Perfect 13 Tales Party Food?

@BracchusATalbot tweets:

Depends on how many peeps and how tricky how much money you can spend etc. Slow cooked pork shoulder is easy and can go on crackers or be served with a friggin souffle.

Call K&L wines and get a load of ’96 Lanessan. It’s affordable and amazing. Our Dandy NYE champagne is Schoenheitz NV Cremant d’Alsace. Should be 13 bucks a bottle and is awesome.

Courtney: I Love To Eat

Last night I went to see this one-man show about James Beard. I went to dinner at Blue Hour then walked around the corner to see the play. That was a perfect evening. I highly recommend it and if you don’t live in Portland I can tell you it would be worth flying in for, in my book.

The dude playing James Beard is totally amazing. Charming and brazen, wordly and world-weary. I wanted so badly to take him out to dinner or have him over to the Oddy for a nice 7 course wine pairing but then I realized, “DOH! That’s not James Beard, that’s an actor. DAMN. This guy is good.”

P.S. At Blue Hour I had Oregon Coast Kumamotos with a glass of Veuve (by the glass. Rad) and then the black cod with a risotto cake. Brought my own Croatian wine. Awesome. All was right and true in the world of food.

Now Is The Time for Chateau Taylor-Taylor

courtney wine

Alrighty if you were with us Saturday night you tasted Chateau Taylor-Taylor with one of the dinner courses. Here’s a pic of it with Andreas’ (Zues chef) gravlox w/caper and peppers. This guy sure can cure him some salmon. Firm and smokey, this is great stuff and it flatters the hell out of my wine of which there’s only about twenty-some cases left so if you’re wanting to get in on it, now is the time.

Buy some Chateau Taylor-Taylor.

Chateau Taylor-Taylor Update

Well we polished off two bottles of Chateau Taylor-Taylor with Thai food the other night and it rocked. I had the viticulturist from Rex Hill winery over and he was blown away.

The wine turned out lighter and brighter than I thought so you can add slightly tangy dishes to its pairings now too. It’s more like an Oregon Pinot Noir which is probably part of why my Rex Hill guy loved it (They make a huge number of modern, high quality Pinots. Check em out). The finish on this wine is where it’s at. That’s where you can tell the quality and the age of the vines. It’s long and ancient.

Well anyhoo I can’t wait to bring one into my favorite Mexican joint and get seriously fatter. There’s Indian right down the street so that’s my job for tomorrow. I’ll letcha know how it goes.

If you can put some away for next spring/summer you’ll be glad you did. The bottleshock will have gone away and well, plus this wine turned out to be pretty summery.

Chateau Taylor-Taylor Arrives in US

Ok, the wine is at the port in New York. It’s in America and is getting trucked to the warehouse today or Monday. THEN it gets sent to everybody who bought some and curry and mexican food sales are gonna skyrocket!

I tell you what though, I’m gonna have a major Mexican seven course dinner party and go thru like two cases the first night. God this is exciting.

Four-wheelers with Gewurtrameiner

Me and Nick at his family winery. Tasted a couple German style whites from Oregon wine country that I liked. The place was ridiculously beautiful. Four-wheelers with Gewurtrameiner sloshing around in some pretty nice stemware. Old wine hippies are cool.

A Word About Chateau Taylor-Taylor

Oh it’s getting pretty exciting for Chateau Double Taylor. We’re taking PRE ORDERS now and depending on weather will begin shipping later this month.

Now the price is lower and the more bottles you order the lower the cost of shipping and vino.

I was asked about it a lot during this last trip to Europe and it looks like I’ll be able to work out shipping directly from the Sicilian vintners for that side of the pond.

Order up now cuz they’re making a limited amount for me and it IS the best red wine pairing for spicy food that I’ve ever had.

Love and vino,
