A couple of weeks ago I had the chance to work with Chef John Sarich at the Col Solare 07 Vintage Release Party. A majority of the dishes were straight from the Chef’s new cookbook “Chef in the Vineyard”. The cookbook opens with the history of Chef as he started working for Chateau Ste. Michelle-“It was the day that changed my life”, he goes on to say how he loved to cook and teaching how to cook. How he owned his own restaurants and returned back to Chateau Ste. Michelle. Through some very approachable, excellent recipes Chef showcases ten great wine estates from Washington, Oregon and California.

Sustainable living is something that is very important to me as a business owner, a chef, and a human being.  We only have one earth and only so many resources. We should appreciate every chance we get to help out.

A couple of months ago I was asked by Andy Perdue- Editor of Wine Press Northwest Magazine- if I’d be interested in the Iberian Judging that was coming up. Of course, I jumped at the opportunity to taste and judge with some of the industry’s finest. The latest issue of Wine Press Northwest Magazine (Fall 2010) that has the results of the Iberian Peninsula tasting is on newsstands now.
