Share & Pair - March 27-30 Featuring SuperGlou

"Share & Pair Sundays" is a campaign encouraging people to gather on Sundays to enjoy wine, food, and friends. At Portland Wine Company, we’re proud to participate in this initiative by pairing wine, food, and some of our favorite things to do in our beautiful city! 

Come in Thursday-Sunday from March 23 - May 25 to enjoy a ½ glass of our featured wine and a snack for just $12. We’ll also have weekly food specials. In the spirit of “Share & Pair,” bring a friend or two (or three!).

Share & Pair for Thursday, March 27 - Sunday, March 30

The Wine: 2023 SuperGlou

SUPERGLOU, our newest “glou glou” (means chuggable in French). Made for ultimate sipping pleasure, this juicy and vibrant wine is a mix of Trousseau, Gamay Noir, Dolcetto, and Pinot Gris. Think bright, fresh, and totally irresistible—a party in a glass!

Paired Snack: Calabrese Salami

Rich, spice-infused salumi creates the perfect counterpoint to our bright, fruit-forward, eminently chuggable chilled red.

Winery Bar Food Special: Pão de Queijo (Brazilian Cheese Breads)

These small, puffy cheese breads perfectly complement the refreshing nature of our 2023 SuperGlou. Pão de Queijo offer a delightful contrast of textures—crisp exterior giving way to a chewy, elastic center—and the subtle saltiness of the cheese harmonizes beautifully with the fruit-forward character of the wine.

A Pairing to Share at Home: Meat and Veggie Skewers on the Grill

The char and caramelization from grilling creates magic when paired with our chilled red blend. The SuperGlou has enough structure to stand up to grilled meats without overwhelming more delicate vegetables.

Here are a few fun ideas for your next grilling adventure:

• Coconut and lemongrass steak skewers – A little spice, a little tang, a ton of flavor!

• Middle Eastern-style grilled chicken kabobs – The yogurt and paprika marinade ensure the chicken stays juicy, while the red onion provides extra caramelization and crunch.

• Halloumi and vegetable skewers – Elevate your vegetable skewers with the cheesy crispy yumminess of halloumi.

Activity Pairing: Talk to the Ducks and Play Frisbee at Laurelhurst Park

In 1919, the 32-acre Laurelhurst Park was recognized by the Pacific Coast Parks Association as the most beautiful park on the west coast. We couldn’t agree more! It’s our favorite place for a picnic on a nice day…or just a stroll on any day.

The park has many different areas – paths, sports courts, an off-leash dog spot, not to mention so many types of trees – but what we love most is talking to the ducks in Laurelhurst Park Pond. So grab the fam, the dog, and a frisbee and head to this little piece of heaven in SE Portland!

Share & Pair - March 20-23 Featuring Garageland Pinot Noir

"Share & Pair Sundays" is a campaign encouraging people to gather on Sundays to enjoy wine, food, and friends. At Portland Wine Company, we’re proud to participate in this initiative by pairing wine, food, and some of our favorite things to do in our beautiful city! 

Come in Thursday-Sunday from March 23 - May 25 to enjoy a ½ glass of our featured wine and a snack for just $12. We’ll also have weekly food specials. In the spirit of “Share & Pair,” bring a friend or two (or three!).

Share & Pair for Thursday, March 20 - Sunday, March 23

The Wine: 2023 Garageland Pinot Noir

The Garageland Pinot Noir is a multi-vineyard, multi-appellation blend that embodies the raw, untamed spirit of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. The name—shamelessly stolen from The Clash—is an homage to all the artisans who toil away behind nondescript roll-up doors, from musicians and painters to vintners and food makers. Like all of our wines, this bottling reflects winemaker Matt Berson’s hands-off winemaking style, drawing attention to the vibrant delicacy, heady aromatics, and natural acidity that define a well-balanced wine. If you loved the 2022 Garageland (91 points from Wine Enthusiast!), you’re in for another round of terroir-driven goodness.

For this bottling, we’re also excited to be part of ReVino, an innovative program bringing refillable, reusable wine bottles to the Oregon wine scene. As one of the participating wineries, we’re proud to take a step toward sustainability—because great wine should be enjoyed now and leave a lighter footprint for the future.

Paired Snack: Gruyere with Dried Fruits

The nutty richness of Gruyere cheese complements the wine’s earthy undertones, while the dried fruits echo our easy-drinking Garageland Pinot Noir’s cherry and cranberry notes.

Winery Bar Food Special: Stuffed Mushrooms

Oregon Pinot Noir and mushrooms are both known for their delightful umami and forest floor flavors. Stuffed mushrooms amplify Pinot’s savory side while the wine’s brightness makes the mushrooms sing (The Clash songs, of course).

A Pairing to Share at Home: Pizza

The Garageland Pinot Noir is the ultimate Tuesday night pizza wine. Its moderate tannins and bright acidity temper the richness of the cheese and the sauce, while the fruit notes provide a contrast to savory toppings.

Of course, Portland has an abundance of excellent pizza joints, but if you want to make your own at home, here are our recommendations:

• For the plan-ahead chef: Ken Forkish’s same day pizza dough. You do need to start this one in the morning, but it’s worth it! If you want to get really nerdy about it, check out these 10 videos where Forkish demonstrates every step of making the perfect Neapolitan pizza!

• For the last-minute chef: Quick Beer Crust Pizza. Want a faster pizza? Give it a beer! This is our go-to pizza crust for those days when you don’t plan ahead.

• Toppings! We haven’t yet met a pizza that our Garageland Pinot Noir doesn’t pair well with, but here are a few of our favorites:

• Margherita pizza – Tomato sauce, mozzarella, basil, done!

• Mushrooms, gruyere, and arugula – Savory umami goodness

• Pepperoni – A classic, elevated by the fruity, spicy notes in the wine

Activity Pairing: Go to a show at Mississippi Studios

Portland Wine Company ❤️ Mississippi Studios (3939 N Mississippi Ave, Portland, OR) in a big way! This legendary venue in NE PDX is a shrine to live music, and what better way to fuel your rock ‘n’ roll soul than with a glass of Garageland Pinot Noir? Our loud, juicy, and rebellious wine was practically made for nights filled with guitar riffs and drum solos. And the best part? You can get it on tap at Mississippi Studios—because great music deserves great wine, without the fuss.

Soups & Sips: 3 Delicious Soup and Wine Pairings to Elevate Your Bowl Game

Brrr, it’s cold! With the night time temperatures in Portland below freezing, it’s the perfect time to cozy up with a hot bowl of soup and a perfectly paired glass of wine.

Here are three soup and wine pairings that will warm you from the inside and might just make you grateful for the cold weather outside. Add a hunk of your favorite crusty bread and transform a simple weeknight supper into a memorable dining experience!

Thai Coconut Soup + Love & Squalor 2021 Willamette Valley Dry Riesling

The bright acidity and minerality of our 2021 Willamette Valley Dry Riesling creates a perfect harmony with creamy Thai coconut soup. The wine’s acid cuts through the richness of the coconut milk and the green apple and citrus flavors complement the soup’s ginger and lemongrass and also balance the chili heat.

Get the recipe: The Best Thai Coconut Soup

---

Roasted Root Vegetable Soup + Love & Squalor 2019 Pinot Noir Temperance Hill Vineyard

Winter root vegetables – in this case parsnips, rutabagas, turnips, carrots, and sweet potatoes – take on a deep caramelized sweetness when roasted, making it the ideal partner for our 2019 Pinot Noir from Temperance Hill Vineyard. The wine’s bright black cherry flavors provide a gorgeous counterpoint to the vegetables’ sweetness, while the forest floor notes in the wine echo the soup’s savoriness.

Get the recipe: Roasted Root Vegetable Soup

---

Chicken Pot-au-Feu + Love & Squalor 2022 Willamette Valley Gamay Noir

Our 2022 Willamette Valley Gamay Noir pairs perfectly with this not-quite-traditional version of the classic French chicken and vegetable soup. This wine has been a fan favorite since its release because of the perfect balance of juicy red fruit, dried herbs, and soft tannins. The wine’s lightness complements the delicate chicken and vegetable flavors without overwhelming them.

Get the recipe: Chicken Pot-au-Feu

Tasting Room Update: January Hours

HARVEST 2024 UPDATE

It's the most wonderful time of the year - Harvest!

This will be the 19th harvest for Love & Squalor/Portland Wine Company, but it's never "old hat" nor do I ever tire of it. It's a time of anticipation and excitement, adrenaline and experimentation and camaraderie. 

I'm spending more time in our partner vineyards this time of year. Kicking down the dusty rows of Pinot and Riesling to judge how the grapes are growing. We can't wait to get our hands on them, but first we have wait and worry. 

The 2024 growing season has been good overall. A bit dry and with more than a few heat spikes that had us concerned about sunburned grapes and reduced natural groundwater supplies. In the picture above you can see the grapes covered with a natural clay sunscreen that protects the skins from damage. The clay is 100% organic and doesn't affect our ability to have clean and fresh natural ferments. 

The vineyard pictured is the newest we've added to our lineup. We are proud to announce that we have signed a lease on a Chehalem AVA  site named La Cantera II. The name means "hilltop", and it is located on the crest of Rex Hill just north of Newberg. We can't wait to get our paws on the Pinot noir from LC2. 

Happy Harvest to all of you. Thank you for your support of our craft winery. If you find yourself in our neck of the woods, stop in to smell the heady aromas of harvest and sip on some fruits of our labors. 

Cheers,
Matt
