I'm often asked what some of my favorite wines are. A lot of them are not widely available so I can't include them in my tastings. That is about to change. One of my favorite wineries is Big Table Farm from Carlton (Willamette) Oregon. Their wines have received outstanding ratings from Wine Spectator Magazine and other wine publications. The owners and winery have been featured in the New York Times and a host of other publications. These wines are usually only available at the winery or via their mailing list. If you want to find out more about them here is a link to their web site:  https://www.bigtablefarm.com/ I let them know I wanted to feature their wines for a tasting and if they could set a package deal for us and they agreed!

  Everyone knows about Chianti, Barolo, and Super Tuscans but Italy produces a number of other great wines as well. Because of the popularity of the more famous reds, these outstanding wines often get overlooked. On Friday, January 8th, at 5:00 Arizona Time, 4:00 Pacific, and 7:00 Eastern time you will have the opportunity to discover 3 of them. We are going to be tasing Zaccagnini Montepulciano D’Abruzzo ($13.99 Total Wine before discounts), Cusumano Nero D’Avola Sicilia ($13.29), and a Dolia Cannonau Di Sardegna ($13.49). All are great values that taste much better than the price would lead you to believe. The first two are available nationally as well as at Total Wine if; you can't find the Dola Cannonau feel free to substitute any other that you find. As always there is no charge to attend but if you feel like sending a gratuity, I won’t say no. Hope you can make it! Click Here To Register.:
