Big Table Farm

My Man gave me a surprise last night. Six bottles of Big Table Farm wine. My Man and I were introduced to the wine when we went out to dinner a few weeks ago at Empire State South. Big Table Farm is run by a husband and wife team, Brian Marcy and Clare Carver, (I think they are married) and they look like such cool people. I really want to hang out with them on their farm. I love the farm, their chickens (of course), pigs, cows, etc. My Man ended up e-mailing and then talking to Tiffany and ordered one of each of their wines. In fact, one was no longer available on the website and they found one for us! Thanks Tiffany! She checked out My Hotel Yorba blog and also has a cat that squeaks like Simon!

Clare Carver draws and paints all the labels for the wine bottles. I love her paintings of her chickens! How cool would it be for her to paint portraits of The Girls?!?

Our Labels

The labels on our wines are made by hand using a letterpress and thick printmaking paper and then hand cut. You will notice the labels are much thicker and have a wonderful texture due to the printing process used. We then hand apply each lable. These Labels are also more fragile than most so each bottle is then carefully wrapped in tissue. While very labor-intensive, this makes for an elegant package that not only befits its contents but also produces less waste than traditional label printing. The art is drawn by Clare and are inspired by our life here at Big Table Farm often featuring a food product or animal from the farm. You can count on the label art being as unique as each vintage of wine.—From Big Table Farm website.

  2. Shay – Thank you for this beautiful post!! It fun to read on this cold winter night in Oregon! – Brian is indeed my husband and our superstar winemaker – and he’s making me dinner right now as I type to you! : ) I think we both got a+ in the husband department. Brian and I will actually be coming to Atlanta in march for the High Museum wine auction do you two attend that? It would be so fun to meet you in person if you go to that event? — regardless thank you for bringing our wine to your table!! love your blog! Cheers! Clare

    • Clare- My Man and I have heard of the Wine Auction at the High Museum but have never had the opportunity to attend. We will have to look into it. I hope the weather warms up for you soon. It was in the low 70’s here in the ATL but has dropped to the 50’s. I am fine with the tempature but would love to see the sun sometime soon! Have a wonderful week!–Shay
