This event was a complete success. Les Huitres Volantes (via Taylor Shellfish) brought in eight varietals of oysters: Olympia, Kumamoto, Kusshi, Shigoku, Samish Bay, Totten Inlet, Eld Inlet, and North Bay. We sold out, shucking 70 dozen!
Taking the summer off, Slough Food and Les Huitres Volantes are already planning the next tasting come late September, early October. We are also working to make this oyster degustation a monthly-ish event through the winter and springtime.
Salutations!
Please join us here in Edison, at Slough Food, to welcome Ruben Perez Cuevas (his first U.S. visit!), and to taste the fabulous wines from his family’s Rioja winery, Ontanon. Ruben and his American liaison, the lovely (and a personal friend) Laine Boswell, will be pouring their wines this Saturday, April 16th, from 1:00 till 4:00.
Jon Rimmerman of Garagiste calls Bodegas Ontanon the pace car in Rioja, saying “I’ve been waiting for a producer like this for a long time, specifically, a Rioja entity that defines a modern sense of the category with traditional means – one that places fruit and terroir over new oak and flash but keeps the fruit intensity dialed up to 11.”
And R.John DeGloria of Slough Food says, “These wines are deliciously drinkable.”
Finally, and coincidentally, Slough Food’s birthday is April 16th, this Saturday! Seven years young…
Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you in Edison,
John

Here are some photos from this lively wine tasting posted on facebook.
Way back on May 08th, we had Raclette Night here at the shop. It was a packed house, and thankfully the weather cooperated, providing a lovely evening for some to spill out into the courtyard. I was unable to take photos since I was busy playing host. We did have a special guest who took some wonderful photos – please visit her site here. We do rent the Raclette Grill for FREE, when you buy the cheese here. We will have all the cheese and meat sliced and waiting for you to pick up.
Also, the following week we had a private event here at Slough Food. Some folks had an ‘Office Party’ on a Friday night. They rented out all of Slough Food and enjoyed…Raclette! Sorry, no photos.
If you are interested in your own private sloughside event, please contact us -360.766.4458 or info@sloughfood.com - and let’s get the party started.
