In addition to the fantastic wine selection, we'll be featuring FOOD FROM MIRELSA our favorite made-to-order taco specialist. She was such a hit at our last event we’ve asked her to keep it coming with her delicious, fresh, and seasonal Mexican fare - perfect with GAMAY. You won't want to miss out on this tasty experience. Plates will be available for purchase.

We're all about keeping it fun around here, so bring along your furry friends for the patio, your kids, and even your bikes! It has been a crazy harvest and we miss seeing your faces, so come join the festivities. You might even be able to jump in on the harvest – we hope to see you there!

In 2022, following the momentous Supreme Court ruling striking down Roe vs. Wade, we kicked off this event to stand up for reproductive healthcare rights. While we are grateful Oregon has strong protections, other states do not. Both Angie and Jess have roots in Texas so it's a natural fit to help women who do not have the same protections we do.

The wine lineup will be:

• 2022 Pet Matt Sparkling Rosé

In addition to this fabulous wine flight, the final few bottles of the 2022 Love & Squalor Skin Contact Gewürztraminer "A Frayed Knot" will be available for purchase. We're nearly out of stock and gearing up for our next bottling, so snag the final few bottles at our tasting room before they're gone!

Hearth & Soul Pizza truck will be onsite, serving up delicious pizzas so come hungry and enjoy their tasty offerings available for purchase! Check 'em out on insta: @hearthandsoulpizza.

$20/person tasting fee. 50% of all profits from tastings and bottle sales go to Planned Parenthood. Wine Club savings apply!

RIESLINGFEIER MARCH 16th and MARCH SPIN THE BOTTLE

To celebrate our favorite grape, we are throwing a Riesling fest ("Feier" in German).

• When? Saturday, March 16th (1pm to 7pm)

• Where? At our tasting room. Map here.

• Cost? Priceless. Actually, not true. It's $15/person which includes a taste of the lineup of Rieslings and the Radler. Fee is refundable with $50 wine purchase.

• Why? Because you're awesome and Riesling is awesome, so we thought two awesomes make an incredible and that's what you'll experience. Checking my math. Bam. Correct!

This is the 3rd annual Rieslingfeier and we are featuring three of our Rieslings plus our collaboration with Great Notion brewing: Riesling Radler.

The Radler has proven, well, RAD!, over the past two years and Great Notion only make a small amount. Once it's gone, it's gone, so be sure to bring your growlers!

Speaking of growling, how is your tummy? Well, one cannot host a German fest without German food! We will have pairings of hand-made local Bratwurst, kraut and fixings on hand in case you get peckish. All the bratwurst is cooked in the Radler and grilled to order.

Lara, the head brewer at Great Notion, and our very own Jess are entering the Riesling Radler into Shebrew, a nationwide celebration of women in the craft beer and cider industry. Shebrew, which happened, March 10th, in PDX. Come in and ask Jess how it went!

Here’s what we will be pouring:
2022 Pet Matt Sekt Sparkling Dry Riesling
2018 Love & Squalor Dry Riesling Willamette Valley
2017 Love & Squalor Dry Riesling Sunnyside Vineyard

PET MATT RELEASE & HOLIDAY OYSTER BASH

SATURDAY DECEMBER 9 - 1PM  to 7PM
(Oysters 3PM to 6PM)

It's the annual release of our new Pet Matt "Sekt" (German for sparkling Riesling). Bottle fermented, dry, and zingy, with teeny tickling bubbles - this wine has been patiently laid down for a whole year waiting to be popped.

Nothing pairs better with oysters, so we invited Denise from @popoysterspdx to shuck the freshest oysters from Hama Hama Oyster Farm.

If oysters aren't your thing, our regular menu will also be available.

Come celebrate this release with us! See you on the 9th!
