Pend Oreille Pasta & Wine Honored as Business of the Month

The Chamber is proud to announce Pend Oreille Pasta & Wine as business of the month.

Owned by John and Valerie Albi, Pend Oreille Pasta & Wine has served the Greater Sandpoint area for over 10 years. They began as a small business making handmade pasta and pasta sauces. They had a few tables to serve customers at that time. Now, located in Ponderay, the gourmet grocery store includes one of North Idaho’s most extensive wine selections with a large assortment of domestic and imported wines and quality selection of handmade pastas and sauces, cheeses, and artisan breads. Their high quality, specialty foods combined with excellent wines make excellent gift baskets that they can personalize to fit a budget. Additionally, they offer reasonably priced catering for all occasions and have continued a long-standing service catering dinners for Lake Pend Oreille Cruises.

John and Valerie love good, fresh foods and enjoy preparing these foods for their customers. “They sell good, affordable wines and are very helpful when you are looking for the perfect wine for the perfect dinner,” says Carol Warren.

Pend Oreille Pasta & Wine has been a long-standing supporter of the Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce. They’ve provided catering services and have been involved with the annual Taste of Sandpoint and Summer Sampler. The Chamber thanks them for their continued involvement and impeccable service to the Greater Sandpoint area.
