“I can’t help but conclude that Oregon is right now the single most exciting winemaking area in the United States,” writes @nytfood’s wine critic, @ericasimov. Part of what he loves about #Oregon, and the Willamette Valley in particular, is its small scale. Most #Willamette wineries are family operations, and the business of the valley is clearly agriculture, not tourism. Brian Marcy and Clare Carver, a husband-and-wife team, have operated a winery called Big Table Farm since they acquired 70 acres off a dirt road in the hills of the valley a decade ago. The barnlike winery, which they designed and built themselves, was financed partly by crowdfunding. 100 people gave $1,700 each, for which they received wine and a plaque in the winery. They have since stitched together a DIY operation: Brian, the winemaker, buys grapes from a network of 12 vineyards, all within an hour of the farm, and tends the vegetable crops. Clare, an accomplished artist, looks after the business, including drawing labels, wrapping bottles in paper by hand, marketing, entertaining visitors and raising animals. The Big Table menagerie includes 16 Irish Dexter cattle that are raised for beef, 2 American Guinea hogs, a couple of horses, 6 beehives, chickens, assorted dogs and cats, and an old goat who acts as a sort of mascot. @amandalucier captured scenes from Big Table Farm while on assignment for @nytfood; here, Levi the dog got some attention (and a glass of wine).
