First and foremost we hope you are all well and finding joy and hope in the spring days.
Brian and I are taking this moment to breath and just enjoy the things we may have taken for granted a few years ago. All of us here at big table farm hope our wines bring you joy. It's just that simple.
To that end we bring you rosé!
Our Laughing Pig Rosé release is an annual marker in time for us, a mid spring ritual that promises the warmth of summer - despite the crazy snow storm last night here at the farm.
Thank you if you have already bought our spring release wines, and for continuing to share them at your table. We are grateful to feel so connected to you all! Please keep reaching out via email, phone and social media. The 2021 Laughing Pig is delicious. This beautiful dry rosé has high toned strawberry and cherry that is balanced with a richness on the palette. My full tasting notes are on our web site.
As those who read Brian's Spring Letter, you’ll know that given the challenges of the 2020 vintage we made just one pinot noir and one chardonnay. So therefore sadly, while Earth and Queen are typically allocated when the rosé goes out, the pig is trotting out solo this year. I will say this is our first 2021 vintage release, and Brian and I are pretty over the moon with this wine.
Speaking of things being 'different' or limited - The bottle on our rosé this year is a different shape. This is a temporary change and next year we hope to go back to the hock glass shape - but like so many things our glass supplier had supply chain issues, and we had to make this change. I am happy to report, we did manage to get the magnums in the old shape. There are so many people that are part of our business that we never talk about, but Brian and I wanted to take this moment to thank Scott at Rose City Label, Emily Johnson and Ben at Pioneer Packaging and Shawn at Rich Xiberta for our labels, glass, boxes and corks. We are super appreciative of the extra work our long time partners have done due to the global supply chain issues. These guys are behind the scenes, supporting our business since the beginning.
We hope that you will find something in our Spring Release that fits your table and budget. We are still offering limited amounts of library wines – if this is of interest to you, please email Anna at bigtablefarm.com and she will send you the list of what is available. We do still have a few 19’s left, but they are going fast!
We will continue to try our best to see each day as an opportunity to make art and enjoy life. Thank you so much for buying, drinking and sharing our wines. We are humbled and honored to be part of your daily meals and celebrations alike.
Cheers - Clare and Brian
