Upcoming Tasting

Saturday, October 10th, 12-4PM: The Winemaker's Barrel: Saul Mutchnik of Championship Bottle
Saul Mutchnik makes high fidelity wine in the Willamette Valley. Inspired variously by his favorite movie, favorite albums, and favorite wines from Italy's Friuli region, he makes stunning wines filled with personality, flavor, and verve, but without the pomp and circumstance. We will have his latest releases stacked all month and on Saturday the 10th he will be behind the counter with tales to spin and wines to pour.

Friday, October 16th, 5-7PM: Galicia
Galicia is Spain’s “Atlantic Northwest”, and wouldn’t you know it, it rains a lot there. This region is often called Green Spain, a far cry from the arid highlands of central and Mediterranean Spain, and the wines of Galicia are very different in character. From the salt-crusted Albarinos of the coast to the canyonside Mencia of Ribera Sacra and Valdeorras or the wildly diverse wines of Ribeiro and Monterrei, there’s just a lot going on here. Some of Spain’s most talented winemakers call Galicia home, and they make some of Spain’s most exciting wine. Join us Friday evening for a taste.

Saturday, October 31st: 1-4PM: Ron Leidigh with J.L. Chave Selections
Ron Leidigh from Handcrafted Wines here in Portland will be on hand pouring the exemplary wines from J.L. Chave Selections. Jean-Louis Chave Sélections is an accessible, value-driven wine label launched in 1995 by legendary Northern Rhône winemaker Jean-Louis Chave. Started as a négociant project using fruit sourced from trusted, organically-minded growers, over time, as Chave replanted and acquired historic hillside parcels, many selections now incorporate or consist entirely of estate-grown fruit. He utilizes the same meticulous, parcel-by-parcel approach, native fermentations, and restrained oak aging as the benchmark estate wines.
