BTF fall newsletter re - upcoming thanksgiving weekend!

It's officially fall, the light is low in the sky, it has started raining in earnest and the wines are safely in barrel!
2014 was a very special vintage at Big Table Farm it was truly magical to make the wines here at the farm.

Thank you again to our community of builders, founders, friends and most importantly those of you who continue to purchase and enjoy the wine we make. The winery was complete enough to be usable for harvest which was no small feat. Now is time for buttoning up the last details and putting everything right before the end of the year.

In the mean time a couple pieces of news worth mentioning and some invites.

Our doors will be open as part of the annual Thanksgiving weekend however due to a 'clareical' error we are not on the WVWA tasting... but rest assured we will be here pouring fall wines (what's left of them) Nov 28,29 and 30th from 11 - 4pm and we'd love to see you.

We also received a great honor From Wine and Spirits - Big Table Farm is in the top 100 wineries of the world!
To our delight the scores and accolades keep rolling in - keep up the great work Brian.

With the winery here at the farm things are all falling into place and we are still in awe!  For those of you that have yet to place your fall orders please don't delay as we only have a hand full of cases of the Cattrall vineyard pinot left and the others will be quick behind it with the thanks giving weekend fast approaching.  Also If any of you missed the edelzwicker with your fall order I would make sure you pick up a few bottles it's drinking really well. It's fattened up since summer and this dry white has taken on a beautiful richness. I think it's the perfect wine to bring to dinner or a holiday party. 

Cheers! Happy Fall and warm wishes for the holidays - Clare and Brian

ps - for those of you on the west coast and texas - I think this is your last chance to ship ground...

Two great Chefs, Jacobsen salt and big table farm wines!

Jacobsen Salt Co. is teaming up with big table farm to present the first meal of the Salt Fire Water Dinner Series



These two amazing chefs will featuring Big Table Farm wines for this inaugural meal!

On November 6th and 7th we will host  James Beard Award Winning chef April Bloomfield from the Spotted Pig in NYC + Chef Vitaly Paley of Paley’s Place in Portland, Oregon. 

The six course menu that they create together will be constrained only by the idea of the traditional and modern uses of salt throughout the four seasons. The meal will be a celebration of Oregon Bounty and as such, ingredients for the dinners will be sourced from Oregon farmers, ranchers, fishermen and artisans, and beverages served will be produced in Oregon. In many cases, the very same farmers and vintners who contributed to the meal will join guests at the communal table.

6 special wines for this dinner will be sourced and paired by Big Table Farm.
 
Each event will span two days with one seating of 48 people each night. Tickets to the six course, wine paired dinner are $135 per person, gratuity included.
