Summer is finally here! Now that the days are long and the sun is here to stay, it’s also officially time for the summer barbeques to commence. As if we needed a reason to crack open a bottle of our signature David’s Tableau Vivant Bordeaux blend! A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc,…
Growing up with a professional Chef for a Dad, it probably comes as no surprise that I’ve always been surrounded by food and wine! Among my earliest memories are my dad’s legendary ‘Saturday Night Dinners.’ As a family tradition, these dinners gave my dad a creative outlet to continue his growth as a chef while…
Summer is finally here in the Pacific Northwest! With these long, warm days, there are few places we would rather be than on the patio with a chilled glass of wine. It adds a sparkle to any evening. Is there any better way to enjoy the beautiful sunshine than catching up with friends over…

Suggested wine pairing: 2016 Barrel Select Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley AVA Leftover wine is a rare occurrence in my household but when I have an extra splash from a bottle that’s been open a few days too many, I get to cooking. This recipe is all about nuance and depth. Calling for a full cup…
Suggested Wine Pairing: 2017 Barrel Select Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley AVA There is nothing I love more than a fresh, zesty salad that adds that light, refreshing element to even the heartiest meal. When I’m back home at my family’s vineyard in Carlton (a teeny wine town in the heart of Oregon’s wine country) there…
