“PINOT IN THE PEARL” Chehalem Mountains Winegrowers Bring Over 100 Wines
Chehalem Mountains, Ore. - March 1st, 2010- Wineries large and small from the acclaimed Chehalem Mountains and Ribbon Ridge AVAs will bring their wines “en masse” to Portland for the first time on Thursday, May 6, 5:00 – 9:00 p.m. at Venue Pearl, located at 13th and Flanders.
“We are excited to partner with the Pearl District Association’s First Thursday Art Walk tradition as well as many great restaurants,” says event chair, Barbara Gross of Cooper Mountain winery. “It’s hard to imagine a better way to introduce our winemakers and our wines!”
Winery principals and winemakers will share benchmark Pinot noirs, as well as Chardonnays, Pinot Gris, Syrah and Riesling among other memorable wines, all possible because of the diverse soil types, climates and terrain that cover the wine growing region’s mountains and hillsides. “We pride ourselves in the fact that the Chehalem Mountains and Ribbon Ridge produce expressive wines for every palate and cuisine,” says Gross. “No one will be disappointed.”
Participating restaurants include The Painted Lady (Newberg), Zagat’s top rated Oregon Restaurant, and CMW Associate Member, The Heathman Restaurant, 50-plates, Aquariva Italian Grill, Sweet Masterpiece Chocolates and others to be announced shortly.
