Still dreaming about this pairing…

2023 Dutton Ranch Pinot Blanc + Laura Chenel fresh goat cheese + mango jam. Laura Chenel

Creamy and tangy. Sweet and tropical. All brought together by the bright acidity and juicy fruit of the Pinot Blanc.

We tasted plenty of delicious combinations at our W**e & Cheese evening, but this one? We’re still talking about it.

Our pairing of the summer.

Save this one for your next cheese board.

Sometimes the only plan you need is a good Pinot Noir tasting. 🍷

Come spend a little time with us in Glen Ellen and taste your way through our lineup of small-production, single-vineyard Pinot Noirs from some of our favorite vineyards across Northern California.

And yes, we think that sounds like a pretty great way to spend an afternoon.

Some days, words aren’t necessary.

Just a beautiful glass of Pinot Noir.

One of my favorite parts of Talisman is introducing people to the incredible diversity of Pinot Noir. Every vineyard has its own personality, and every bottle tells a different story.

If you’ve never explored single-vineyard Pinot Noir before, I hope you’ll let us pour you a glass someday soon!

Cheers,
Marta

Question for the w**e lovers...

If we hosted another intimate Nebbiolo dinner this fall, would you want a seat at the table?

Our first dinner sold out before many people had a chance to grab tickets, so we’re considering a second evening dedicated to one of Italy’s most captivating grapes.

Let us know in the comments. Your answer might just determine our next event.

What happens when great Pinot Noir meets great cheese?

Last week, we gathered around the table for an evening of tasting, learning, and discovering unexpected pairings with cheesemonger Elizabeth Stallinga.

From cave-aged Gruyère from Switzerland to a 1,000-day-aged farmstead Gouda from Wisconsin, each cheese brought something different to the w**es. Some pairings highlighted texture. Others revealed flavors we hadn’t noticed before.

One of the evening’s standouts? An indulgent buffalo milk cheese layered with mascarpone and black truffles that had guests reaching back for another bite—and another sip.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for a night of great conversation, thoughtful pairings, and a deeper appreciation for how food and w**e can transform one another.

What pairing surprised you most?

This summer, you might just find yourself reaching for Pinot Blanc on repeat.

With bright acidity, beautiful texture, and layers of white peach, pear, citrus, and fresh florals, Pinot Blanc is one of those w**es that quietly wins people over, glass after glass.

It's refreshing enough for warm afternoons, complex enough for the dinner table, and versatile enough to pair with just about everything summer has to offer.

If you've never tried Pinot Blanc, consider this your sign.

In Her Element - Marta

Always in motion.

One day she’s pouring w**e in Sonoma. The next she’s on a plane, hosting dinners, visiting customers, sharing stories, and spreading the gospel of Pinot Noir wherever she goes.

As co-founder of Talisman, Marta has spent years building the w**ery not just through the w**es themselves, but through relationships, hospitality, and an incredible ability to connect people around the table.

She somehow manages to make everyone feel like an old friend, all while keeping a hundred things moving at once behind the scenes.

This is Marta in her element: talking Pinot, pouring generously, and bringing Talisman into the world one conversation at a time.

Happy Birthday, Marta.

Meet the Growers: Dutton Ranch | Part II The Taste

Now to the glass.

Dutton Ranch Pinot Blanc is all about texture, freshness, and quiet complexity, a beautiful expression of Russian River Valley fruit.

In the glass:
• Brioche, lemon chiffon, and white peach
• Bright acidity balanced by a velvety texture
• Notes of pear, white flowers, and flinty wet granite

This is a w**e that feels both vibrant and comforting at the same time, layered, mouthwatering, and incredibly easy to return to.

Save this for your next summer bottle.

Meet Elizabeth.

For our upcoming W**e & Cheese Experience, we're excited to welcome Elizabeth Stallinga, whose passion for artisan cheese is every bit as deep as our passion for Pinot Noir.

As a cheesemonger at Oliver's Market, Elizabeth spends her days helping people discover new flavors, stories, and traditions through cheese. With more than 15 years of experience in wellness and gourmet foods, she believes great cheese is both a science and an art.

Throughout the evening, Elizabeth will guide us through a curated selection of cheeses, sharing the history, craftsmanship, and flavor profiles behind each one as we explore them alongside Talisman w**es.

Unexpected Pinot Pairings | Part I

Mexican food.

We recently visited a local favorite to see what happens when Pinot Noir meets tacos, mole, and bold flavors.

The verdict?

Tacos: Absolutely.

Mole: Even better.

The bright acidity, layered fruit, and earthy notes of Pinot Noir paired beautifully with the spice, richness, and complexity of the dishes. A reminder that Pinot isn’t just for roast chicken and mushroom risotto.

Sometimes the most memorable pairings are the ones you never expected.

What unexpected dish would you pair with Pinot Noir?
