We tend to our seven acres of grapes on working Bainbridge Island farmland, and are committed to using sustainable agricultural practices. Made with varietals originally from European wine growing regions similar to our own, such as the French Loire Valley, Alsace, and parts of Germany, our 100% estate-grown wines are an expression of the beauty and territory of the Puget Sound.We invite you to come and experience our range of offerings, from our driest “seafood friendly” white, to our Pinot Noir, to our raspberry dessert wine. Our farmstead vineyards and winery is open every Saturday and Sunday from 12 pm to 5 pm for tastings and wines by the glass. Bring a picnic to enjoy during the warmer months! When she was 11 years old, Lisa Newnham’s family moved to Bainbridge. While growing up on the island, pets played an important role in family life. Following graduation from Bainbridge High, she was first a Husky, then a Cougar before finally becoming a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. In 2003 Dr. Lisa Newnham returned home to start a practice that set very high standards for patient and client care. She wanted her practice to be known for teaching clients about their pet’s health and individualizing veterinary care to meet the needs of the entire family. She has dedicated her practice to maximizing the number of happy, healthy years her patients spend with their families. At Companion Animal Wellness Center, she’s put together a team of veterinary professionals who take the time to listen. We believe the first step to providing high quality veterinary care is to understand the big picture of your pet’s life with you. ‘ We’re located just a mile north of the Agate Pass bridge on Lemolo Shore Drive with evening appointments available Tuesday/Wednesday and 8 am appointments available on Monday/Thursday. We’re currently welcoming new clients and hope your family will soon be one of them.

I'll never forget a rugged hiking trip on Vancouver Island. After several hours of bush whacking through dense rain forest, I emerged on a rarely visited beach as the sun was setting. My friend hiking with me ran to the highest point, a wave pummeled rock. I snapped my shutter once, capturing my friend running a hand through her long blond hair, looking out to the Pacific, and beautifully silhouetted by the warm setting sun. These are the moments I live for, and am weekly presented with them through my photography business. I am honored to capture photographs of little ones and their family's simple love and joy in the beautiful Northwest. I wouldn't trade my job for anything.

MEMBER NEWS INHEALTH IMAGING INSTALLS STATE OF THE ART MRI AND CT TECHNOLOGY We understand the wood floors our customers choose today will last generations. As wood flooring professionals we do our best to stay well informed in the latest industry information. We are dedicated to helping our clients through the process, giving each home the attention to detail and above standard skill to deliver beautiful wood floors that will last a lifetime. InHealth Imaging has installed the only 3Tesla MRI on the West Sound and a Low Radiation 64-Slice CT Scanner. These two new pieces of equipment have now been installed in InHealth Imaging’s Poulsbo office (the 3T MRI needed to be lifted off a truck and into the building by a 55-ton crane) which means that the radiologists and staff at InHealth Imaging are now offering the most advanced MRI and CT imaging services available. The 3T MRI offers maximum comfort, optimized exam time, and the confidence that the images generated will be of the highest resolution, and additionally there is no concern about radiation with MRI. It is very, very fast and very precise. As well, with one foot of spacious headroom patients won't feel like they are nose to nose with the top of the magnet. This means the tight confines in older MRIs are a thing of the past. The primary benefits of the new 64-slice CT at InHealth Imaging is that it provides patients lower radiation, advanced imaging capabilities, and more comfort with a much larger opening. InHealth Imaging LLC is a private, outpatient medical doctor's practice founded by Dr. Manfred Henne. We are proud to say that 95% of new business comes from referrals and we will continue to do our best to keep it this way.
