After a long day at work, a chilled glass of wine( or three) on a warm evening is pure bliss. Local wine can be gentle on the wallet and can be good for your carbon footprint. In Oregon there are many vineyards working to be more sustainable and a tour of them is a perfect way to spend a sunny afternoon. Pack your sweetheart and your closest friends and tour around to some premier sustainable vineyards in Oregon in an Ecoshuttle, find more info. here: http://www.ecoshuttle.net/index.php/sustainable-wine-tour/.
While I'm no wine expert, I've sampled several local wines and and have fallen in love with a couple. See reviews below...
Eola Hills Pacific Blanc-At under $8 dollars a bottle, this is a delightful bottle of wine. Light and crisp with hints of apricot and melon, this wine is delicate with out being wimpy. Your friends will think you splurged:)
The wine that really turned me on to white wine and is probably my favorite in the world is Evolution from Sokol Blosser. This wine is a bit a bit more spendy, but COMPLETELY worth it! I discovered this wine on a trip to Bend with one of my best girlfriends and my life hasn't been the same since produced by Sokol Blosse, a leader in Oregon's sustainable wine movement, this wine is dances on your taste buds! Light and well balanced with hints of nectarine and citrus, It makes me imagine fairies drinking nectar out of fox gloves. If you are having a BBQ and want to serve your guests something really special, try this bottle. I also get a kick out of the label which ponders the age old question of luck? or intention?
Stay tuned, this weekend I'll have some simple but delightful summer salad recipes as well as my coveted "marry me cherry pie" recipe!
Cheers,
Jamie
