Kris Brown and Green Apple's Head Chef Cari Noren recently conducted an appetizer cooking class at the Matthews Winery Estate House. The May 14th event went great as always, and it was an pleasure to work with Matthews Winery to coordinate the event. The menu for the class featured Green Apple signature appetizers hand-chosen by Chef Cari for our group. The class was guided through creating Caramelized Onion Tartlets with Parmesan Mousse, Grape Salsa on Goat Cheese Crostini, Red Wine & Herb Marinated Beef Satay, and finally a batch of delicious Chocolate Dipped Strawberries. The class was an awesome opportunity for our guests to get affordable cooking instruction from a Culinary Institute Graduate while enjoying fantastic wine from Matthews Estate Winery, and of course enjoying their own amazing cooking! Kris, and Chef Cari were delighted to get to spend time with all of our guests at the event, and had a great time leading the class. Thank you to all those who spent the afternoon with us at Matthews Estate Winery!

HISTORY
Established in 1993, Matthews Estate is located in the heart of the Woodinville Wine Country. The boutique winery is owned by two local families and focuses on maintaining production of bordeaux style and single varietal vineyard designated wines, using grapes grown in Washington State from vineyards that have experience and respect for nature and soil. The winery and winemaker, Aryn Morell, believe that there is a deep and tangible link between the vines, hills, winegrowers and winemakers, and carries this proof of affinity into every aspect of winemaking: from the vineyard to the cellar, from the vine to the wine bottle. The many and numerous accolades we receive from the public and wine world alike are an undeniable proof and future motivation to us.
LOCATION
With amazing views of the valley, the 8 acre property is the location of the winery with its production facility and tasting room, as well as the Matthews Estate House and Event Center, which includes comfortable Bed & Breakfast accommodations. The Estate House is a one of a kind intimate and elegant event facility that blends the traditional and modern and is an ideal setting for hosting private and corporate events that create special memories: placing people, delicious food and incredible wines in the same location!
