 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.

Friday, July 11th, 5-7PM: A Blind Friday Flight
Take it from professionals who know, tasting wine blind is a lot more fun when there’s no expensive test to fail. Join us Friday evening on the 11th for a blind flight of six wines made from six well-known grape varieties grown around the world. Hints and answer key available on request. Whether you want to test your palate or simply have a surprisingly good time with some great wines, we’ve got the goods.
 
$30, no reservation required. 

Saturday, July 12th, 12-4PM: Newsletter selections from the Land
These six selections are all grown a long way from the ocean in continental climate zones. There might be a river nearby, but generally speaking, the summers are hot and the winters are cold because there are no oceans, seas, or even lakes anywhere nearby.

Friday, July 18th, 5-7PM: Txakoli
Here’s hoping it’s a hot day, because there’s no wine in the world better at chasing away the summertime heat than the Basque specialty Txakoli. Born from seaside vineyards along Spain’s north coast, these wines are a unique summertime treat. Whether these wines from San Sebastian and Bilbao – also known as Donostia and Bizkaia – are familiar or something new, we promise you’ll enjoy them.

Saturday, July 19th, 12-4PM: Chris Dickson of Twill Cellars
We’re pleased to welcome back winemaker, and long time friend of L &E, Chris Dickson of Twill Cellars with his latest batch of wines from the Willamette Valley. Chris’s wines are some of the best Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Syrah in town, and they come at some of the best prices too! Come by Saturday afternoon for a complimentary taste and stories from the vineyard.

Saturday, July 26th, 12-4PM: Sound & Vision at the Winemaker’s Barrel
Joe Chepolis and Carmen Nydegger didn’t expect to end up in southern Oregon making wine. It was a surprise to everyone involved that a bike racer and a film producer found themselves farming grapes in the Rogue Valley, and yet it seems to work. Working with a minimum of fuss in both the vineyard and the cellar, they make some extremely tasty wine from some unheralded varieties that certainly turned our heads. Saturday afternoon, Joe will be on hand with some very cool wines.

Wednesday, July 30th, 6PM: Sherry Seminar Part IV: Oloroso and Dessert
The last part of our four part series takes us from dinner’s second course all the way through dessert. Oloroso Sherry is often considered the finest grade. It ages longer and slower and can reach levels of richness, intensity, and complexity that few other dry wines can reach. We will also have a few examples of sweet Sherry. This category is very popular (especially in the UK), but it remains a confusing and complex subset. The difference between a Pale Cream Sherry and Pedro Ximenez is bigger than the difference between Fino and Oloroso. Come find your favorite among the deepest, darkest, nuttiest and sweetest Sherry has to offer.
