Friday July 30th Tasting: A Double Header

Aaron Silverman and Morgan Brownlow, the local fellows who offer their hazelnut-finished pork at farmers markets and restaurants, started their company Tails & Trotters with a dream of producing prosciutto that embodies the terroir of the Pacific Northwest. The fresh meats (though delicious in their own right) are a stepping stone to their cured meats vision, and they are now in the early stages of producing prosciutto from their fine pigs. It’s a big investment to build a USDA-approved facility and they’re currently raising capital for the project through a micro-investor program called Kickstarter. This Friday, Aaron and Morgan will be at the shop sharing tastes of their prosciutto, rilettes, and other cured meats that they plan to eventually sell. We invite you to drop by and taste their yummy products. (And don’t worry: although they’ll be happy to talk with you about their campaign, there won't be a high pressure pitch to invest.)

To make the afternoon even tastier, Jason Kilmer from Oregon Brand Management will be here to offer samples of three lovely Oregon wines for pairing with the meats: Patton Valley 2009 Rosé, Brooks 2007 Janus Pinot Noir and Solena 2009 Pinot Gris.

The tasting will be 4:30 – 6:30pm on Friday, July 30th, and it's free. Woo Hoo!
