Spring has sprung! Raining and windy one minute and sunny the next. Hopefully this beautiful sunny weather will stick around for a while. Let the sound of lawn mowing throughout the neighborhood begin. This change in season also brings us new and exciting ingredients to the table, hence time for the new Spring menu at Alder Wood Bistro.  We are happy to be SUPER local and add cultivated Oyster mushrooms from 1 block away! Lowell Dietz is his name and mushroom cultivating is his game. Look for them on pizzas and our NEW VEGETARIAN entrée mushroom risotto! Nettles are also back on the menu (don't worry they don't sting after they've been cooked!) in the form of delicious and nutritious pesto. Wood-fired rhubarb on salad?! - its amazing with blue cheese and apples try it this Spring before the season passes us by.  Eagle Harbor Wine Dinner Wednesday, May 15th at 5 and 9 PM We're doing it again! Time for another incredible wine dinner this time featuring excellent wines from the very talented Hugh Remash of Eagle Harbor Wine Co. in Bainbridge Island. It's always a wonderful opportunity to meet the maker! Hugh makes wine from some of Washington's best vineyards and is very good at what he does. He possesses a unique talent and crafts beautiful artisan wine. This event also marks the brand new release of his 2011 Sangiovese, his personal favorite varietal.  Chef Gabriel is preparing some amazing dishes to pair such as sous-vide & grilled octopus, local mushroom & bacon flatbread, wood-fired rhubarb & asparagus and braised beef in pimenton pastry.
