Within months of starting work, she was offered the position of dairy and specialty manager. It was here that she fell in love with cheese for what it really is; an old world preservation of the nutritionally unique and highly misunderstood food - milk. Amy’s extensive knowledge of the natural food industry is highly focused on dairy farming practices and the production of artisan cheese. She has spent the last decade selling, teaching, tasting, traveling and story telling. Amy relocated from Arizona to Denver in 2012 and re- mained in retail management until early this year when she established A Cheese Peddler. A Cheese Peddler is a mobile operation devoted to spreading the good word of artisan cheese as part of the food movement as a whole. special guest AMY COMBS A Cheese Peddler Michael Kelley has a great passion and expertise in beer history as well as beer food pairings and tastings. He is the High End Manager, Northwest Region for Anheuser-Busch Inc. and the product knowledge expert for the greater Northwest Region. Michael studied Zythology (Study of Beer) and Oenology (Study of Wine) at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and is an avid home brewer. He took his passion for beer and turned it into an occupation in 2004. At this time he started his career with Boston based Harpoon Brewery, where he was fully immersed in the beer experience and culture. In 2006, Michael joined the Anheuser-Busch team and has been training wholesalers, retailers, and Anheuser-Busch employees on brewing, history, serving, and pairing of beer. Michael has worked with the finest restaurant groups across the country to develop menus, beer lists, and facilitate numerous beer dinners. Michael has also conducted seminars throughout the United States that include Aspen Food & Wine Classic, Sundance Film Festival and Park City Food and Wine Classic. Michael is a certified Beer Steward from the Master Brewers Association of America (MBAA). This well-respected Association was formed in 1887. Its purpose is to promote, advance, and improve the professional interest of brew and malt house production. He is also one of only fifteen certified Beer Sommeliers from the Doemens Academy in Germany and the Siebel Institute of Chicago, founded over 130 years ago. This institution provides a world class brewing education to students around the world. special guest MICHAEL KELLEY High End Manager, Northwest Region for Anheuser-Busch Inc. Steve Lewis founded Giuliana Imports in 1996. Starting exclusively with small family estates from the Italian region of Piedmont, specifically the wines of Barolo and Barbaresco. Today the Giuliana portfolio includes wineries from over fifty appellations in Italy, Spain and Argentina. Steve’s knowledge of olive oil grew over the last 18 years. He learned the “art of oil” from wine producers who are as passionate about their oil production as they are about their wines. In 2012 Steve started Giuliana Direct Olive Oil to organize and expand the olive oil portfolio to the greatest production zones in the Mediterranean. His goal was to market some of Europe’s greatest producers. These olive oils have never been available stateside. Steve has a fresh and new look at this ancient food that is at the same time delicious, sacred, healthy and difficult to find in its true form. Steve’s companies are Colorado based in the Boulder-Denver area. He spends a large part of his time in Vail Valley with his family. special guest STEVEN LEWIS Founder of Giuliana Imports Pete Marczyk, Founder and CEO - The Name on the Door Pete really, really loves to eat and drink and cook. He created Marczyk Fine Foods way back in 2002 with the help of his wife Barbara. Everything from the layout of the meat cases to the products on the shelves, came from the vision he created all those years ago. He also had the good sense to hire his brother, two years later, as manager of operations. Pete continues to head the family business, pushing his long-term vision of sustainability and growth in a scalable neighborhood market concept. You might also catch him foraging for Rocky Mountain Porcini or skiing with his brother in his free time. The Marczyk award-winning Pork Green Chile is one of his favorite things in the universe (it should be, since he’s the one who painstakingly developed the recipe) and he also loves the many other classic family recipes that are still being used today in the market kitchen. His motto: Keep it simple, make it great! Barbara Macfarlane, Founder and former CMO - The Queen Bee Barbara was the marketing director of Marczyk Fine Foods since she first helped open our doors with her husband Pete, in 2002. Ever since then, she’s been the brains behind our brand building and placement in the Denver grocery world, lending over 25 years of Denver marketing and PR experience. In 2014 she decided to pass her marketing torch on and spend some time with their son, but remains a key figure in the company working on our community outreach, non-profit partnerships and local and national PR. She insists you try the oven fried chicken in the summer, and the Cuban pork and beans in the winter. special guest PETE AND BARBARA MARCZYK Marczyk Fine Foods Once a hugely respected sommelier who reveled in the extravagance of princely pours, Josh now sips from the cups of carpenters as lord of wine, beer and spirits at Best Cellars at A&P — a chain of value-oriented wine stores where the bottles are arranged by taste and affordably priced.
