We have visited biodynamic vineyards before. In fact we've been to quite a few. I find it amazing how connected the community is and how willing they are to share information and knowledge. This morning Craig Camp graciously took the time to show us around the Troon vineyard, which is certified biodynamic and regenerative.
They are taking everything that extra step. We saw the vineyard, the sheep, met the sheep dogs, saw the biodynamic shed, which is where high tech science and biodynamics meet. We met the earthworms, saw the compost preparations, and visited the pollinators garden which is also where they grow the dandelion, stinging nettle and valerian for the preparations. Craig filled us in on all the details and introduced us to Andrew their biodynamic consultant. More than that we were able to sit and taste through their lineup with Craig, including their Frizzante, and their Kubrick Bench Amber! I cannot wait to share with you all the details of our visit, and we will be compiling some great footage for a video! @troonwines

_____ Neil Collins, (who is also the winemaker at Tablas Creek), his sister Jackie and his wife Marci opened Lone Madrone and Bristol Cider. His son Jordan now does some of the winemaking and vineyard management.
_____ We have visited before, but it's been a while! We had a lovely tasting with Lorraine! While we enjoyed all the wines, one of my favorites was the 2020 Picpoul Blanc.
____ The cheese plate was delicious and I particularly liked the olives in citrus infused oil (Yum Chef Scott!)
_____ We also tasted two of the Bristol Ciders. These are traditional British ciders. You might recall that we had a Dunkertons British cider left to taste after our sidra tasting! Well I look forward to a side by side with these two!
____ Watch for a post coming soon on our tasting!
_____ You can check out the rest of today's adventure on our IG story!
____ There will be more travel and wine tomorrow and we continue our journey North to #WMC21 in Eugene!

Afternoon feels...cleaning out the fridge before heading north. (Who knew I had so many fixins' for cheese plates in my fridge? I must be doing something right!) The @tablascreek Dianthus 2020...one of the few wonderful things to come out of 2020 (well, as well as the contents of my fridge evidently! LOL)

Yeah...it's all in there! xobc is a wine brand fr

Thank you @garagiste_lv for this beautiful Meinklang, low intervention orange wine from Austria! It was delicious when I wasn't sure what I wanted! Thank you also for being so gracious when a 6 person party, suddenly became 20. #unexpectedguests

#Samples You remember a while back when we trekked into the wild at Mt. Charleston and picnicked with a view and a wonderful Rosé from the Hérault department in the South of France?
_____ Well, when we received that #sample from Kind of Wild they included 2 other wines, that we couldn’t fit in our backpack that day. We saved those to pair with a bit of grilling.
_____ The bottles we received were the 2020 Sauvignon Blanc from Valle de Lolol, Chile, and the 2020 Malbec-Cabernet Sauvignon from Mendoza, Argentina, so we were doing a bit of a South American theme! 🇨🇱🇦🇷
_____ These wines are sourced from family owned organic and regenerative vineyards around the world so they are doing good things for the planet!
🌱🌎
_____ We had a bit of an adventure grilling a edible cheese plate! Then we did a marinated flank steak to go with the Malbec-Cab and garlic thyme grilled shrimp for the Sav Blanc. For a healthy side we made a broccoli, purple cabbage and grape salad.

We are doing a bit of virtual travel to Asturias, which is in Northern Spain on the Cantabrian Sea, tucked in between Cantabria and Galicia.
_____ This is the land of Sidra or hard cider, made from apples. They are proud of their cider here, it has a deep culture with lots of fascinating “rules”, for pouring, sharing and tossing the Sidra!
_____ Our Cider came from Bodegas Mayador, who have been making sidras since 1939. The orchards are close to the coast near the small town of Villaviciosa.
_____ We tasted the Mayador Sidra Natural 2017 & the Sidra Asturiana Mayador limited production Sidra Espumante 2017 and paired them with a cheese plate with Valdéon, a Spanish blue cheese, chorizo, membrillo (quince paste) and Marcona almonds, plus
a Spanish inspired grilled Cheese sandwich.
