Ashley and Smith--J W Sieg Wines

Thanksgiving Dinner.....The menu is complete.

....but.....
Do you have your wine?

  

Smith and Ashley Williams are the faces behind JW SIEG Wines. 

  Their passion for wine is so apparent in talking with them about the various wines they distribute, the vineyards behind the wines and the various tastes and locations of the wines and vineyards.  

Smith and Ashley have traveled around the world sourcing amazing wines to distribute in Virginia. 
 Lucky us!

We need to support their passion.

My Question...
 How does one support a local wine distributor that is only allowed to sell to retail outlets?
 
1.  Buy local wine
2.  Go to a local wine retailer (my favorites are Market Street Winery and Tastings) and request the wines that are distributed locally/via JWSieg Wines
3.  While at a local restaurant with friends, ask to see the locally distributed wine list....or even better order a local wine. 

Here are my suggestions for your Thanksgiving Wines 
(I had some help with my picks:)
Distributed locally through, JWSieg Wines, and can be purchased at Tastings. 

  

Le Cadeau côte est Pinot Noir 2007
New York Times #1 "Top Oregon Pinot noirs" 9-2-09 

and

Sighardt Donabaum Grüner Veltliner  2006
100% Grüner Veltliner

We enjoyed the 2 bottles at the Cunningham's....(practice) Thanksgiving. 
All agreed...both come highly recommended.

 
 

 
 
 Love it!  
Sending out thanks for friends and family and all those who make Charlottesville such a wonderful place to live.

Happy Thanksgiving.

The Organic Butcher

Cold Rainy Days
 Chicken Soup to the Rescue

 
 

Last night I threw (2) Organic Butcher Seasoned Chicken Breasts in a pot with an onion, a few carrots, celery, chicken stock, noodles...and of course....tobasco.

 DONE!

 Murdoch tells me that it was THE BEST Chicken Soup I have ever made.  
  
THE KEY INGREDIENT:

 The Rosemary Seasoned Chicken Breasts
 from
THE ORGANIC BUTCHER
(this will make your soup taste like it has been simmering in herbs all day)


I cooked the soup in the Le Creuset pot from The Seasonal Cook
