The Cookbook is here, the cookbook is here -  

The Northwest cookbook is Swirl, Sip & Savor by Carold Frieberg, and features original recipes submitted by 100 Northwest wineries, paired with their wines.  There are over 1,250 wineries in Washington, Oregon and British Columbia.  We were asked to submit an original recipe, and we made the final cut and are featured  in the cookbook (see page 199).  The cookbook’s recipes range from dips and spreads, to finger foods, to more sophisticated small plates.  It’s a fantastic cookbook with some terrific recipes for those who enjoy wine and food.  If you are interested, we have some copies available for purchase at a reduced price of $15.95 plus tax.

Trouvaille is Participating in the Woodinville Winemaker Triathlon -

We will be participating in the 2nd annual Woodinville Winemaker’s Triathlon on July 21st (6-10 pm) to raise money for Children’s Hospital, specifically for research into mitochondrial disease.  We have put together a great 6-member team from Trouvaille Winery, and will be competing against a number of other Woodinville wineries, hopefully making a very respectable showing, and then partying hard after wards.  If you are interested  in supporting a very worthy cause, it promises to be a fun event, and will feature an After Party that includes some great food and terrific wines, an opportunity to meet and mingle with the winemakers, as well as participate in some fun activities at the After Party.  We have been told last years’ event was a blast (especially the After Party), so don’t miss it.  Please come, support Children’s Hospital and cheer on our Trouvaille team!  To register (purchase tickets) for this great event, go to www.JMCellars.com.  If you do purchase tickets by June 21st, please enter Trouvaille as the “winery you are supporting”, as each person that does this will reduce our time by 10 seconds, and we all know how competitive my wife Laurelee is!!  Every second counts, so help us out.
