Seeking Beauty at Antica Terra Since 2005, winemaker Maggie Harrison has nurtured 11 acres of land in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, turning it into a vineyard that today makes some of America’s most rarefied and desirable wines. Harrison’s route here was meandering and unconventional. As a graduate, instinct stopped Harrison from accepting a prestigious job in Atlanta, Georgia, and while she thought about what to do next, she worked in restaurants back in Chicago – a period in which she tasted wine voraciously. Through the literal grapevine, Harrison heard that an irreverent Austrian winemaker in California, Manfred Krankl, was looking for an assistant at his winery Sine Qua Non. With no training or preconceived ideas about wine beyond trust in her own good taste, she got the job. “The most comforting thing about making wine is that I don’t have to know anything,” says Harrison, “I just have to be willing to be authentic and rigorous in the work.” That she was, viticulturally-speaking, a blank canvas was (and remains) a strength, she says, before proudly stating that she didn’t visit another vineyard until age 45. “In art,” she tells me, “you don’t need the theory to make something beautiful.” Read more about Maggie’s work at Antica Terra on the #TOASTmagazine via the link in bio.

Time to Make · Block Printing With Hattie Eavis For TOAST, designer Hattie Eavis has shared techniques for making three unique designs using our Hand Carved Block Printing Kits: a lampshade, tablecloth, and wall mural. Our block-printing kit consists of three wooden printing blocks accompanied by a drawstring bag, making use of block printed cotton fabric left over from past TOAST collections. Featuring an abstract star, a tree and winter scene, the blocks are hand-carved with great skill and accuracy in Jaipur, by the artisans who create block-printed fabrics for our collections.

Time to Make · The Seasonal Supper Club Lucy Rose Turnbull and Emma Cantlay founded The Seasonal Supper Club to host communal gatherings over home-cooked meals, with menus prepared in line with the season's best produce. The duo, based in London, relish the turning of the year. As the nights draw in, it is a time to light candles, harvest mellow produce, and bring together loved ones around the table. Hosting does not have to be about extravagance, they note, rather impactful simplicity. This, then, is the perfect time to make their spiced pear spritz. “Pears are abundant this time of year and of course it wouldn’t be the festive period without a generous serving of spices,” they say. Vermouth makes a perfect pairing for the delicate, aromatic pear in the cocktail. “It is a light and refreshing cocktail, especially great when festive menus can be quite heavy.” Read more about The Seasonal Supper Club’s spiced pear spritz on the #TOASTmagazine via the link in bio.
