Forks Washington on the Olympic Peninsula

Is it just us?  Why does everything around here seem to be influenced by Twilight-mania?

For example, Olympic Cellars, one of our favorite wineries, recently launched their new Sparkling Twilight wine. The label from this delicious sparkling Syrah reads:

A sparkling wine that bubbles with enthusiasm in celebration of your day’s journey and adventures.

Sipped at Twilight as the Olympic Mountains take on the dazzling hues of the coming night, tiny bubbles mirror the Sparkling sky.

Enjoy the berry fruit character of this lively and refreshing Syrah. Off-dry, ruby in color, with fresh flavors of raspberries, cherries and red fruit.

Another example is Mt. Townsend Creamery's latest volley on the artisan cheese front--their New Moon cheese.  We're pretty sure our friends at Mt. Townsend Creamery (our favorite creamery and the producer of insanely good cheese), weren't trying to dogpile on the Twilight craze.  The connection between cheese and the moon is pretty well-established!  But this cheese is really good (kind of a Jack cheese with a smooth, rich texture) and we're telling everyone it's Twilight-related, even though it's probably not.  In fact, we're betting this is the kind of cheese Stephenie Meyer herself would buy if she stops in at the creamery or visits the (excellent) Farmers Market in uptown Port Townsend when she's in the area.

Both of these products are available online--wouldn't they be just killer, along with some of the Chamber's own Twilight and Forks-related merchandise, as part of a gift basket of authentic North Olympic Peninsula goodies for your favorite Twihard?
