Raising Our
SPIRITS
Washington County’s Growing Wine, Beer and Spirits Scene
By Kathleen Hondru
In the late 18th century, Washington County was home to
many Scotch-Irish and German immigrants that brought
from the “Old Country” both their farming and whiskey
distilling knowledge. In Europe, whiskey was made with
malted barley, something that did not grow well in Western
Pennsylvania. So these inventive farmers substituted rye
for barley and the rest is history, as they say. A new type of
whiskey was born – a distinctly American Whiskey –
Pennsylvania Rye, also known as Monongahela Rye.
Whiskey continued to be produced in the region until
Prohibition when the distilleries went quiet – until recently.
In 2011, Pennsylvania’s distillery regulations were eased
and paved the way for a rebirth of the region’s storied
whiskey making past. Today, Washington County is home
to a number of new craft distillers and for the first time since
its founding, the 2016 Whiskey Rebellion Festival, held the
second weekend of July, featured whiskey made right here
in Washington County.
“We scheduled our grand opening on the Saturday of the
festival,” shared Ellen Hough, owner of Mingo Creek Craft
Distillers, along with her husband Jim. Their distillery is
located in downtown Washington and they chose its name
in honor of the farmers of the Mingo Creek Settlement, who
protested the whiskey excise tax of 1791.
Ed Belfoure
Red Pump Spirits
Mingo Creek uses local grains to produce bourbon, corn
whiskey, peated bourbon and rye whiskey in barrels. Their
equipment is a modern version of the copper pot stills used
back in the post-revolutionary era. One of the more popular
spirits during the festival was their own version of
Monongahela Rye, called Bassett Town Whiskey.
Ellen Hough
Mingo Creek Craft Distillers
Washington County is once again home to whiskey distilleries
that are reclaiming a part of our region’s storied
past as part of a growing wine, beer and spirits scene.
“We were busy all day during our opening with customers
filling the distillery and lines out the door and down the
street. The response was great. We even had re-enactors
walking through the distillery, posing for pictures and at one
point joining with customers in a rousing toast,” said Hough.
For Ed Belfoure, owner of Red Pump Spirits, a craft
distillery that opened in March and also located in
downtown Washington, “the festival was so much
more successful for us than
we had imagined. We
extended our hours during
the festival and by the end of
Saturday we were sold out of
our Rebellion Rye and
Farmhouse Whiskeys, as
well as our Bradford
Blackberry Liqueur.”

will find customers enjoying their wines on the picturesque
patio that overlooks the vineyard and is home to regularly
scheduled wine and music events.
services support this growing beer craze and we also host
the Washington Homebrew Club, which meets the third
Thursday of every month at A&M.”
John and Dot Husk own J&D. They are passionate about
winemaking and helping customers with supplies, advice
and support for their own endeavors. In fact, they recently
started the Washington County chapter of the American
Wine Society, to help bring further resources and support
to local winemakers and enthusiasts.
In 2015, A&M moved to its current – and larger – location
to offer more classes and inventory to better serve their
growing customer base. But it is not just a supply house;
A&M offers its own selection of wines and plenty of
events, like its popular Paint & Sip and Late Night @
the Winery.
“Winemaking in Washington has a good following
because of the availability of supplies and produce
suppliers,” said John. “During the fall, home winemakers
will often help out at the wineries to get in on the bulk
pricing the wineries get when purchasing grapes.”
These new and established businesses are building a
vibrant spirits scene in Washington County. They offer
a variety of tastes and choices in settings that are
well suited for events, private parties or simply a fun
outing with friends. Be sure to check them out and
experience our region’s history and present in a
delightfully tasteful way.
As far as the growth of the craft beverage industry in the
region, the local businesses are very supportive of each
other. “We have had individuals who were opening
distilleries attend our wine club meetings to get
recommendations for bottles, supplies and how best to
promote their businesses with social media. A number of
wineries have recently opened in the region and these
owners attended meetings of our winemaking
organization. This growth is great for all the wineries,
because as I often say, I would not go miles out of my way
to visit one winery, but I will to visit five.”
Those interested in taking his advice and planning a tour
of local wineries to taste a variety of wines and explore the
region’s landscape, be sure to add these vineyards to
your wine tour itinerary – Ripepi Winery & Vineyard in
Monongahela, C&T Miller Vineyards in Avella, Raccoon
Creek Winery at Kramer’s Greenhouse in Burgettstown
and Plum Run Winery in Brownsville, PA.
The local whiskey and spirits scene is dynamic, according
to Belfoure. “The distillers here all talk to one another and
share ideas on techniques and ways to promote our
businesses. The diversity of traditional and new types of
spirits is exciting and attracting a lot of interest.”
Whiskey is not the only spirit being made in Washington
County. Wineries mark the region’s landscape and offer a
variety of settings and tastes, including J&D Cellars
Winery & Vineyard, located on 16 acres off Route 519 in
Eighty Four. If you visit J&D in the summer and fall, you

make for a unique combination
within Washington County’s
many tourism offerings.

With Matt and Susanne Sager
Palazzo 1837 Ristorante
The Shoppes at Quail Acres
I
By Mike Bradwell
n Italian, the term “palazzo” means an impressive
public building or private residence.
At Palazzo 1837 Ristorante, the handsome and spacious
1837 Palladian-style brick farmhouse is an impressive
reminder of Washington County’s rural roots. Sited along a
rising grade above the intersection of Route 19 and Racetrack Road
in North Strabane Township in a historic setting known
as The Shoppes at Quail Acres, the fine dining establishment
has given owners Matt and Susanne Sager the opportunity
to envision an expanding list of possibilities for Palazzo
and its surrounding property.
After renting the restaurant space for four years, the Sagers
had the opportunity to invest in an ownership group that purchased
the entire Quail Acres site, assuming the responsibility as property
managers. In addition to the restaurant, the site includes
The Shoppes at Quail Acres specialty retail complex – including
a pre-Civil War-era barn – that has been
a favored shopping venue for a few decades.
“Maintaining the property is crucial because of its historic
aspect,” Matt said, noting that the barn recently received a
new coat of red paint, as well as a 100-square-foot stencil
reading “Quail Acres” that can be seen by passing motorists.
The fine dining and specialty retail shops in a historic site

other area companies seeking a place for an offsite lunch
or dinner, Susanne said.
In addition to the option of dining al fresco or indoors, there
are many other reasons for customers’ return visits to
Palazzo 1837. Susanne noted that the restaurant adds
new dishes frequently and uses seasonal ingredients,
making every effort to source locally.
“It never lets us stop being creative,” she said.
Besides the food, the Sagers also believe that the ability
to turn first-time customers into regulars comes from
their staff.
The Sagers established the restaurant in Quail Acres in
2009, specializing in Northern and Southern Italian dishes
featuring steaks, seafood, pasta and veal entrees.
Today, Palazzo 1837 and The Shoppes at Quail Acres
receive guests from across the tri-state region and beyond.
“We see Canadians all of the time,” Susanne said, noting
the proximity of Interstates 70 and 79 that provide travelers
from all directions due to the nexus of the two highways in
Washington County.
Those intersecting highways are just one of several
location advantages that the Quail Acres site enjoys. With
The Meadows • Casino • Racetrack • Hotel and Tanger
Outlets as well as several hotels less than a mile away on
Racetrack Road, the venue receives many of the visitors
from one of the county’s most vibrant commercial corridors.
But the well-preserved 19th century farm site also offers
diners and shoppers a respite from their more fast-paced
activities.
One of the changes the Sagers made for their diners was
the addition of a large deck and awning that
accommodates outdoor dining for up to 70 people at a
time. It was a move, Matt said, that greatly increased
customer traffic, particularly during warm weather months.
That is not to say that Palazzo does not offer more intimate
dining inside. The farmhouse is divided into a main dining
area, as well as a number of smaller private rooms on the
first and second floors, a feature that particularly appeals to
business clientele from Southpointe, as well as those from
When they are not planning the next event or menu
update, the Sagers enjoy some downtime at their
East Washington home, working in their garden. When
they do go out to dinner, a favorite stop is The Back
Porch in Speers.
With a site that encompasses both the restaurant and the
retail property, the Sagers believe they have found a place
from which they can continue to expand their business
vision.
Matt explained that many restaurant operators lease
their space, which could limit their commitment to a
particular place.
“We promote from within,” Matt said, noting that Margaret
Stout was recently promoted to executive chef. He added
that Stout and Chef Mary O’Leary are both originally from
the area.
WASHCOCHAMBER.COM
Sitting on Palazzo’s deck on a pleasant summer morning
with a view of the Quail Acres property, Susanne sees the
possibilities of constant renewal by staying in a place that
defines Washington County’s heritage so well.
“We have a lot of respect for this Western Pennsylvania
landmark,” she said. “We plan to be here a long time.”
Palazzo 1837 Ristorante is open Tuesday through
Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. For reservations,
call 724-223-1837. For additional information, access

The Shoppes at Quail Acres
Another attraction that keeps customers coming back is the
made-from-scratch cocktails from bartender Will Lenz, a
seven year employee at Palazzo.
A Place to Savor
While the location has an immediate draw from the two
busy highways that border it, Quail Acres is a place that lets
guests slow down and enjoy quiet, historic surroundings.
With the adjacent retail property, the restaurant offers
diners the opportunity to stroll among a variety of specialty
shops after a satisfying meal. With stores offering tea and
coffee to specialty gifts, as well as beauty and pet-related
services, the venue offers something for everyone.

By Brian Conway
When longtime restaurant executive Mustafa Dakroub decided
to open his first standalone venture, Markook Authentic
Mediterranean Eats, he had one thing in mind:
“Location, location, location.”
The Street at The Meadows
Mike Swisher, Principal at Horizon Properties, says that the
seeds for The Street were sown three to four years ago,
after conversations with owners of The Meadows and a
mutual realization that the area, despite attracting millions
of visitors a year, was underserved in both restaurants and
smaller studio and one-bedroom apartments.

into The Residences in

May. Madia works in
Morgantown as a nurse and appreciates the apartment's
central location and proximity to both Route 19 and I-79.
She says she values the brand-new appliances and
building amenities – her boyfriend likes being a stone's
throw from The Meadows – but mostly she appreciates
what she calls the “bang for your buck.”
Mustafa Dakroub
Markook's, dubbed by many as “Chipotle for Mediterranean cuisine,” is located within The Street at The
Meadows, a booming mixed-use development situated
right off Racetrack Road and minutes from The Meadows
Casino • Racetrack • Hotel and Tanger Outlets.
“When we ventured to build our first unit, we wanted to position the brand for future expansion,” says Dakroub. “As we
set sail, choosing The Street was based on a strategic dec26

ision that encompasses that idea. We encounter a lot of
people coming through the area, from Ohio, New Jersey,
and West Virginia, and that allows for exposure of the
brand when and where we decide to build other locations.”
Markook's is just one of dozens of businesses that have
set up shop in and around the Racetrack Road corridor in
recent months, cognizant of the millions of potential
customers who pass through the area on an annual basis.
Primanti Brothers
“There was really no place to eat in the area on Racetrack
Road,” says Swisher. “We saw an opportunity to bring
some new restaurants to the market that did not exist. And
in doing that, we created a gateway to the casino, we
created amenities that the area needed, and we filled a
void in the housing market for smaller apartments.”
The Residences at The Street welcomed their first tenants
in January of this year, and as of mid-July they were
The Residences boast all-inclusive pricing, meaning that
tenants like Madia are able to budget well in advance
without having to worry about saving for unforeseen
utility costs.
In addition to Markook's, The Street is home to the everpopular Primanti Brothers, Creole-inspired Buford's Kitchen
and a Great Clips Salon. Swisher says that a Dunkin’
Donuts will be next on The Street, and they are in
discussions with both a Vietnamese restaurant and a fast
casual pizza chain to open up in this growing corridor.

Situated at the corner of Route 19 and Racetrack Road,

And that is just the tip of the iceberg;
much more is on the way.

“The market is fantastic,” says Dave
Biafora, of Metro Property Management. “The
development is at a great intersection and a great part of
Washington County.”
Biafora says that the plaza at 2000 Park Place is only

Fitness, bank, more restaurants and plenty of office space
for commercial businesses, like realtors, insurance agents
and medical professionals.
The idea, says Biafora, is to create
“smaller and more intimate community centers” that enable
local residents to have a one-stop shop for most of their
day-to-day needs within walking distance of their front door.
Whether it is a quick trip to the store or a romantic dinner
for two, both local residents and those visiting from outside
the area will have an abundance of options from which to
choose along this bustling corridor of Washington County.

We’ve Got
TALENT
The diversity of events scheduled on the campuses of
California University of Pennsylvania and Washington &
Jefferson College, along with the theme-based concert series
presented by Washington Symphony Orchestra (WSO),
promises plenty of variety for local residents, families,
students and visitors.
California University of Pennsylvania
Special Events
Noss Lecture Series: Jeanne Marie Laskas,
Author of “Concussion”
Convocation Center
October 20, 2016 • 7:00 p.m.
By Sylvia Cavallo
The Washington County region has a robust
schedule of entertainment and special events for residents
and visitors to enjoy throughout late 2016 and early 2017.
Dr. Yugo Ikach, Department of Music, Theatre Co-Chair and
Director of University Choirs at California University; and the
Music Director for the WSO, strives to create crossover and
blending between California University, the community and
the WSO. Over the 10 years during which Dr. Ikach has
directed the WSO, he has witnessed a steady growth
in attendance.
“Since the WSO started in 2005 we are averaging four times
what we used to,” said Ikach. “At first our concerts were held
in the George Washington Hotel, which only had 200 seats…
now we average about 800 guests per concert.”
His appointment as Department Chair of California University
within the past five years has enabled him to incorporate the
talents of the top quality California University musicians into
the WSO orchestra, many of whom still remain with the WSO
after graduation.
“Because we are so imbedded in the University and the
WSO, we try hard to foster the marriage of the two,” said Dr.
Ikach. “I believe the two feed off each other quite nicely by
blending the community and college. We must foster the
music however we can.”
Commercial Music Technology majors also have an
opportunity to get on-the-job experience with the WSO by
running the sound and recordings for each performance.
As part of Cal U’s Noss Lecture Series, Jeanne Marie
Laskas, author of the GQ article "Game Brain," the basis
of the major motion picture, “Concussion,” will speak.
Admission is free.
Holiday Performance Babes inToyland
CalU Theater
December 8 – 10, 2016 • 7:00 p.m.
Steele Hall’s Mainstage
December 10 – 11, 2016 • 2:00 p.m.
Cal U’s Department of Theatre
and Dance along with community
members will present the
Christmas musical “Babes in
Toyland” Ticket price is
$12 for adults, seniors
and children.
University Choir
and Orchestra
March 24, 2017 • 7:00 p.m.
The University Choir and
Orchestra perform composer
Dan Forrest’s best-known
work, “Requiem for the
Living.” Admission is free.
“One is a paid position and we have one apprentice who gets
a practicum credit,” said Ikach. “When the paid person
graduates the practicum student moves into the position –
they then handle live and recorded sound equipment and
microphone placement. It is a huge undertaking, a big
responsibility and a great opportunity for them to apply their
education in a real world setting. ”

Washington & Jefferson College
Washington & Jefferson College prides itself on bringing a
cultural flare to the area with its collection of events
throughout the school year.
Margaret Noble Opening Reception
and Artist Talk
“We are excited to invite the greater Washington community
to another year of unique visual and performance art
programming at Olin Fine Arts Center,” said university
spokesperson Erik Reuter. “From edgy, original theater and
one-of-a-kind art gallery exhibits, to music from national
performers, there is something for everyone in the region.
We hope you will join us for some – or all – of it!”
Special Events
Creating objects, installations and performances that
investigate the echoes of time in contemporary identity and
environment, Margaret Noble focuses on narratives and
legacies left behind by families, media and technology.
Noble uses found objects, constructs new objects and
designs sounds to activate spaces, reference history and
pose questions about perception. The work combines
movement, sound and narrative to function collectively as
personal time-based experiences. Admission is free.
Turtle Island Quartet, “A Love Supreme”
“LA RONDE” by Arthur Schnitzler
OIin Fine Arts Center
Olin Fine Arts Gallery
March 10, 2017 • 6:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.
OIin Fine Arts Center
November 1, 2016 • 7:30 p.m.
April 20 – 22, 2017 • 7:30 p.m., Matinee: April 22 • 2:00 p.m.
In exploring John Coltrane’s musical legacy, the two-time
GRAMMY® winning Turtle Island Quartet continues its own
tradition of employing the string quartet form to shed new
light on the timeless joy and beauty contained in the greatest
music of the American jazz masters. The concert program
will present an in-depth look at this landmark recording in the
greater context of the music that preceded and followed, a
time many consider to be the last great evolutionary period
of jazz. General Admission: $12; Seniors (60+), Alumni &
Non-W&J Students: $10; Children (12 and under): $7
Directed by Dan Shaw. By the author of other classic
romantic romps, Schnitzler's roundelay of love is told in 10
interwoven scenes: two characters appear in each scene
and one of those moves into the next. Call the Olin Box
Office at 724-223-OLIN (6546) for ticket information.
In addition to the events listed above, California University and
W & J College have a broad schedule of events to which the
general public is welcome and encouraged to attend. For a
complete listing of upcoming events please visit their prospective

from Washington Community Theater, to the Young Artist

See What’s
COOKING
By Jennie Dorris
Twice a year, more than 6,000 cooking aficionados
descend upon over 22,000 square-feet of the Washington
County Fairgrounds. Some drive multiple days and
thousands of miles. One die-hard fan flew in from Korea.
The reason? The All-Clad Factory Outlet Sale.
“The passion for the product
never stops surprising us,”
said Bill Groll, vice-president
of product development and
technology for All-Clad
Metalcrafters, and for those
with their eye on a particular
item, Groll suggests arriving
early on the sale’s first day.
Quick-to-sell items include
bake ware, waffle irons and
slow-cookers.
The Factory Outlet Sale
features both new and old
products, with an emphasis
on offering items that are
often sold-out at retail stores,
like Williams-Sonoma and
Macy’s, as well as older,
discontinued products.
Discounts on products
range from 40-75 percent,
Groll said.
In addition to Groll being on
hand, so is Wendy Dyer,
director of strategic
marketing for All-Clad, to
help customers find the right
pieces. She said often
people talk about their first
All-Clad purchase.

This year, All-Clad will be
offering its new d3 Armor
line, which outside of the
Factory Sale can only be
found at Williams-Sonoma.
“These pans have a different
construction, but are the same materials as our other
pans. The different way of putting them together increases
the evenness and gentleness of delivery of the heat,”
Groll said.
The sale itself takes place in a 17,500 square-foot room,
but due to popularity, there is a second 5,290 square-foot
room that serves as a waiting room. Customers will be

WASHCOCHAMBER.COM
issued an entry ticket and given an estimated waiting time.
They can then leave and visit other local businesses or
restaurants without losing their spot, or stay in the waiting
area and observe cooking demonstrations, check out a
map of the sale to organize their shopping and talk with
All-Clad representatives
about finding the right
pieces for their kitchen.
“I always hear that they love
how the product lasts. They
will say ‘It still performs how
it did 20 or 30 years ago’ or ‘I
still love my first pan.’ The
other thing people love is
that it is made locally,” Dyer
said.
Throughout the sale,
participants can expect AllClad to offer “flash sales” –
certain items will go on a
deeper discount until they
are sold out.
For those who anticipate a
large shopping list, All-Clad
will have a UPS station set
up near the checkout. There
are also All-Clad factory workers on hand to help
customers load their cars.
“One of the really great things about the sale is that many
of the people working are the people who make the
product in the factory. It is really gratifying for them to see
how much people love what they make,” Groll said.
