SUMMER... 11

By Bridget Dowd

For Lake Chelan This Week

Peanut butter and jelly, milk and

cookies, cheese and wine. Some

things are just meant to be. It’s no

wonder wineries in New Zealand

and Australia pair their wines with

homemade cheeses in-store. Timi

Starkweather wrote the business

plan for her Manson shop in 2008

after researching wineries in both

areas. She noticed that every winery

had a creamery and thought a

creamery might be a great fit for

Manson.

“At that time this area was just

starting to grow,” Starkweather said.

“I thought ‘Hey, this is a great ag

area. Why don’t we have one of

those?’ ”

When it came to naming her

creation, Starkweather said she took

the first half of the word “fromage,”

which means cheese in French, and

paired it with the second half of the

Italian word for cheese, which is

“formaggio.” Thus, Fromaggio was

born.

“It means cheese in any language,”

Starkweather said.

Fromaggio began selling cheese

in 2009, but the creamery — a

longtime goal for Starkweather —

didn’t become a reality until spring

of 2013.

Now Starkweather, her partners and

her staff produce seven different

styles of cheese and 24 different

flavors of ice cream, gelato and

sorbet, all of which are made from

organic milk.

All of the cows that produce

Fromaggio’s milk are 100 percent

grass-fed.

At the Granger farm where

Fromaggio’s milk comes from, cows

eat what Starkweather describes

as a kind of “salad bar.” These

cows live to be about 15 years old,

whereas most dairy cows live four to

five years.

But going organic wasn’t easy:

Starkweather contacted Darigold

looking for a list of local, organic

farms, but Darigold declined to

name individual farms. After some

searching, however, she found a

suitable farm with the help of a

friend.

For Starkweather, making their

food from organic milk was a

“no-brainer” because it doesn’t

have the antibiotics or additives

that a lot of other milks contain. As

a mother, grandmother, and great-

grandmother, Starkweather believes

it is important to reduce the amount

of sugar in foods.

“We want our kids to be healthy,”

she said. “We make everything from

scratch. We want to be responsible

to our citizens and to our kids.”

Starkweather has been cooking

since she was 4 years old and

before opening her business, had

a radio show called “Adventures in

Cooking” on KOZI in Chelan.

“It’s all about a community

experience,” Starkweather said.

“Working with the schools and

creating internship programs for

students is really a passion for me.”

Fromaggio will have its first

internship program this fall where

students will learn cooking and

business skills.

“It’s about the people,” Starkweather

said. “I love people, I love teaching,

and I love families. Fromaggio is

very much about families.”

Aside from the creamery and cheese

island, Fromaggio also has a bistro

that serves wine, beer, and assorted

dishes for lunch and dinner.

For The Wenatchee World

The Fourth Annual North Central Washington Wine Awards is coming right up and this is one wine and food social event you don’t want to miss.

All the drinking, eating and schmoozing happens from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23, at the Town Toyota Center in Wenatchee. The event was held at the center last year with great response from more than 300 people attending.

This year’s event includes wines from 30 regional wineries, all of them award winners. A panel of professional judges awarded a record number of Gold and Double Gold medals this year during blind tastings held last June. The results will be revealed this Saturday. Full results and stories about top winners will also be published in the September-October issue of Foothills magazine. The issue of the magazine will be distributed statewide to promote the region’s growing wine industry. Nearly 250 wines from 37 wineries were entered in the competition.

Judges experienced from previous NCW Wine Awards agreed that local wines have vastly improved over the past four years. Nearly 20 percent of wines entered received Gold or Double Gold medals — 58 wines — more than

twice as many as in previous years. Ten Double Gold medals were awarded this year. Last year, there were only two.

Ken Robertson, a retired newspaper editor and longtime wine columnist from the Tri-Cities area said the fi rst year he judged here there

were a few wineries making great wines and many others working to improve. Now, it’s clear, he said, that the entire industry has elevated their craft.

Andy Perdue, wine writer for the Seattle Times, coordinated the NCW competition with Eric Degerman. The two Richland writers created and publish Great Northwest Wines, a wine news company that also organizes wine competitions throughout the Northwest.

“We probably gave out twice the number of gold medals as we did here last year,” Perdue said. The Great Northwest competitions don’t give out gold and double gold awards willy-nilly.

The emphasis will be on fun rather than competition Saturday evening. Besides lots of great wine, there will be hard ciders, beers and ales and hand-crafted distilled spirits to try. A dozen eateries will be on hand to serve a truly diverse selection of foods ranging from sushi to gyros, from Italian to East Indian.

There will be information booths about wine and wine education. The Confl uence Jazz Trio will provide the night’s upbeat themes.

Wines can be purchased to take home after the event. Profi ts will benefi t the Wenatchee Valley Museum & Cultural Center.

For more information or to buy advance tickets online, go to ncwwineawards.com. Tickets can also be bought at the door for $40 per person.

Special event:

In light of the recent fi res that took many homes in the surrounding areas, communities from around Washington have shown an outpouring of support for families affected by the fi res. Rio Vista is lending a hand by hosting a benefi t to help their neighbors. We think that’s awesome, and if you do too, here’s everything you need to know to get involved.

What: Rio Vista Winery Benefi t ConcertThe benefi t concert is much more than just a concert, with plenty to do and plenty of ways to donate. The band Crisis will provide the soundtrack to the afternoon. The fi res were especially hard on Crisis’ lead singer, who lost his home in Alta Lake. There will be no cover for the show, but a $5 donation is encouraged. Throughout the afternoon a silent auction will be held. Bidders can win everything from dinners, golf packages and winery tours to a truckload of top soil delivered to their garden. Here’s the best part: 20 percent of wine sales, 50 percent of dinner sales and 100 percent of auction sales will go to fi re relief and aid.

When: From 3 to 6 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 23.

Where: 24415 Highway 97, Chelan

Cost: Free, with a $5 suggested donation for the show and silent auction. Catered dinner is $10.
