Friday Evening Tastings, 5 - 7pm

The first and third Friday evening of every month, we cook up something a little special with themed flights. The themes will vary along with the price, but we’ll always aim to make it interesting.

 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. 

Upcoming Tasting

Saturday, April 12th: Jure Poberaj at the Winemaker’s Barrel
Jure Poberaj was always going to get to wine eventually. Though he studied finance, and made a name for himself at White Salmon Bakery, he also picked up a degree in winemaking along the way, and with famous winemakers in his family, it was only a matter of time before he tried his hand at wine himself. He chose the Columbia Gorge for a number of reasons, but the vast untapped potential of the region was a big one. Jure is looking to expand the boundaries of what is possible in the gorge, one vintage at a time. Help us welcome him to L&E and sample his latest releases.

Friday, April 18th, 5-7PM: Chianti
There is a good reason that Chianti remains such an important part of the wine world. There’s nothing else quite like it. Far from the stereotypical, one-size-fits-all red it used to be, Chianti today comes in a range of styles today, from inky dark and powerfully structured, to the soaring bright and red fruity wines of the hilltops. We can’t taste every one, but we’ll have a representative sampling for our Friday night flight. 

Saturday, April 19th, 12-4PM: Newsletter selections from the hills
Some hills are rocky. Some hills roll gently into one another. Many hills around the world offer the perfect setting for vineyards, and produce delicious wines. We’re highlighting gravelly hills in France, marly hills in northern Italy, and foothills in Sicily.

Saturday, April 26th, 12-4PM: Newsletter selections on the Mountain
Mountainous vineyards are some of the most daunting vineyards in the world. They’re hard to farm, hard to tend, sometimes even hard to get to. The wines that come from these high elevation vines are worth it. These are wines with tension, energy, and complexity from Spain, France, and Slovenia.
