Domino Day Pig Roast Dates for 2026: Feb 22, Mar 15
About that peasant stew… everyone has a family recipe. This one is Barbara Lecuona’s from her mom Jean. There are many family debates about whether it should be boneless or whole chicken pieces, dumplings or potatoes (both please!). But there is no debate from me that this became an instant classic hall of fame favorite dish. Simple, layered, toasty, and unmistakably earthily spiced. To watch it as it is assembled is culinary torture — I wish you could sit inside this aromatic pot of winter goodness.
Having succeeded at pairing a similarly ethnically relevant and historic dish — Mole — I am gonna pull the 2024 Mourvedre for this one too.
I could get used to this winter diet! For another 48 hours!
CALENDAR CHANGE ALERT! Single digits and the prospect of ice across the travel regions this weekend, from DFW to Houston and through the hill country have prompted us to reschedule Sundays wine pickup event.
After confirming with the caterer about the fire-tossed Jambalaya, the guitarist about the playlists, Kappy about the Mole+Mourvèdre and Tempranillo-bravas pairings, and Barbara about the barrel futures for her stunning new Petite Sirah, we are confirmed to reset and rebuild the entire plan and host it on Sunday February 1 at 1pm.
All Member reservations are valid and we will see you February 1. JUST YOU WAIT!
Britt and Doug are visiting. @ourlordandsaber did the work on the Cremant. @besiboney pulled a 2019 Stormbreaker and we had a moment to recognize the accomplishment of this wonderful Merlot that she built and worked so diligently to create. The finishing tastes include a beautiful @blandysmadeirawine, Maynard Port, and a gorgeous Napoleon Cognac. The last three all gifts. Gifts to share. Which is exactly the point.
64 is already off to a great start thanks to all of you. Abrazos!
The Christmas spirit of generosity, friendship, blessings and amazing weather. You hold bottles for decades just to share with people you love, contributing to an unbelievable culinary table and wine pull… with magnums. Some of these are one time only. 2025 had many challenges. This was a day to set those aside and express love, faith and share time. #78636
Bottling day as the wine team and volunteer crew build a long train of pallets in the cellar! This team can build about a pallet per hour fully labeled on our modified line.
Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and for the first time in many years, a 100% Tempranillo will hit the tasting room in 2026. Just you wait!
