What does “Farm to Fork” and “Field to Table” really mean?

It basically means that you don’t have to worry about additives, fillers, strange ingredients to make the food "taste good". . . before it makes it to your table. Ya, sounds like something you really want to eat up! NOT!

I believe in “Farm to Fork” and “Field to Table” so much, that I wrote my business plan around it. I know that I don’t want to eat junk, and I don’t want my guests to eat it either! So, when you enjoy your meal here at SHY Cellars, you don’t have to worry about what’s in the food you’re eating. It’s natural. It’s fresh. It’s from local farmers and vendors (usually, friends or neighbors we know!). . . folks like Sweetwater Farms in Sugarcreek, Sugar Valley Meats in Sugarcreek, Pleasant Valley Poultry in Baltic. .  .

When you visit SHY Cellars, you will notice the open kitchen. Why an open kitchen? Because we want you to SEE everything we are doing, everything we use in your dishes, how everything is prepared. We have nothing to hide. Period. We pride ourselves in doing what we say! And, don’t be surprised if we have pasta on that night’s menu, that you walk in and see a lot of pasta hanging on racks!. . . that’s FRESH BABY!

So, the next time you are ready to go out for a wonderful evening filled with food and fun, think about what might be on your plate. Is it fresh? Is it from a local supplier? Is it natural or filled with by-products to make it taste good? Is it from a local farmer or field?

Until next time,
Eat Fresh & Local. . . & Drink Well Aged Wine!
Cheers!

We Finally Open The Doors. . .

MAY 7th!! That's the day that we will officially open our doors here at SHY Cellars! I can hardly believe it. It's here. Finally. REALLY....it's HERE! We are going to really OPEN THE DOORS!!!!

For those of you who have been following our journey as we built SHY Cellars, you know that I'm excited! You know my passion. You know my heart. I just hope that you can share in this excitement and come see for yourself what my dream looks like.

Our hours will be Tuesday thru Saturday from 11:00 am to 9:00 pm (closed on Sunday & Monday). During the day from 11:00 am on, we will have our Wine Tasting Room open for sampling (lots of incredible wines!), and be serving Small Plates, Tapas, and Fondues for your enjoyment. Then, starting at 4:30 pm we will be serving dinner. . . Edible Experience. . . yes, it's not just a dinner it's an Edible Experience.

Everyone asks me to explain what we mean by "Edible Experience", but I can't find the words to describe the experience. . . it's something you have to . . . experience on your own. It's kind of like explaining to someone what a Zip Line vacation would be like! LOL!  You can't find the words to describe the thrill, or the experience. . .it's just . . . they have to experience the moment for themselves. Period. That's what we are bringing to SHY Cellars. A moment you will have to experience for yourself.

So, call us today at 330-878-4163 for reservations right away. We HIGHLY recommend reservations because we are so small. We can hardly wait to meet you and serve you!

Cheers,

Sherry & the entire SHY Guy Staff
