Staff Pick Notes

Pinot Gris has slowly become more popular worldwide and has laid down roots in Oregon. The Willamette Valley is an ideal place for such a varietal. The high elevation, light rain, and gentle sun rear this versatile grape into a fresh citrus driven glass of vino. I’m particularly fond of it because it’s a great example of a kitchen term “mise en place,” otherwise known as “everything in its place.” The palate is an even spread of citrus and stone fruit with minerality that doesn’t fade into the background. There is enough acidity to whet your palate or bind with seafood. Overall, it makes for a well-rounded bottle of wine. No more, no less, everything in its place.

There is an entire spectrum of Pinot Gris/Grigio, however, the best of them being subtly aromatic and deeply colored, with formidable structures. Most of Italy's Pinot Grigio is grown in...

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...
