Thanksgiving 2009 - Fried Turkey and Wine Tasting



I'm always surprised at how many people haven't tried a fried turkey. We started cooking them that way a couple of years ago and we wouldn't ever think of putting one in the oven any more. You can cook a 14-15 pound turkey in about 50 minutes and it comes out moist - what's not to like about that? So here's a picture of the turkey frying and the end product. Looks very tempting even with the bad lighting. We had a very nice 1999 Belle Pente Murto Vineyard Pinot Noir with it.

Day after Thanksgiving we were pouring wine at ADEA Wine Company with four other wineries. $15 tasting fee = 20+ open Pinot Noirs. This is one of the best values and most laid back places to try wine in Willamette Valley. Come see us sometime. Next big open house will be Memorial Day Weekend but we can make ourselves available on most weekends if you call to set up a time. One note - the 2007s are starting to come together - major improvement over how they were showing at the '08 Memorial Day tasting.
