Big Table Farm Zoom Tasting - January 29th, 5:00PM Arizona, 7:00 Eastern, 4:00 Pacific

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!

We have put together a three wine package of some of my favorites for the tasting:

Wild Bee Chardonnay: A great example of Oregon Chard it is versatile and works great as a cocktail wine, with chicken, or less pungent seafood. The per bottle price is $28

Pinot Gris: Fermented with its skins it has an orangish color (that is why white wines fermented on their skins are called orange wines) and a unique flavor that I particularly enjoy with cured meats and shellfish. $32.

Willamette Valley Pinot Noir: Fruity and complex with a bit of earthiness. 92 points from Wine Spectator, and high scores from several others. I enjoy this one pork dishes (it has pigs on the label so I guess that makes sense) and salmon. $48 They are offering us two packages.

A three-pack is $100 plus tax and shipping (@$30-$60 to most of the continental US)

2 three packs for $200, +Tax. Free Shipping to the continental U.S.

They have set up a special link for this offer. If you would like to order click here: Big Table Farm Winery - ZoomSpecial

Hope you can make it.

How long should you age your wine?

Image
Mr. Franklin Yost of Bocca Del Vista Florida writes: "Hey wine guy I'm 82 years old, have been holding on to several bottles of wine for several years but I'm thinking if I don't hurry up and drink 'em they will outlive me. How long should I wait?" . Thanks for your question Franklin.  How long to age wine is one of the most frequent questions us wine guys get.  Given your age I will try and answer quickly. Most people think that the older a wine gets the better it gets.  That is not always the case and, unlike you Franklin, even wines that improve with age at some point start to decline.  The main reason for that change is that over time the tiny amount of oxygen that the cork allows into the bottle causes the tannin in the wine (what makes your mouth pucker up when you drink some wines bite into a tea bag and you will understand) to soften making the wine smoother.  As the tannin becomes less pronounced the fruit and other flavors become more not...

So you don’t like red wine huh?

Image
You are one of those “I hate red wine, I only drink white” kind of people? It’s fine.  This is America you are free to be who you want to be.  But that doesn’t mean you are right.    I would bet that the reason you don’t like red wine is because you probably have gone about it all wrong.   You are probably used to drinking fruit wine, sweet wines (click here to find out if it is wrong to drink sweet wine) , or even chardonnay.  Someone once probably served you a two year old red Napa Cabernet Sauvignon and your face puckered up like an old guy who forgot to put in his dentures, and you probably e spit it out thinking to yourself “who the heck can drink this crap”.  Starting out with a young Cabernet Sauvignon is like learning to ski on an Olympic downhill course instead of the bunny hill.  You simply started with the wrong red wine.  You went too fast too soon.   The reason your mouth puckered up and you did not enjoy th...

Two Great Value Wines At Costco

Image
Costco believe it or not is one of the biggest wine retailers in the world.  Because of that they are able to leverage their size to get great great wines at great prices.  They have a rotating selection of wines, and depending on the drinking habits of the surrounding area the sell different wines at different locations. At my Costco they carry two wines that I consider to be great values that they always seem to have in stock.   One is Chateau D' Aqueria Tavel Rose.  Tavel is an application in the southern Rhone region of France that only produces dry Rose.  It is one of the most full bodied rose wines you will ever experience.  I love to drink it by itself but I also pair it with Salmon.  $12.99 is an outstanding price for a wine this good. My other favorite Costco wine is Villa Antinori Toscana red table wine.   This highly rated wine is a Super Tuscan (a wine produced in Tuscany with at least some grapes not being Sangiovese)...
