Wine Tasting Tour with PortlanFood.org
Over the weekend the folks from PortlandFood.org went on wine tour of Yamhill Valley. The event was outstanding with great wine, good food and wonderful company. My favorite wines from the tour (at least among the ones I could afford) came from the same winery that was a favorite on the wine tour I did two weeks earlier: Torii Mor Winery. They have a delicious not-too-sweet and not-too-oakey Chardonnay that was worth buying during the last visit as well as some great Pinots, two bottles of which I bought on this round. The actual best wine was probably a sip of a $100/bottle Pinot noir tasted at Domaine Serene, but good as it was I am not at the point where I am wiling to drop that much money on a single bottle. Nick has posted many pictures of the tour at his website. I took a few pics as well which I will post when I take the time to.
