This month, we’ve juxtaposed two wines that also respectfully agree to disagree…
This month, for Just A Taste’s Jefferson Club, we take a look at an historic producer creating a modern wine with Barone Ricasoli’s “Casalferro” 2015.
In July of 2019, I had the opportunity to visit the biodynamic producer Domaine de la Chevalerie in Bourgueil, Loire Valley, France. It is run by the Caslot family whom has owned the estate since 1640. Today, the vineyards are tended by Emmanuel Caslot and winery operations are executed by his sister, Stefanie.
This month, for Just A Taste’s Dram Club, I am excited to feature Douglas Laing’s Old Particular “Mortlach 11 year.”
As we move into fall, I find myself steering away from highballs or cocktails towards straight drams of spicy, smoky whiskey. Whether it is Scotch, Bourbon, or any other spirit, I enjoy accentuated notes of fire-charred oak. So, when selecting a new pour for the Duke Club, I first thought was to return to straight bourbon.
As we move into the final month of Summer, I gravitate back away from crisp white wines to fresh, lighter reds, and there is one wine which perfectly captures the diversity of this transitional season: Pinot Noir. This month, for Just A Taste’s Jefferson Club, I am excited to feature Nicolas-Jay Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2015.
What does Washington’s Columbia Valley have in common with Southern France’s Languedoc? Absolutely nothing!

This month, for Just A Taste’s Jefferson Club, I am excited to feature Chateau Palmer’s “Alter Ego de Palmer” 2015 Bordeaux rouge from Margaux.
