Laguna Canyon Winery
Beginning his winemaking career in Vancouver, B.C., Marlowe J. Huber and his brother Darren have built and operated three wineries over the course of 26 years. The third is located in Laguna Beach as Orange County's 1st Urban Winery established in 2003. Marlowe is in his 8th year as a professional wine judge at the OC Fair Commercial Wine Competition, the largest California wine competition in the world. Included in this package is the 2018 creamy Napa Carneros Chardonnay and an off dry Brut bubbles sparkling which both pair excellently with Canadian Hawkins Cheezies. Pick up at the winery or web purchase with this link: https://lagunacanyonwinery.com/product/chardonnay-bubbles-cheezies/
Poutine Brothers
Poutine Brothers is bringing Canada's national dish to California, created entirely from homemade ingredients. Sadly the US doesn’t allow the importation on unpasteurized Canadian curds, so theirs come from Wisconsin. Poutine Brothers was founded by Chris and Matt, two brothers who grew up playing club hockey and frequently touring throughout Canada. Imagine being a young boy and discovering a meal in which french fries are a key ingredient... it was love at first bite. They developed the concept for Poutine Brothers as adults, and after a test run among friends, realized they had a business opportunity on their hands. They promptly quit their corporate jobs in marketing and accounting, and Poutine Brothers was born.
Get your DIY Poutine kit to celebrate Canada Day! The kits comes with fries, cheese curds and brown gravy; additions available (meats, vegan, gluten free, curds). More info at poutinebrothers.com/canadadaykits
