Your Own Wine Label
We all need positivity in our lives, especially during the tough economic times. After reading the blog: http://thegrumpywinemaker.blogspot.com/2010/08/buy-washington-wine-or-else.html (‘Drink Washington Wines or else ……. the Wine Industry may be doomed.’)
I asked myself what can I do that would be a positive change for Washington Wine Makers- Drink More Wine? That’s easy!! I hope it helps. Perhaps we could market Washington Wines along with our Napa Wines? Maybe, this would help?
The last negative thing I want on my conscience is I did not do enough to help the Washington Wine Industry. After all, it is more ‘green’ than buying from an out of state winery and that’s positive. I’d be pleased to offer Washington Wines; guests from out of State often ask for a Washington Wine- I provide loads of information about Washington Wines and if we could work out a Private Wine Tasting offering I would be proud to pour, educate, and market Washington Wines. Something to ‘drink’ about? Let’s all do our part.~

Wine Tasting Women
There are few things better in life than getting away for a Weekend of Wine Tasting- A Weekend of Wine Tasting with Women is SUPERB~
The Laughter, The Tears…………The Confessions~ it’s all good and you seem to get connected in a way like no other get-away can connect you. We often go for a quick weekend get-away to the Olympic Peninsula: http://www.olympicpeninsulawineries.org/ and take in the sights, smells and swirls of all that a Wine Tasting Weekend has to offer on the Peninsula.
In this photo are a few of my (Julie’s) Wine Tasting Women Friends at Camaraderie Cellars: http://www.camaraderiecellars.com/home.html. Love the name, Love the Fire Pit, Love the Wine. From the surrounding Puget Sound and Seattle Area Siloam Retreat & Wine Shop is an ideal get-away, less than 2 hours from Seattle and the Eastside, your group could stay for the weekend; enjoy food, wine and fellowship here at Siloam and head out for a day of Wine Tasting either on the Kitsap Peninsula: http://www.gotastewine.com/kitsap-peninsula-wineries.php or on Bainbridge Island: http://www.bainbridgewineries.com/ or go the distance to visit the Olympic Peninsula less than 2 hours from Siloam Retreat & Wine Shop.

Gathering around the table with good friends, good food and good wine creates lasting good memories.
Recently we established a relationship with a Chef who will prepare meals for Guests at Siloam. From intimate to extravagant, simple to elegant, for one of for up to 50 people he will create something special to pair with wine and have everyone talking about food and wine.

Bordeaux Room
We have created each room with a wine theme and added extra pillows for comfort. The Bordeaux Room is a King Size Tempra-Pedic (extremely comfortable)-
This Room is right off the Patio, with the window open you can hear the soothing sound of the waterfall into Siloam Pond. Candles adorne the Bed for ambiance and there is a personal massage table stored in the closet for personal use.
The Retreat House features 4 bedrooms across from the Bordeaux Room is the Cabernet Room. Recently we added a Queen Size Pillow Top to this room. While the Cabernet Room is one of the smallest rooms it is quaint and comfy.

Next to the Cabernet Room is the Rose’ Room offering a Full Size Bed a TV/VCR -

Trout in Siloam Pond
The name Siloam means “healing water” to us, we chose the name because of our pond. With the tranquil sound of the waterfall and the relaxing moments sitting near the pond watching the fish and viewing the different garden vegetation throughout the seasons can be healing.
Time can stand still at Siloam and you can reconnect with nature add a nice glass of wine and you will certainly escape the hubub of life.
During this summer season the pond if full of green water lilies, irises and other hiding places for the fish. If you are looking for a place to take in nature and the scenic Hood Canal come to Siloam Retreat.
Experience the 300 miles of shoreline on the Kitsap Peninsula stroll through some of our historic waterfront towns, schedule a tee-time at one of our world-class golf courses, learn about Native American Culture at one of the Tribal Museums; there is something for everyone at Siloam Retreat & Wine Shop.
Join us for a Wine Tasting!! Cheers ~
