Staff Pick Notes

When going to a bar or meeting new people the categorical question that always comes up : "What do you do for a living" when answered is closely followed by 1 of 2 questions: "What is your favorite wine?" or "Do you know (_random wine here_)? It's my favorite!" To the first follow up my answer is always Trousseau. As I say the grapes name, memories of granite dusted red fruit dance through my head. Thoughts of smashes electric raspberries, red cherries the size of basketballs hanging off a brilliantly healthy trees as the sun rains down. The Eyrie Vineyards, Trousseau is nothing short of what I dream of. It's bright and elegant, light in body, the perfect accompaniment to an array of foods. But I'd pick Montadella, Goat Bri & July at 7pm sitting on the tile floor with the windows open.

Glossary

Willamette Valley

Perhaps the most familiar wine producing region in Oregon, the Willamette Valley is actually a group of distinct AVA's (American Viticultural Areas).

Dundee Hills

Located just to the southeast of Yamhill-Carlton, the Dundee Hills offer an ideal microclimate for the cultivation of Pinot Noir. Home to a slew of wineries that helped put Oregon firmly on the map as a great Pinot-producing region of the world, the area is relatively dry and offers a near-perfect balance of warm days and cool nights. In addition to this fabulous weather, the area boasts textbook-perfect soils and superb drainage on the rolling hills, yielding sublimely mineral, rich, and round...

Oregon

The largest wine region in Oregon is the Willamette Valley, lying between the cities of Portland and Eugene and home to most of Oregon’s wineries. As it does not have one homogeneous climate, it has been broken up into several different AVAs. In the best of them, the perfect amounts of wind, rain, sun exposure, and altitude combine to give Pinot Noir the warm days and cool nights it needs in order to thrive. Combine that with good drainage and poor soils, and you’ve got the perfect environment...
