Uncorked!
Monday | 23 November 2009
Many thanks to all who came out for Uncorked! Most told me that yesterday’s Uncorked was exceptional. First, it was a perfect fall day in Oregon: warm and sunny in the morning, the threat of rain in the afternoon felt like fall, and then at twilight the wind felt like WINTER!What’s not to love about the weather in Southern Oregon? Second, many folks told me they were visiting the many new and different wineries who participated yesterday. Of course, most have their favorites whom they visit with each outing, but this year there was something for every taste.
We were especially pleased to meet Tim Mock and Sandra Shizury who will now be serving the Spiral 36 in their Grants Pass restaurant, Aja. At Cowhorn, we were serving our 2008 Spiral 36, paired with a winter squash pizza. The squash was grown by Cowhorn, and the pizza was prepared by New Sammy’s Cowboy Bistro.
We worked out an excellent arrangement whereby we did some fall garden cleanup at New Sammy’s and Charlene made the pizza. How great is that? Next, we served our 2007 Syrah with Organic Peruvian dark chocolate chips from Dagoba. The winery was festive with touches of the fall harvest and the oncoming holiday season. To boot, everyone who came took home some winter squash for their table!
From all of us at Cowhorn, thank you to all of you who support us by participating in Uncorked!
