Dear Friends,
What a fun and busy week. It rained a lot but we need it so no complaints! Rain brings beautiful “Jimbows” like the one above that we saw on Tuesday. (Photo credit to Christy!) Chef Norma crafted a delicious meal for our Harvest Dinner on Friday that delighted our guests. Beyond Brooks was packed full of great content yesterday with our guests from Smith Tea. We could have talked for hours! I am really looking forward to seeing many of our Wine Club Members this afternoon for our wine and cheese pairing event with Rogue Creamery.
Happy Sunday!
CHARCUTERIE AND SPICE
Last summer, the team and I had the pleasure of touring Olympia Provisions facility where they make all of their amazing charcuterie products. While the meat curing rooms weren’t the most appealing to smell, I could have stayed in the spice room for a very long time! I am super excited to be partnering with Olympia Provisions for the December Beyond Brooks!
Salumist Elias Cairo, grew up first generation Greek-American with a father who made charcuterie at home. It was in Europe that he rediscovered the art of curing meat and found inspiration in the markets and mountain towns of the old world. He has since brought this craft to Oregon and is leading the way for sourcing environmentally regenerative, humanely-raised pork.
This bundle includes:
- 1 bottle of 2018 Brooks Estate Riesling
- 1 bottle of 2018 Brooks La Chenaie Pinot Noir
- 1 Olympia Provisions Summer Sausage
- 1 Olympia Provisions Rosette d’Oregon Salami

- 1 Olympia Provisions Bread and Butter Pickled Zucchini
- Webinar with Elias Cairo, Founder and COO of Olympia Provisions, Janie Heuck, Managing Director of Brooks, and Master of Wine, Bree Stock on Saturday, December 11th at 1 pm PST/4 pm EST

GIFTS THAT GIVEBACK
As you know, every time you purchase Brooks, you are directly supporting 1% For The Planet. You are also supporting our initiatives related to Biodynamic farming and being a Certified B Corporation. And starting very soon, dollars spent at Brooks will equate to trees being planted. The gift of Brooks tells a story that everyone should be proud of. For colleagues, family, and friends, we hope you will think of Brooks this season.

THE GARDENS IN NOVEMBER
So many coworkers ask Shannon, our gardener extraordinaire, what she does during the winter. Rain or shine, June or November, Shannon has a lot going on. I am super excited about the garden expansion plans she presented to me this week. We will be expanding our vegetable gardens for better crop rotation, adding a berry garden and a greenhouse! We will also be adding to our chicken family!
