Current Covid Protocols
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Last week we were stranded off-island with our trailer down at Bayview State Park, planning to come back to open last Friday. However, the ferry broke down, and since we couldn’t come home, we stayed another night, uncertain when the ferry would return.<\/p>\n

As luck would have it, we got to the ferry line a little after 2 pm, expecting a long line of cars. But as luck would have it, we arrived just as the first run of our trusty Whatcom Chief pulled in, and we were home by 2:30. We did open the wine shop, but had only two visitors.<\/p>\n

Therefore, we will pour the same wine list as was scheduled for last week.<\/p>\n

This week we will again offer indoor tastings on Friday and \u00a0Saturday from 4-6 pm, with our familiar Covid requests:<\/p>\n

— You must have completed a full Covid vaccination sequence to participate;<\/em><\/p>\n

— We ask all to maintain mindful social distance from people outside your regular “neighborhood pods.”

Friday Bread<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Each Sunday<\/em> bread offerings for the coming Friday<\/em> are emailed to the mailing list by Island Bakery. Orders returned by the 5 pm Tuesday deadline are baked and available for pickup each Friday<\/em> at the wine shop from 4:00 – 5:30 pm.\u00a0To get on the bread order mailing list, click on the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Contact Us<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>link at the top of the page and fill out the form.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the years the bakery has established a rotating list of several dozen breads and pastries from which two different artisan breads and a pastry are selected each week.<\/p>\n

This week’s deliveries:<\/em><\/p>\n

Toasted Pecan & Flax Seed –<\/strong> This levain bread is different than most of the levain breads that I do as it is made with a starter that is fed with rye flour instead of wheat flour which creates a different flavor profile. The final dough is made with bread flour as well as fresh milled whole wheat. Toasted pecans, flax seeds and honey all add up for a very flavorful bread – $5\/loaf.<\/p>\n

Heidebrot –<\/strong>\u00a0Translated as “bread of the heath,”<\/em> after a region in central Germany known for fields of red heather. This is a farmhouse bread from an aromatic, lighter sourdough made with whole grain rye. a rye-fed sourdough starter, fresh milled whole grain rye flour, and regular bread flour as well – $5\/loaf<\/em><\/p>\n

and pastry this week…<\/em><\/p>\n

Morning Buns –<\/strong>\u00a0Made with the same laminated dough as croissants. The dough is rolled out, spread with a filling of brown sugar, orange zest, butter and cinnamon, and rolled up and sliced before baking. – 2\/$5<\/em><\/p>\n

Wine of the Week:\u00a0 Longship Lady Wolf Malbec ’18\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Washington\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 $25

Longship is a fairly new family-owned winery in Richland, in the heart of Washington wine country. Established in 2013, it has focused on producing\u00a0 big, hand-crafted, barrel-aged, red varietals like tempranillo, malbec, syrah, cabernet sauvignon, with at least 60% proportion aged for 18 months in new oak barrels.<\/p>\n

The name “Longship,” and the adoption of the Viking Longship as the winery’s logo is a nod to the family’s Scandinavian heritage and the winery’s ongoing journey to produce some of the finest wines in the Pacific Northwest.<\/p>\n

The Richland tasting room was added at the end of 2016, not just to feature their\u00a0 wines, but also, as is the case here at the Wine Gallery, to create a social space where friends can gather to relax in a convivial environment while sharing delicious handcrafted wine.<\/p>\n

We took an immediate liking to the wine when we tasted it a couple of weeks ago. Chances are you will, too!<\/p>\n
