Wine Type: Older Vintages
Voluptuous, ripe. Coquettish. Vibrant, playful, warm. Honest, mysterious.
Rich chocolate, dark berries, fragrant new cherries and sinfully creamy texture.
How delicious will this be!?
With duck pate. With fresh figs and goat cheese mousse.
Wait, another idea – let’s invite friends for fondue!
How delicious. Did I say that already?
You’ll love it – bottle and soul.

Hey, can you guys tell me how to get BIG FIRE in Kentucky or is it even available this far east?
Many thanks.
Mac
Hi Mac
Thanks for asking. Yes, our Big Fire wines are available in Kentucky. I don’t know the names of the specific retailers, but I do know that our distributor there is called Vintner Select. If you go to your favorite wine retail shop and ask them about Big Fire by R. Stuart & Co., tell them that we’re distributed by Vintner Select, they should be willing to bring some in for you.
Please let us know how that works for you. You can email me directly at maria@rstuartandco.com.
Thanks again!

My husband and I were thinking about a summer trip to Napa, but after trying this wine for the first time, we might have to visit Oregon instead! My favorite pinot noir by far!
Hi Amy
thanks so much for your note! I only just now saw this. If you’re coming to Oregon, please stop in an see us. We’d love to meet you!
Cheers!
