Over Memorial Day weekend my friend, Lisa, flew in for a visit from California. It had been a year and a half since we last saw each other so we had a lot of catching up to do (conversation and wine that is). Like always, she was glad to help me do some research in the industry. Friday and Saturday we became local tourists in Willamette Valley. We tasted a wide assortment of wines from Oregon and even Washington! But most of the wines we tasted were Pinot Noir. We spoke with owners and winemakers and tasting room staff to learn more about the vintages and vineyard sites.
Wineries we visited included Archery Summit, Erath Winery, Canas Feast, Tyrus Evan, Cleo's Hill Wines and two smaller producers whose name I cannot recall.
We also visited the new and still under construction Press Wine Bar during its Memorial Day Weekend open house. I interviewed here for a part-time job last week and hope to get hired. Four boutique wineries: de Lancellotti Family Vineyards, Arterberry Maresh, Crowley Wines and Merriman Wines were pouring their wines. All of these wines were amazing and I highly recommend them all. There will also be a restaurant Farm to Fork and luxury boutique hotel on site.
This is a picture of Lisa at Archery Summit Winery in Dundee Hills. We were the first ones to arrive at 10:00 AM.
