Day 7 | 12 Days of Christmas | BBQ Bunch

four bottles of barbecue sauce are sitting on a table .
We picked a peck of tangy, zesty, savory, spicy, smokey, sweet sauces with BBQ…bar-b-q…bar-b-que…barbeque…uh, grilling in mind. All are small-batch made in the good old USA with all-natural, pure ingredients – no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives in any. (All four are vegan too!)
  
Jones Bar-B-Q Sauce has been made by hand by the Jones sisters in the same, from scratch, tried and true way for over thirty years. The secret sauce, once only available on the tabletops of their Kansas City Bar-B-Q restaurant, has only recently been packaged for home cooking as well. Pour some on a pile of pulled pork or glaze a rack of rib-sticking, smoked ribs with this tangy-sweet sauce.   

Marshall’s Haute Sauce Smoked Habenero Barbeque won first place in the 2013 Scovie Awards (the Oscars of the sauce world) and just keeps getting better with age. Get funky with farm fresh veggies with this farm-to-table, hip haute sauce, but don’t let the word “habanero” scare you. The “spice” in this Portland, Oregon-made sauce comes from cinnamon and clove – the hint of habanero only packs a hint of heat. 

Lopez Island is the home of Chicaoji hot sauce. The name is derived from three of a short list of ingredients: CHIpotle, caCAO, and goJI. Apple cider vinegar, a pinch of salt, and maple syrup rounds out the recipe. This simple sauce is anything but simple, though. The few but flavorful ingredients play well together to create a unique taste sensation that is good on practically anything from savory oats to salmon.      

Last but not least is Bachan’s “BS (bad stuff) free” Japanese Barbeque Sauce, family-made from a generations-old Japanese recipe. Crafted from authentic ingredients like mirin and shoyu, this umami-filled sauce is oishii on authentic Japanese foods like donburi – of course – and pretty much anything else. This tantalizing teriyaki-style sauce is cold-packed in a handy BPA-free squeeze bottle bedecked with a charming cephalopod.

Olive oil has been part of Mediterranean life for thousands of years. It's more than a cooking fat—it's culture, health, and history in a bottle. As Americans we've been a bit slow to catch on...

Fall Wine Extravaganza Join us for an afternoon of delicious wines! Unlike our tastings of the past, this will be more like what we call a "trade" tasting. Each rep will be stationed at a table with 4 of their wines - a mix of chilled whites/roses and reds. You are welcome to mingle, pose questions to the reps, bounce back and forth and taste at your own pace. We'll provide solo cups to encourage you to pace yourself and spit. We'll have staff passing bites of food to pair. We'll be joined by Eric, Jesse and Ken in the Coupeville Rec Hall. This will give us all plenty of room to spread out. There will be discounts offered, lots of conversations had and as much education as you would like. This is a standing, social tasting. Wine club members enjoy discounted ticket pricing as well as deeper discounts on orders at the event. Join one of our wine clubs before the event to take advantage of these extra discounts. You don't want to miss this one! A great opportunity to taste before you buy, restock your wine rack and choose a few special bottles for the upcoming holiday season. Saturday 29 October 3 - 5 Coupeville Rec Hall tickets are required Non-wine Club member Wine Club member
