This year, we have some new restaurants participating and we can’t wait to see what they’ve got! If you decide to join us at Monteillet, make sure to take time to check out the nearby town of Waitsburg and find a seat at the Jimgermanbar. (Maybe we’ll see you there.)

Here’s what Outstanding in the Field says about our dinner:
“Jim and Joan. Our farm dinner tour wouldn’t be the same without a yearly visit to Joan and Pierre Louis of Monteillet Fromagerie. It’s a long road ahead, and at this point we take advantage of every opportunity to steel ourselves for the rigors to come. Monteillet is a nurturing redoubt created by two artisan cheesemakers. When you’re heading off to cross the entire country, hauling out a long table at nearly 80 stops along the way, a good redoubt comes in handy. This event in Walla Walla always involves a mess of area chefs who rotate on who gets top billing. But they’re all good at sharing, and the collaboration always brings good things to the table.”

We’re participating in Outstanding in the Field’s (OTIF) tour again this year!

“Years ago, the Jolly Green Giant was painted on the hillside down the road from the Monteillet farm. The Palouse region once grew an enormous amount of peas for Del Monte. Peas were replaced by wheat. The giant remains. Guests interested in experiencing such a significant agricultural and culinary oddity can choose to scale the hillside. Or just look up.

Our guest chef at Monteillet this year is Hannah MacDonald of Brasserie 4 in Walla Walla. Hannah’s cuisine francaise seems the perfect pairing for an event with our farmer/cheesemaker friends Joan and Pierre Louis Monteillet. We are so looking forward to our yearly visit!”

We’re participating in Outstanding in the Field’s (OTIF) 2012 tour again this year!

“This is Walla Walla wine country. OITF founder Jim Denevan loves it here. Who wouldn’t? It’s so darn pleasant and welcoming. Farmers/cheesemakers Pierre-Louis and Joan are like long lost friends you knew in another life or maybe on another planet, and you’ve somehow reconnected here in Eastern Washington. There’s lots to see and learn at Monteillet. Last year’s visit was fantastic, and all of us at OITF are very excited to be going back. Our guest chef Chris Ainsworth of Saffron Restaurant in Walla Walla is on the 2012 James Beard Awards long list – another reason to not miss this event.”

Virginie at Lullaby Winery – About the gatherings

After making wine, my second passion is cooking. I grew up in a small farm on the foothills of the Luberon in Provence.

The women in my family are amazing cooks and they passed their skills and their taste for good food onto the younger generations.

My youngest sister is a chef and owns a restaurant in Avignon. I worked myself in the restaurant industry for many years, and debated long and hard between the restaurant and the wine industry before I went studying grape growing and winermaking.

Recently, I combined both my passions in tailoring wine dinners where I cook and pair wines in a unique way. I use almost exclusively local organic produces, and I take pride in supporting local farmers, cheese makers, ranchers, fishermen and all people who are working so hard in providing us with nutritious food and in keeping the land, the water and the air as clean as possible.

Photo from OITF website

We’re participating in Outstanding in the Field’s (OTIF) 2011 tour! This will be the first OTIF public event in Eastern Washington and the Walla Walla wine region.

With our first Walla Walla public event we will visit the Monteillet artisan cheese making operation in Dayton, hear from Pierre-Louis and Joan, see the animals and find out how the cheese comes to be. After a tour around the property guests will find a seat at a table and start out with a glass off Walla Walla’s finest. Outstanding guest chef Jamie Guerin of Whitehouse-Crawford has a full list of local farmers featured on his restaurant website. The menu will reflect the best of Walla Walla, the best of the season. ~ Outstanding in the Field website

Event details are posted on the OITF website.
