Wine Tasting – Oregon Favorites

We are excited to invite you to our next tasting event featuring five fantastic wines from Oregon! Join us on Tuesday, August 13 at 6 p.m. as our General Manager Travis Doyle showcases wines from some of his very favorite producers.

Oregon has been a leading wine producer since the 1960s. Its Willamette Valley sits at the same latitude as Burgundy in France and is known for turning out incredible Pinot Noir wines. At this event, we’ll have the opportunity to sample three fantastic Pinot Noirs, as well as Gamay Noir and a highly renowned Chardonnay.

This will be Travis’ last tasting event as our General Manager. He is joining the team at Vinspire, one of our local distributors, and will be heading up their operations. We are sad to see him go, but excited to continue working with him in this new capacity. And we’ll definitely invite him back to the shop to lead tasting events featuring Vinspire’s incredible portfolio.
