 Special Sit-Down Tastings, 6 - 8pm

When the opportunity arises to do a deep dive on a particular region, style, or producer, we will host a special guest speaker for a formal sit-down educational tasting. These are ticketed tastings and will be announced as they are planned.

Tuesday, March 18th, 5-7PM: Marianna Annio of Pietraventosa 
We’re excited to welcome Marianna Annio from her vineyards at Pietraventosa, an estate on the windswept highlands of central Puglia, as we don’t often get to meet winemakers from the heel. It’s a part of Italy whose wine is only vaguely understood, even by people in the wine industry. We will be tasting their unusual and energetic renditions of Primitivo, Aglianico, and more.             
No reservations required. $10 glass fee, refundable with purchase

Friday, March 21st: Italy in Oregon, Italian Varieties in Oregon Vineyards
There was a time, not so very long ago, when grapes native to Italy were far more familiar to the average American than those fancy French grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Successive waves of Italian immigrants brought their vines from home and planted Sangiovese, Friulano, Nebbiolo, Pinot Grigio, and all sorts of other grapes that defined the first age of American viticulture. It wasn’t really until the 1950s when savvy French wineries and a few people from some place called Napa ensured that the American wine palate would look definitively to France. Today, there are a growing number of winemakers in the Pacific Northwest taking a second look at those old Italian varieties, and the results are pretty compelling.

Saturday, March 22nd, Herb & Spice Newsletter Selections
Four Newsletter selections that reach into the spice cabinet.

Contini Cannonau di Sardegna Tonaghe
Chiussuma Erbaluce di Caluso Pajarin

Il Vescovado Chianti 

Tuesday, March 25th, 5-7PM: Women in Wine Day Celebration
Winemaking has long been a male-dominated profession, with female winemakers few and far between, and often unrecognized even where they have existed. Happily, this is something that is changing now across all the winemaking regions of the world, and we can’t think of a single one that isn’t better today because of the talented women running the vineyards and cellars. Join us to celebrate Women in Wine Day on March 25th, when we’ll feature a couple of local women winemakers whose wines are some of the best in the region. $10 glass fee, refundable with purchase

Featured winemakers

Julia Bailey of Loop de Loop
Cristina Gonzales of Gonzales Wine Co.
Bethany Kimmel of The Color Collector
Jess Miller of Little Crow Vineyards

Wednesday, March 26th: Fino Sherry Seminar
For our second Sherry seminar, we're taking a closer look at Fino and Manzanilla Sherry. This is the light and crisp side of the spectrum and often considered the "simplest" sort of Sherry, intended for fresh tapas, seafood, and sunshine. We will talk in depth about the iconic flor yeast that defines the style and flavor of fino, and taste everything from the standard, easy drinking Fino all the way to the premium Finos that are redefining what these sorts of wine are capable of.
This is a seated tasting, reservations required. Book a seat here
