A Wine Country Chef’s Summer Whew! I made it! What a busy and productive summer catering season it has been! I have run myself- and my amazing staff- from here to there and ALL around Eastern Washington. It was truly a spectacular season with fairly mild weather and as always, such beautiful surroundings. I’ll try to sum it up in a brief (or somewhat brief) paragraph below…

Today I had the privilege to hang with owner Brian Morton and get a sneak peak of Prosser’s Blue Flame Spirits- Washington’s second commercial craft distillery. The Craft Distillery & Tasting Room (yes, I said tasting room) is located in Prosser’s Food & Wine Park on Lee Road- next door to Hogue Cellars, Alexandria Nicole Cellars, Heaven’s Cave, and just a short walk up from Mercer Estates and Kestrel Winery.

My first trip to Washington wine country was to Apex Cellars’ Winemaker Dinner with Brian Carter in 2001. My wife still remembers the final course… a dense pound cake served with fresh plump blueberries and drizzled with the winemakers Late Harvest Riesling, served with a dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream. This was the trip that started me thinking about the endless possibilities available for me here in wine country.
