Thanks to a recent distributor sale we've got a slew of new red Burg offerings at discounted prices (that’s rare!) so let's check some out. We set aside a mix of vintages including 2018, 2019 and 2021 from Volnay, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Pernand-Vergelesses and more.

Inspired by the impressive Choucroute Garnie on the new Higgin's menu, I'm looking for more reasons to open wines from Alsace (Indian takeout is another favorite pairing). We will revisit old friends Zind-Humbrecht, Marcel Deiss, Jean Sipp and others with a focus on Riesling (dry), Pinot Blanc and field blends.

It's been too long since we've done a Washington red tasting and with a big Walla Walla trade tasting coming in early March there should be plenty of new fun wines to explore. More details to come but likely focused on Cabernet Sauvignon and Cab Sauv-based blends

One of the Valley's best and most respected longtime winemakers has now fully retired. Not only did he propel Cristom Vineyards to great heights, he started a personal label with his wife Irene called Luke Jefferson around 2012 making tiny quantities of Pinot Noir, Syrah and Chardonnay from his own vineyard and several others. Never one to toot his own horn, Steve didn't try too hard to sell these wines and now is letting them all go for crazy low prices, mostly over 65% off!
Come taste six wines with a range of Pinot Noir vintages: 2019-2016 and 2014 with a 2018 Chardonnay to whet the palate. A cool opportunity to revisit the mid-to-late 2010s, explore vintage variation, taste how different vintages are aging and more. All from such an acclaimed winemaker.
