Northwest Wines to You is owned by a Trappist Monestary located in the heart of Oregon Wine Country. In addition to assisting local wineries sell and ship their wines, we also sell Trappist Abbey Fruitcakes produced on premise by the monestary!
The Tropical Dessert Fruitcake combines the same rich, old-world flavor and texture of the traditional fruitcake line with tropical fruits and nuts including papaya, mango, pineapple, almonds and macadamias. This cake has been flavored with rum to perfection. $21.95 for two one-pound cakes. Available now through Labor Day. Delicious with dessert wines!
BUD BREAK BEGINS!
While it is not quite bud break by official records, northwest vines are hard at work pushing out their very first pastel-colored shoots of the year. The soil is beginning to warm and so too are our spirits. After a particularly cool and rainy March and April, the beginning of the 2011 growing season is upon us. The late start will likely mean that vines will have more ground to make up in October. Winemakers and vineyard managers will be hoping that rains hold out in the fall so that the grapes have ample time to ripen. Is it too early start working on our sun dances?
