentiment, British outlet Cultbox proclaims, “With its blend of compelling storytelling, sumptuous period production values and toe-tapping music, Dancing on the Edge has us hooked for what looks to be a thrilling ride.” Want more drama? The highly anticipated ninth and final season of Inspector Lewis on Masterpiece will premiere on Wednesday, August 17 at 9pm. For the last time, Inspector Lewis (Kevin Whately) and CS Hathaway (Laurence Fox) will investigate new cases of murder and other crimes in the academic haven of Oxford, together struggling with personal dilemmas and their future on the force.

  • Chefs and Restaurant Owners Call to Stop Seafood Fraud
    Chefs and Restaurant Owners Call to Stop Seafood Fraud As chefs and restaurant owners, we are committed to serving seafood that protects our oceans, our wallets and our health. Yet as more seafood is imported into the Unites States, our fish follows an increasingly complex path from fishing vessel to plate, increasing the risk of fraud each step of the way and making it more difficult for us to make eco-friendly choices. Despite growing concern about where our nation’s seafood comes from, chefs, restaurant owners and consumers are routinely given little or no information about the fish they purchase. We rely on our purveyors to supply us with high quality, safe, legal and honestly labeled seafood. Unfortunately, the information that travels with each fish is often limited. Recent studies have found that seafood may be mislabeled as often as 25 to 70 percent of the time for popular species like red snapper, wild salmon and Atlantic cod, disguising fish that are less desirable, cheaper or more readily available. With about 1,700 different species of seafood from all over the world now available in the U.S., it is unrealistic to expect chefs and restaurant owners to be able to independently and accurately determine that the fish they are getting is actually the one they paid for. We should be able to tell our customers, without question, what they are eating as well as where, when and how it was caught. We believe that robust traceability standards are needed for all fish sold in the U.S. – both domestic and imported.
