It is hard to believe that 2008 is
behind us and that 2009 stands in front of us ready to
be written. The new year always brings the promise of
hope and renewal and we think this year that
promise is more important than ever.
With all of the bad news at the end of 2008, it is time
for some good news, some hope, some promise.
We promise that
this year we will continue to bring you interesting and
exciting products from all over the world and a few
more from close to home. We promise that we will
continue to strive for the best customer service in the
Walla Walla Valley, and in Eastern Washington. We
promise that we will continue to be Walla Walla's
BEST source for cheese, charcuterie (salumi), and
hard to find gourmet food items. And, we will continue
to keep the "fussiness" out of food. We all have to eat,
why not eat the best that we can.
Come check out what's in the bag!
| New Menu |

Here it is, our new updated menu. In addition
to the listed items, we will also be featuring daily
specials and surprises. The daily specials will

be listed on the small board just inside the front door
of the store
and on our blog each day:

| Winter Hours |
|

We know that a number of our favorite local
restaurants have closed for a little while this month.
We wanted to remind you that we are open! We will
be keeping our regular hours, so keep us in mind
when you are in need of a bite or a drink!

| Pickles |
|
|
We have talked about our pickles in some of our
previous newsletters. But, we need to now tell you
that not only can you purchase our own handmade
pickles in bulk, you can purchase them right out of our
refrigerated case in quart-sized containers. These
pickles are flying out the door, if you have not had one
yet, you need to ask for a taste.

be bubbly, beer or snacks, we have everything you

| Cheese Event Saturday, January 17 @ 12 noon! |
|
|
Yes, we're cutting the cheese again. This time, we'll
be breaking into a fabulously aged Isle of Mull
Cheddar. This cheese come to us from a farm right
out in the Scottish Hebrides, where in the summer the
sun hardly sets. In this area, there is not a great
abundance of
grass and the cows' feed is supplemented by the
spent grain (known as draff) from the Tobermory malt
whisky distillery. The
cheeses can be quite pale, as there is not a lot of
color coming through the milk from grass. The
texture is much softer than the
southern Cheddars and the flavors are wilder. Strong
stuff.
We'll open up this wheel on Saturday,
January 17th at 12:00 sharp, and will be offering a
discounted price on this cheese this day only. If you
have not witnessed one of our formal cheese cuttings,
this would be a great time to start! We hope to see
you at our event.

We wish each and every one of you a happy 2009. We
look forward to all that it has to offer, and we hope to
see you in store soon.
