Here's a look at the menu for the Farmstead Wines tasting that took place on September 9th. If you are not familiar with Farmstead Wines, you should have a look at their great website
The wines that have the Farmstead seal are not only delicious, but also hand-made by families who grow the grapes naturally. No irrigation, no chemicals -- wine as it should be.
3 winemakers were celebrated that night:

MARC TEMPE, farmer and winemaker at the Domaine de Courbissac in Cesseras, France. His Pinot Gris Zellenburg 2003 was a smashing success with the lucky guests.

CLAUS PREISINGER, the 'farmer in Diesel jeans' from Gols, Australia. The Claus Preisinger Basic 2007 worked wonders with the cheese selection.

GIAN PERRO MARRONE, family man, owner and winemaker at Agricola Marrone in La Morra, Italy. We are still dreaming of his Langhe Rosso Sancarlo 2001.

On your next visit to the wine store, keep your eyes peeled for the Farmstead seal!
