West Ridge Yamhill Carlton AVA Tasting
Neighboring vineyard owners and their winemakers showcased their wines with “A Taste of Place”, a tasting event this month in the rolling hills west of Carlton, Oregon. Hosted in the barn at Carlton Hill Vineyard, winemakers poured Pinot noir and Chardonnay from four nearly contiguous vineyards in a seven vineyard area they refer to as the “West Ridge” of the Yamhill-Carlton AVA.

Plus the release of my new “higher-end” bottlings with new packaging!
The 2016 vintage rivals 2012 for the Goldilocks factor as not only are the wines big, balanced and beautiful, but they are also cellar-worthy. I highly recommend buying in larger than normal quantities.
Come to my dinner, experience all of the wines with a perfect wine-paired dinner by The Painted Lady Restaurant, and purchase in multiple case quantities for drinking currently as well as for your cellar.
Meet at the new winery for bites of perfectly portioned plates of farm to table and fishery to table cuisine from The Painted Lady while enjoying a few of my new wines while the sun sets. Then we will progress up to the house for a multi-course meal paired with the “high-end” wines.
This will be fun. Bring a checkbook and an empty trunk!
