Cook with wine - Noiret Pork Roast with Northern Lights Ratatouille
September 07, 2014 17:51“I love to cook with wine, sometimes I add it to the food.” This quote is often attributed to WC Fields. But I really think I thought of it myself before I ever heard it. Anyway, it is so true. I love to cook with wine. I love to sip wine while I cook. I love to add wine to my dishes. The other thing I love is all the fresh vegetables that are available this time of year. Oh, and one more thing I love – Flying Otter Winery Noiret. I often tell people when we offer tastings of Noiret that I wi...

Starboard
January 31, 2012 15:41We are pleased to announce that our Starboard dessert wine is now available at the Flying Otter Winery. Maybe we aren't supposed to have favorites, but I have to admit this wine has a special place in our hearts. It's only right that it should make it's appearance for Valentine's Day. Starboard is a dessert wine made in the style of traditional dessert wines of Portugal, which are called Port. For many years wines in this style made around the world were often called port, but in 2006 the...
Our Grand Opening
November 30, 2011 14:30Last Saturday we had our Grand Opening Event, and it was everything we hoped for and more. So many good people came out to try our wines. We saw some old friends and met some new ones. It is so gratifying, after spending so long planting and growing grapes, building a winery, and making the wines, to find that people really do like our wines. I mean, WE always knew we knew what we were doing, but validation is GOLD. I especially want to thank Erika Aylward, Tim Monger, Lauren Utter ...

Food and Wine Pairing 101
June 21, 2011 15:58Here at the Flying Otter Vineyard and Winery we are all about food and wine pairing. Our mantra is "Wine is sunshine in a bottle, meant to be enjoyed with family and friends, food and music". So let's talk a little about enjoying wine with food.

I'll admit that boxed white zinfandel in the fridge is how I first started drinking wine with meals. It's a style that's more appro...
