The Red Rooster Grocery hosts a representative from Port Townsend’s Alpenfire Cidery from 1-4 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 9, for a free tasting of Alpenfire’s entire line of new local, handcrafted artisan vinegars.
Here is a list of the line of vinegars:
• Orleans style
Alpenfire’s flagship apple cider vinegar aged in oak barrels for a minimum of nine months. The vinegar has a smooth finish and pairs well with many foods, and was a finalist in the 2012 Good Food Awards.
• Horseradish
An apple cider vinegar with a robust horseradish flavor.
• Spring Tonic
An apple cider vinegar with dried nettles and dandelion.
• Cabernet
A red wine vinegar made from local winemaker Richard Sorensen of Sorensen Cellars’ Cabernet Sauvignon steeped with bay leaves, rainbow peppercorns and cacao nibs.
• English Ale
A malt vinegar made from Port Townsend Brewery’s Scotch Ale and Boatyard Bitter, great for fish and chips.
• Mead
