Wines poured will pair with their selected cheeses\, but will include our newly released 2014 Dolcetto. There will also be savory scones from Rolling Bay Baking Company and small bites of cheese tortellini. When you come to Camaraderie\, bring your camera and be ready to “say cheese” in one of our picturesque spots: the roaring fire pit or the spring gardens. \n• Harbinger Winery\, Port Angeles\, is proud to pair our award-winning wines with the raw\, handmade\, artisan cheeses of Chimacum Valley Dairy. A variety of flavor- infused cheeses will be available to sample\, like the “Herbs de Provence”\, Cumin Seed\, West Valley Wheel\, and Cinnamon Cocoa. These aromatic beauties will bring out unique flavors in the wine\, thus creating a full-tilt dance party in your mouth! Along with these remarkable locally- produced cheeses\, we will be sharing some in-house favorites with a twist; how about a White Stilton with Mango and Ginger Bread Pudding paired with a glass of Viognier? Or Drunken Goat Flatbread and the Double-Gold 2012 Bolero? Whatever flavor pairings you may come up with\, we know the end result will be the same: AMAZING!
