Asiago w/ Rosemary
From Wisconsin, Asiago with Rosemary is a sweet and savory cows’ milk cheese. The rosemary gives this cheese just the right finish.

Lemon Stilton
From England, this cows’ milk cheese is a young white stilton. Long Clawson adds lemon citron. It tastes like cheesecake anis a perfect match for fresh fruit.
Paired with Rhythm & Blues
Prairie Breeze
Cows’ milk, from small family farms in Iowa. Pleasant, nutty tones and crystal crunches make this something special.
Paired with XR Cyser
Peppadew Spread
A peppadew is a sweet, hot pepper grown in the Limpopo province of South Africa. Blended with a mixture of cheeses it makes a spreadable snack.
Paired with Grateful Head
Mango & Ginger Stilton
From England, a young white Stilton with sweet mango and spicy ginger pieces. Like cheese cake without the crust. Delightful.

Spring has sprung at St. Ambrose Cellars! The Sleeping Bear Farms bee hives have returned, so if you get out here soon, you can experience the wonderful symphony of nature that a yard full of hives produces. It’s truly a unique experience that we recommend checking out before they disperse to their summer jobs pollinating the Northern Michigan orchards and farm lands.
With the temperatures hovering in the 50s and 60s, it looks like you’ll have another week or so to get a piece of our $1 Beer Deal – until it hits 70 degree outside (or we run out) we are offering $1 glasses of Stoney Wheat. Stoney Wheat is a summery fruit wheat beer that features stonefruit flavors.
On Thursday night, as per usual, we’ll have Open Mic Night hosted by Jim and Wanda Curtis. Always a great time! The fun starts at 6PM, and growlers/howlers are 35% all day.
In addition, you can check out our Spring Sale that is running through Memorial Day. You get 20% off all apparel in the tasting room, you get 50% off on Rose’ Ambrosia purchases, and (on any day but Thursday) if you buy a growler fill, you get a second fill at 50% off. Help us make way for the summer season with these awesome deals.
Jim Spalink joins us on Friday night for a night of storytelling and song. Jim is a talented musician and we are super excited to have him back in the tasting room for another show. Below is a great music video he made in honor of an old piano that he was retiring, featuring an original composition and some beautiful photography.
Coming up soon, we have our May Painting Class. Hosted by Toinette Wicks, you get hands-on instruction, all materials, and 10% off your tab that day – the class is $30 per person and it runs from 3PM to 6PM on Monday, May 7th.

Look for details on that soon!
We hope to see you around this week – enjoy the sun!
April rolls on here at St. Ambrose Cellars, and we’ve got more great events for you this week.
We have a couple special deals running in the tasting room right now, if you haven’t heard. First, there’s our Spring Sale. As we make room for the summer season, we’re offering 20% off on ALL of our apparel – as well as 50% off Rose’ Ambrosia bottles and a special (every day but Thursday) on growler fills – buy one, and you get your second at 50% off. What a steal!
After the ridiculous winter weather last weekend that had us closed for two days digging out of the storm, we wanted to do something to chase those blues away. We looked at our taps, and decided that we were going to help usher in the warmer weather (someday) with $1 glasses of our summery wheat bear, Stoney Wheat. Come on in and get your dollar beer, and think sunny thoughts.
As always, we have Open Mic and Thirsty Thursday coming up on Thursday, 4/19. The Open Mic fun starts at 6PM and the 35% off howler/growler fills last all day. Stock up on your favorite meads and ciders with us this Thursday.
This weekend, we’ve got the wonderful Jack Pine Savage performing on Saturday night in the tasting room. JPS is one of our favorite acts here, and they always bring a fun crowd – come by at 6PM for the show.
On Sunday, it’s time for The Cheese Lady! She’ll be here from 12PM to 4PM. For just $15 you get to sample six cheeses and 5 of our wines/meads. No advance tickets needed. You can view the entire menu here. This is always a great time, and we encourage you to come by this Sunday afternoon and try the cheese pairings. We’ll have the cheese for sale on site as well, so you can keep the party going at home.
If you can’t make it to the tasting room, remember that you can find a store carrying our products near you with the help of our store locator. We keep it as up to date as possible to help you find our products in Michigan, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and North Carolina. If you aren’t in one of those states – or there’s no store near you – you can also order online and have some St. Ambrose Cellars goodness delivered right to your door.
