Dear Feastlings, Once they’ve made it through crush, winemakers can take a little breather. In November, there’s weeding and vine-trimming, but the winemaker can get out and head for warmer climes for a little handshaking and baby-kissing, and as luck would have it, Todd Graff, who’s been making wine for Frank Family Vineyards since day […]
Hi, Feastlings. When you mention Spain and wine, people seem to default to Rioja, and Rioja, without a doubt, has earned no small amount of street cred in the wine world. That said, what better educational experience than to taste a Rioja alongside wines that hail from some of the dozens of other appellations in […]
Hello, Feastlings. Rather than write an intro to this month’s Last Sunday wine tasting, I’ll paste this from the OregonLive.com website: “In the early 2000s, Oregon wine country’s brightest rising star was Jimi Brooks, a restless world traveler with a magnetic personality, a large group of close friends and a weakness for Moto Guzzi motorcycles, Unimog lorries and […]
Hello, Feastlings. I’m not sure how many years in a row Kevin has worn the Jack-o-lantern-styled Halloween hat he got at the dollar store, but if I were pressed to make an educated guess, I’d figure he’s down to about 12 or 13¢ a wearing by now, if only because of the tenacity he’s demonstrated […]

These wines are truly made in the vineyard, and you’ll discover how and why, and how it makes a difference in the glass. […]
Dear Feastlings, Every year, when I taste a new vintage of wines from our Arizona neighbors, I find myself a little prouder. With each advancing vintage, our growers and winemakers make a little progress in understanding the microclimates of Arizona, discovering which varietals hold up to the intricacies of Southern Arizona climate, and each year, […]
Dear Feastlings, Every appellation has characteristics that it imparts to wines, and those of us who taste a lot of wine eventually get the hang of identifying those characteristics, but a number of us are more likely to have a glass of wine with dinner, or if we’re with friends, maybe get a taste of […]
Dear Feastlings, While there may be a bitter rivalry between the North and the South in Italy (as with many other places,) we at Feast believe that everyone has something special to offer. So while we’ve done Sicilian and Southern tastings in the past, we also like to acknowledge what the North brings to the […]
Hello, Feastlings. While there is undeniably art and craft in making wine from a single varietal- some might argue more so even than in making a blend- I’d argue that blending, while it still allows for an expression of the fruit as well as the place it’s grown, also allows for more of an expression […]
