Thanksgiving wine pairings...
You probably know which wines will show up on the Thanksgiving table — those tried and true pinot noirs and rieslings that play nice with turkey and all the trimmings. But what will you drink with the pies that come after?

“Dessert still gets the short shrift,” Adrian Hunt Porter Valley winemaker tells The Post. “It’s the one area where imbibers still feel a sticky sort of shyness.”

Pecan Pie, try a Cognac It will make you pause and appreciate the winter spices and nuts in the pie.

Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin calls for a wine that can stand up to its all-around spicy earthiness. Sure, a Muscat would work, but be daring and try a nice Zinfandel!

Proud to be Porter Valley's first pesticide free vineyard.

We have stopped the use of DDT and now rely on several Canine Pest Spotters. These furry friends run up and down the vineyard sniffing out the pesky Glassy Winged Sharpshooter, and other pests. Once they spot an offending bu**er, the dogs alert keepers by standing on their hind legs and dancing in a circle. Quite a site to see.
Here are 3 of our esteemed Canine Pest Patrollers; Manny, Moe, and Jack

Nice to have recognition in Wine Spectator!

Small business: I'll drink to that. Rhonda Abrams on the best wine under $25

Here’s a dilemma most wine drinkers face: You want to buy a good bottle of wine, but you don’t want to spend a fortune.

And, if you’re like me, you’d like to help support a fellow small business owner, choosing a pleasurable wine from a small winery at an affordable price. How do you figure out which one to buy from all those on your local liquor store’s shelves?

The judges of the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition have suggestions to solve our dilemma. Since it claims to be the largest competition for American wines, with 63 judges spending more than four days rating more than 7,000 entries from 28 states, and with one of the only wine competitions with categories specifically for lower- and moderately-priced wines, it can reasonably be stated that they have named the “best wine in America” under $25.

“Winning puts me on the map. It gives me credibility,” said Adrian Hunt, whose Porter Valley Wines 2016 Cabernet Savignon won the Red Sweepstakes award, making it the Top Wine under $25.
