July Grocery Bag Walla Walla's Gourmet Grocery
July 2008



Welcome to the July Grocery Bag! Walla Walla is heating up, but Salumiere Cesario is the place to stay cool this summer. Anyone who has walked in the cheese closet will confirm this! But, there are other reasons we are the cool place to be this summer...

The Olive Oil bar is now open. The cocktail mixers section is filling up and we now have several tonics to choose from. New wines are coming in weekly, along with some great summer brews as well. Summer produce is starting to come in regularly. When there is no Farmers Market come see us for your produce, but on Saturday get it from your local grower! Also, new cheeses continue to arrive regularly, including some great local cheese.

And finally, if you haven't already noticed around town, Salumiere Cesario is sponsoring our local Pedi-Power Pedi Cabs. What a great way to jaunt around all of the fantastic downtown establishments. Look for the giant Salumiere logo on the back, and hitch a ride down to the store for a visit!

Come check out what's in the bag this month!

    Cheese
    Red Leicester

    We just received another Neal's Yard shipment a week ago. If you have not yet tried the Red Leicester, then you need to quickly before it is gone. We also have Wensleydale back in, this is the real deal not the faux Wensleyday with fruit in it. New cheese will be arriving middle of the month for those of you who have grown fond of the aged Gouda and the Comte Ft. Lucotte. We are expecting to get some Sally Jackson in soon as well as more Rivers Edge. I f there is something you are looking for, come in and ask, because if we don't have it we can usually get it!


    Salumi (Cured Meats)
    Framani chorizo

    Salumeria Biellese will be back in stock mid month. In the meantime, Salumi keeps us well supplied with their tasty products. Although the Fra'Mani Sopressata continues to be in short supply, they are keeping us well stocked with some other wonderful treats. The chorizo has a new size that is great for keeping around the kithchen for that little something something. We find that it is really great with a cold beer!


    Beer
    orion

    Cold beer is always a summer favorite, especially when that beer has great flavor. We have many Beligan summer beers in stock, but one of our favorite summer sippers is Orion beer from Japan (Okinawa). Light in colour and style but big in flavor. This is a great beer when we get into the triple digits. Saison is still our go-to summer favorite - hoppy, citrusy and dry. These are the quaffers you want to have around on a lazy summer afternoon!


    Fish?
    albacore tuna

    Yes fish. We have a little secret that we are going to let you in on. We have some of the BEST albacore you have ever tasted! It is sushi grade and caught off the Oregon coast. The price will blow you away if the flavor dosen't. Come in and talk to us about how to get some, and we might even share our famous ponzu sauce with you.

    And, with the recent closing of Fish on Land (we will miss you!) we would like to offer to those looking for fresh fish that we can (and will) be doing special orders for fresh seafood. Come in and talk to us if there is something you need.


    Olive Oil Bar
    Olive Oil

    Our Olive Oil Bar is now open! We are selling the olive oil in bulk at $18 for 500ml. We have bottles ready for you, and four different Olive OIls to choose from or to blend together. Whether you are looking for oil to cook with or to use on salads or as a condiment, we have what you are looking for. Come in and check out this first for Walla Walla.

    Sea Smoke and Chateauneuf du Pape
    southing

    We are currently the only place in eastern Washington to get the ultra rare and highly sought after Sea Smoke Pinot Noir from the famed Santa Rita Hills. We have received our allotment (it wasn't much!) but we are sure this will go fast. Quantities are limited, and it is offered on a first come first serve basis. We cannot hold these, even if you phone us. You'll have to come see us in person. We will be limiting quantities this year since our allocation was less than in previous years. This is a great wine year after year. And, this is Kris Curran's last vintage from start to finish, as she has left to become the Managing Wine Director for Foley Estates. This is not a wine you want to miss.

    The first of the 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape's have also arrived. More will be arriving in the next few months, but the first few are worth getting down here for as they also are sought after and hard to come by.
