Our last Food & Wine Series of the year is almost here! Join us this Thursday as Ryan, the winner of our last Series competition, takes on Robert - both will present their choices of Brengman wines to pair with an impressive three-course meal from Chef Seth. This five-star meal will start with a savory maritime seafood chowder teeming with scallops, clams, and tender clumps of crab and served with fresh-baked cornbread, followed by duck breast from Culver Duck Farm with a blackberry gastrique and celery root puree. The meal will finish with a dessert of lemon almond cake with lemon buttercream frosting. This event is not to be missed! Tickets are available on our website.

It’s time to tip our hat to our personal Energizer Bunny, Ryan Tompke. Ryan is a core member of the cellar team, which includes Robert as the other half. Ryan just spent the last four months without a break, handling this year’s harvest that could become known as the “Vintage of the Century!” That is correct! If you’re a local and recall the amazing summer and fall weather season that we just finished, you know that it was a year that provided abundant sunshine and perfect temps. As a wine grower and maker, that type of weather provides perfect chemistry for the grapes. Ryan is on his fourth vintage here at BFW, and his experience with past vintages puts his skills into the perfect position to create greatness. We feel super good about the 2024 wines and have to say a BIG thank you to Ryan for being a key contributor to our goal of creating perfection!

It was a full house at our most recent Food & Wine event, with Chef Seth’s food presentation receiving five stars from our guests. Each course was paired with two wines that were picked by our mystery wine experts, and after the first two courses, two wines were nearly tied. It came down to the dessert course, with Ryan’s pairing of Riesling Auslese receiving higher scores than the Viva Magenta chosen by Ed. The overall winner and returning champion is Ryan! Ryan will be going up against Robert in the next Series, scheduled for Thursday, Dec 12. The menu and reservations are available on our website. Don’t miss the last Food & Wine event of the year!

Exciting news from the Brengman Crain Hill Vineyards front. We will be harvesting Gewurztraminer this week, which is now a crazy, candy-sweet grape that will become our Sélections de Grains Nobles style dessert wine. Their intense, complex aromas, powerful structure and long finish on the palate make such wines true masterpieces of the viticultural art. The first and last time we created this rare style of wine was from the 2016 vintage.

We are also planning to make a Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese, translated as “dry berry select picking” and designating a late-harvest, Botrytis picking, where the berries have started to shrivel on the vine, concentrating the sugars. We may be the only winery this side of the Atlantic Ocean able to make these wines this vintage, which is a testament to the great weather season of 2024.

Join us from 1:00-7:00 this Friday and Saturday for our Oyster Socials! It’s the best time of year for those who love oysters.
