Reschedule: Final Friday Chef Series & This Week's Tastings

Thursday Tasting: Oregon W**e Club

Thursday, October 1st 5:00 - 7:00pm

Join us this afternoon to taste through this month's w**e club selections! All are welcome. This month we're zooming into one of North America's most respected w**e regions: Oregon.

Over 70% of vineyards in Oregon product less than 5,000 cases per year. The region leads the U.S. in sustainable viticulture, prioritizing organic and biodynamic farming to protect local ecosystems.

Owner/w**emaker of this month’s w**es, Vincent Fritzsche, launched Vincent W**e Company (https://vincentw**ecompany.com/) in 2009 after years of apprenticeship at w**eries in Oregon and California. Located right in the heart of the Willamette Valley, they practice low-input w**emaking using grapes from sustainably-farmed vineyards to produce small amounts of handmade w**e without a lot of fuss.

Vincent Pinot Blanc
This 2023 Pinot Blanc comes from a small, .63 acre plot at Zenith vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills, vines planted in 1997. We love Pinot Blanc made in the small tradition of the grape in Burgundy, where it’s treated essentially like Chardonnay with barrel fermentation and lees aging in oak before bottling. The key is picking the fruit when it’s ripe but not too ripe, then giving the fermentation plenty of time to finish naturally. Fresh, citrusy and orchard fruit notes, with a crispness from the grapes and just the right amount of richness from the lees aging in wood. Only older, neutral barrels used here, try with cheeses as well as the usual assortment of lighter foods.

Whole cluster pressing, juice settled for two days, then racked into neutral French oak. Native yeast and malolactic fermentations, no stirring, just time to allow things to finish and the w**e to settle out naturally. Aged for 10 months in barrel, bottled without fining or filtration, only minimum effective SO2 used.

Vincent Pinot Noir
The 2024 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley is our first Pinot Noir release of the classic 2024 vintage. A relatively mild growing season given our warmer climate in recent times, 2024 gave w**es of terrific concentration with strong acidities to ensure good cellar potential. This cuvee is assembled from barrels from all four vineyards we made Pinot Noir from, much of the press w**e and then some barrels that didn’t quite make the cut for higher end bottlings. The result is a juicy, bright and fleshy Pinot Noir for drinking now over the next few years, though if you left some in the cellar for 5+ years you might like the results.

Mostly destemmed into 1.5 ton fermenters, with some lots seeing partial whole cluster fermentation. Native yeast and malolactic fermentations, only a few punchdowns and pump overs during the three week maceration, aged for 10 months in older French oak barrels, bottled without fining or filtration, only minimum effective SO2 used.

Friday Chef Series Rescheduled to Tomorrow: Lottie's Meats & Provisions

October 2nd 4:30pm - Sell Out

Due to the crazy rain last Friday we've rescheduled our final chef series to this Friday!

While our free Friday w**e tastings go all year round, it's bittersweet to reach our final block party of the summer. We've so enjoyed hosting the nearly 20 chefs here on 23rd to feed the Sloan's Lake and Lower Highlands community.

This Friday we'll send summer away and say "hellloooooo fall" with Lottie's Meats (https://www.lottiesmeats.com/?srsltid=AU7gw4WSiIqVjOr_65kXJ5BxvC4LP_O0dG5Yft_TCqNp8U5MwEEN4qKw) !

Sisters Chelsea and Cassie grew up on a pork farm in rural Illinois. Chelsey went to the Culinary Institute of America & Cassie to work in Corporate before they decided to take the leap and launch a premium cuts, ingredient-focused sausage brand here in Denver.

Now found on shelves across the country, Lottie's has become a beloved household name for many of us.

Join us for a cookout this Friday from 4:30-sellout for some grub and a farewell to our summer chef series. Until next year!

With love & a little tannin,
Hannah

Final Friday Chef Series & This Week's Tastings

Thursday Tasting: Spirit Hound Distillery

Thursday, September 24th 5:00 - 7:00pm

Join us Thursday evening to sample a few products by Spirit Hound (https://www.spirithounds.com/) - one of our favorite local distilleries.

We all know that Colorado is home to some of the best craft b**r in the world, but did you know we grow high-quality grain - and a lot of it? Barley, wheat, corn, and rye are grown in high quality and large quantities across the state. Lucky us, because that quality grain turns into unique, Colorado grain-to-glass wh***eys, ryes, bourbons, vodkas, and more.

To showcase the best spirits in the area, along with local brews, we’re excited to be kicking off weekly spirits and b**r tastings every Thursday, starting next week! Some exciting tastings to look forward to include Law’s Wh***ey House, Spirit Hound, Ancestors Distilling, 2 Towns C***r House, The Heart Distilling, and many more.

Thursday tastings will be a great way to learn about local distilleries and breweries and try new products for your at-home bar.

Hope to see you around the tasting table!

Back in May, I had the great privilege of exploring the southern Central Coast thanks to Paul Stroud and the hardworking, hospitable w**emakers to follow in this post.

We drove along 101, north from Santa Barbara to the sandy & clay loams of Santa Ynez Valley. Then past Point Conception to find the limestone bedrock of San Luis Obispo.

Tasting w**es poured by their maker while standing on the soil of which they were cultivated is an incredibly special experience.

The mornings were foggy and chilled.

The afternoons sunny and warm - always with a gentle breeze thanks to the transverse mountains funneling maritime air into the valley.

California w**es are not only over-oaked, over-extracted fruit bombs of the 80’s.

W**emakers like Alice Anderson …

And Gina Louise Giugni ….

And Mikey Giugni …

And Outward W**es work hard to capture the unique terroir of their plots in the bottle, resulting in precise w**es with elegance & finesse.

We’re excited to share our allotment of fall releases from these w**eries.

Alice Anderson’s Syrah from the Ibarra-Young Vineyard, one of the first sites ever planted in Santa Barbara’s Santa Ynez Valley in 1971. Additionally, Alice’s Ravie (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre) and Estate Cabernet Sauvignon.

Gina Louise Giugni’s Albariño and Dolcetto from their own Bassi Vineyard in the hills of Avila Valley.

Outward W**es Pinot Noir also from Bassi and their Valdigue from Shell Creek, one of the first vineyards planted in the Santa Rita Hills.

Mikey Giugni’s Grenache of Bassi Vineyard & Gamay Noir of Topotero Vineyard - a 5-acre biodynamic estate just two miles from the Pacific.

We only secured a handful of these w**es, quantities are limited. We hope you’ll swing by to give them a go.
