Episode Synopsis

Erik Kramer, head winemaker for Oregon's Willakenzie Estate, joins us today to tell us why his Estate Pinot Noir is the perfect pairing for a outdoor farm dinner!
The Pairing:
You've returned from the farmer's market with an incredible haul! Fresh carrots, tomatoes, local chicken, pork, salmon, & cheeses, and you've decided you want to have a "Farm Dinner" in your backyard. You need a wine that is versatile enough to hang with a myriad of foods. Enter Willakenzie Estate Pinot Noir. The acid, red fruits, and relatively low tannin count of this wine will pair beautifully with everything on your gigantic wooden table!

What Makes This Wine Special:

Family-owned, estate driven winery named after the dominant soil type, Willakenzie
The winery coined the moniker “Place Matters,” emphasizing their Burgundian (or.. Oreg-undian?) emphasis on terroir and soil
Geologist-turned-winemaker Erik Kramer’s mission is to deliver Pinot Noir and Chardonnays that represent the clarity and distinction of the estate
