September 2023

Greetings from Port Ludlow, | |
|
As the waning summer sun graces us with its golden touch, I am crossing my fingers in hopes we get the summer weather to stick around through September.
We are looking forward to catering the Jefferson County Farmers Market benefit dinner just a few miles away at White Lotus Farm. While preparing the menu for the event, I couldn't help but feel a profound sense of gratitude for the farmers whose dedication and hard work brought forth the ingredients that adorned all of our dishes.
Engaging with our farmers is one of the highlights of my job and not only enriches our understanding of the ingredients but also reinforces our commitment to the "farm-to-fork" ethos that lies at the heart of The Fireside's culinary philosophy.
I encourage you all to "Get on the Farm" during Jefferson County Farm Tour weekend September 16-17. A number of farms including Egg and I Pork, Kodama Farm, and Finnriver Cidery will be hosting events for the whole family to enjoy.

With two of our long-time coworkers recently retiring, I've reflected back through my 15 years here and find myself grateful to have had and continue to have the opportunity to work with so many passionate team members.
I have a tremendous amount of respect for the young people that have worked with us as their first job (many have since gone off to college, come back for summers and have now graduated and moved on to their new profession) as well as the few that have made working here their career. These folks have contributed so much to our organization and I cant thank them enough. But I will try!
A special congratulations to Dave and Greg, it has been my pleasure to work along side you all these years.

Wine Spectator 'Best of Award of Excellence' | |
We're delighted to announce that The Fireside is one of Wine Spectator's 2023 Best of Award of Excellence winners.
Criteria for Best of Award of Excellence winners includes restaurants offering well-curated lists with around 350 selections representing a breadth of wine regions and styles, as well as vintage depth through vertical collections of notable wines.
The wine lists feature quality producers and wines that diners wouldn’t easily find at local wine stores and drink at home. These wine selections also match the restaurant’s cuisine in both style and pricing, giving guests a well-rounded experience.

Still a Few Tickets Left! | |
We're looking forward to welcoming Scenic Valley Farms winemaker Gabriel Jagle who studied at the Chemeketa Viticulture Center, where he learned to make wines that are clean and precise, then trained at Illahe Vineyards and Winery, where he learned to make wines that were soulful and expressive.

This year was the 11th annual tournament and one of their most successful yet, raising $32,000 for Dove House Advocacy Services in support of their mission to empower victims of crime and abuse in Jefferson County through education, advocacy, and crisis intervention.
We were pleased to have our Head Golf Pro, Jim, present a donation for $1800, a portion of the proceeds from our recent tee sign auction.
