CellarTracker! Big Table Farm Tasting the Current Portfolio

We tasted several wines with Kathryn and all of the wines showed well. Owners Brian Marcy and Clare Carver (does all the art work) have created one of the more environmentally friendly wine operation you will ever visit. I highly recommend a visit on your next trip to Willamette Valley.

The wine reviews:

• 2024 Big Table Farm Laughing Pig Rosé – USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley
