Jordan Estate Tales - Volume 11, 2016 - 35

"In 1976, the Jordans hired a French chef, Henri Charvet of Aix-en-Provence, to
come cook at the winery during our inaugural harvest. Those of us in the cellar
had no idea because we had just begun picking the first fruit of the new vintage.
I remember pumping over a tank and seeing some guy with a white chef's
toque stroll into the fermentation room with a silver platter of pork terrine in his
hands. He gingerly stepped over all the hoses and pumps before placing the
platter on the fermentation pad in front of the crew. We stopped our pumps
and ate the terrine like it was our last supper. But, it would take a few more years
before the French celebration of harvest lunch became a tradition at Jordan.
I traveled to Bordeaux, and winemaker Jean-Claude Berrouet of Chateau Petrus
invited me to lunch. When I walked into the courtyard to find a table covered
with family-style dishes and open bottles of wine, I told Petrus owner Christian
Moueix I was honored that he had assembled a party for me. He replied,
'We do this every day during harvest.' I couldn't wait to return and plant that
seed with Tom Jordan. Three decades later, Jordan harvest lunches remain one
of our favorite celebrations coinciding with Mother Nature's biggest party of
the year-crush."
