On arrival there will be a brief tour of the property. Those who choose to shoot will attend a gun safety lecture and will gather at the skeet range. (Alcohol will not be available to those shooting until afterward!) If you opt not to shoot, you may wander the property, visiting its organic gardens, vineyards and orchards where European truffles are being cultivated. A BBQ lunch at the Pig Pit will follow. Shuttle pick up will be from McMinnville and Newberg hotels at 9:15am with return to PDX and downtown Portland/The After Party at 3:00pm. _________________________ PINOT PONG Participating Wineries: Argyle, Lange, Alexana, Grochau Cellars, Colene Clemens, St. Innocent Location: Argyle Tasting House Here’s a simple question: Do you have ‘game’? If the answer is ‘yes’ then join winemakers Jesse Lange (Lange Estate), Mark Vlossak (St. Innocent) and Nate Klostermann (Argyle Winery), for an all-out Ping Pong tournament vying for the coveted 2018 OPC Golden Paddle Trophy. Calling all competitors to a day of fun and games, featuring lunch from Local Chef Jody Kropf of Dundee’s famed Red Hills Market and his rolling wood fired pizza truck (has to be seen to be believed). You’ll also enjoy rare Pinots and special wines from our wineries (plus some local brews and other surprises). Pinot Pong for the People! _________________________ ROSÉ RECOVERY BRUNCH Participating Wineries: Elk Cove, Sokol Blosser, Stoller, Van Duzer, WillaKenzie Location: Plaza del Toro, Portland Join us for a celebration of some of our favorite things: Rosé and Brunch! Hosted at Plaza Del Toro, a Portland gastronomic society and modern test kitchen created by celebrated restaurateur John Gorham, we’ll have a leisurely morning tasting through our current Rosé releases while enjoying a thoughtfully prepared family style brunch featuring a locally sourced menu inspired by summer and paired with our Rosés. In true Pinot Camp style, our winemakers will also have a few special bottles up their sleeves to share with the group before we all part ways. _________________________ THE SKYLINE SOCIAL Participating Wineries: Cristom Vineyards, Domaine Roy et fils, Evening Land Vineyards Location: Departure Restaurant + Lounge, Portland Join us for a rooftop affair at Departure Restaurant + Lounge in downtown Portland. Al- fresco dining, anyone? We’ll be enjoying the view from our private deck on the 15th floor, along with a curated three-course lunch by Chef Gregory Gourdet, 2018 James Beard Award semifinalist (and first runner-up on season 12 of Bravo’s Top Chef). As we explore nontraditional food and wine pairings through the lens of Chef Gourdet’s unique modern Asian cuisine, winemakers Jared Etzel, Tom Gerrie, Ben DiCristina and Steve Doerner will wax poetic on topics such as whole cluster fermentation, amphora-aged Pinot noir, and classic rock. Bring your questions, appetites and sunglasses—we’ll see you on the roof! ______________________________ THE VALLEY IS YOUR OYSTER Participating Wineries: Antica Terra, Bethel Heights, Soter Vineyards Location: Soter Vineyards Join us at Mineral Springs Ranch, where Tony Soter, along with fellow winemakers Maggie Harrison of Antica Terra and Ben Casteel of Bethel Heights, will collaborate to bring you an incredible day in Oregon wine country. Start your day with a light hike to the top of Mineral Springs Vineyard where you’ll be greeted with a beautiful assortment of oysters from the chefs at Tournant. Enjoy a sampling of local Chardonnay and sparkling wine while our winemaking teams regale you with stories of terroir and our oyster experts elucidate on the nuances of our local 'mer-roir.' When your palates and appetites have been sufficiently whetted, you’ll make your way back to the Soter lodge for a tasting and discussion with the winemakers that will highlight two incredible vintages in the last decade. Lastly, we welcome everyone to relax with the Soter Vineyards head chef, Alex Daley, and Antica Terra’s head chef, Timothy Wastell, who are preparing a feast worthy of celebrating your last day at Pinot Camp 2018. ______________________________ ¡VIVA EL VINO! Participating Wineries: Angela Estate, Anne Amie Vineyards, Chehalem Winery, Montinore Estate, Patton Valley Vineyard, REX HILL Location: Mt. Tabor Park, Portland After a few days of structured tastings and events, why not join us for an afternoon fiesta? This experience was designed with the weary, pickled and stuffed camper in mind. If you're in need of siesta, Portland’s “urban volcano,” Mt. Tabor Park, is a perfect place to lounge around on a picnic blanket to unwind, relax, and take in the beautiful views of the city. Come hang out with your favorite winery folk, eat a delicious feast prepared onsite by Portland's fabulous CHALINO restaurant, and maybe challenge a winemaker to a game (cornhole, badminton, egg toss and more!) in one of the oldest and most beloved parks in Oregon. We'll have a piñata filled with goodies, refreshing beverages and more! ______________________________ WINE WIZARDRY – GROW, BLEND, TASTE Participating Wineries: Brittan, Brooks, Carabella, Shea, Winderlea Location: Brooks Winery It’s time to put all your new knowledge of Oregon Pinot noir into action. You will be teamed up with winemakers as they share how decisions made while planting their vineyards follow through into the final decisions they make while blending their wines. You’ll taste through the AVAs as winemakers and viticulturists Robert Brittan, Chris Williams, Bill Sweat, Mike Hallock and Dick Shea share barrel samples of the same clones from five different AVAs. Then, we turn it over to you to blend your own bottle of Oregon Pinot noir that you will get to produce, package, brand and market in teams, to share with fellow campers. After the heavy lifting is done, it’s time to open some Rosé and Chardonnay while surveying 360 degrees of vineyards at Brooks winery, perched high up on the hilltop of the Eola Hills. Then we’ll sit for lunch with which you’ll pair with your newly created Oregon Pinot noir. Brooks' Chef Abby will create a lunch for the ages using fresh food from the Brooks garden and other local purveyors. In addition to your new creation, we’ll have on hand a selection of current and library favorites from each of the host wineries. _________________________ WINGS OVER WILLAMETTE Participating Wineries: Coeur de Terre Vineyard, Foris Vineyard, J. Christopher Location: McMinnville Airport What’s more fun than BBQ, beer (along with some Rosé and Pinot) and flying low over the Willamette Valley? Join Winemaker/Owner/Pilot Scott Neal of Coeur de Terre Vineyard along with Julianne Allen of Foris Vineyard for the chance to see the AVAs of the Willamette Valley from the window of a six-seat Cessna. You will have a bird’s eye view while Scott flies you over the AVAs of the North Willamette, discusses the geology of Oregon and gives you a truly unique view of what makes our place so special. This is limited to 20 campers, so please sign up and fly! _________________________ ZEN OUT IN THE CHEHALEM MOUNTAINS: OMAKASE LUNCH AND SAKE TASTING Participating Wineries: Adelsheim, Hamacher, Ponzi Vineyards, Raptor Ridge Location: Ponzi Vineyards It’s time to take a breather and Zen out in the Chehalem Mountains. Join Ponzi Vineyards, Raptor Ridge, Adelsheim and Hamacher to lounge hillside at The Laurelwood, Ponzi Vinyards’ newly unveiled hospitality space. Take in epic valley views while enjoying an incredible multi-course omakase lunch crafted by the sustainable sushi masters at Portland’s famed Bamboo Sushi. Explore unique food and drink pairings personally selected by your winemaker hosts. While handing out handrolls and selecting sashimi, Bamboo Sushi founder Kristofor Lofgren will lead us in a rousing toast and share his sustainable seafood story. Then just sit back and enjoy the incredible array of flavors that his team has prepared. After a day of Pinot noir, your palate will be ready for something new. Following our delicious lunch, Sake One will offer a special tasting, including craft sake from Oregon! And yes, my friends, there will be bocce ball courts… OPC 2018 WINERIES ADELSHEIM VINEYARD HYLAND ESTATES ALEXANA WINERY J.

    If you drink no Noir, you Pinot Noir Volume 9, Issue 39 March 31, 2014 Adventures on the Pinot Trail: World of Pinot Noir - The Seminars On February 27, 2014, I hit the Pinot Trail to attend four major events in California. Like the song, “Sugartime,” from the 1950s sung by the McGuire Sisters, it was “Sugar (Pinot) in the morning, Sugar (Pinot) in the evening, Sugar (Pinot) at suppertime. Be my little sugar, And love me (Pinot) all the time.” The trail first led me to Santa Barbara for the 14th Annual World of Pinot Noir, then to San Francisco for three more memorable events: a special retrospective tasting of the wines of Ted Lemon titled “30 Years of Winemaking, 20 years of Littorai,” at Jardiniere restaurant on March 2, Affairs of the Vine Pinot Noir Summit at The Golden Gate Club on March 9, and the In Pursuit of Balance seminars and tasting at Bluxome Street Winery on March 10. I will give a full report on each stop along the Pinot Trail in this issue and those to follow, highlighting some of the special wines I tasted. Some have accused me of being a Pinot pimp and rightfully so. One of my readers told me when I asked him what he had been drinking, “As far as what I am drinking, it’s Pinot you bastard, and it’s your damn fault. Now I empty my bank account at wineries nobody has ever heard of, on wines nobody has ever drank except you, you pr**k. You have ruined me....and I love it.” The World of Pinot Noir successfully relocated this year from its long-standing home in Shell Beach to the Bacara Resort & Spa in Santa Barbara.

    It’s the Place, Stupid! Volume 7, Issue 22 August 4, 2009 Papa Pinot’s Legacy Pervades 2009 IPNC “David Lett defined the term “visionary,” sailing against a strong current as he fulfilled the promise of Oregon wine. He planted grapes where others deemed it impossible, understanding that the very finest wines are often grown where it is most perilous, and he thrived on that challenge. His personality set the tone for the character of the Oregon wine industry, and his stunning wines rewarded his fearlessness, focus and independence. For those who prefer their opinions strong and their wines elegant, David was your man. What an inspiration.” Ted Farthing, Oregon Wine Board Executive Director, Oregon Wine Press, January 2009 Each July for the past twenty-four years, McMinnville, Oregon, has become Beaune in the USA. 700 Pinot geeks from all over the country and from every corner of the world descend on this inauspicious town to celebrate the fickle darling of wine cognoscenti and revel in their indulgence. The International Pinot Noir Celebration (IPNC) is held on the intimate and bucolic campus of Linfield College, but there is no homework or written tests, and no dreadful lectures at 8:00 in the morning, just an abundance of great Pinot Noir paired with the delicious bounty of Oregon prepared by the Pacific Northwest’s most talented chefs, and plenty of joie de vivre. This year’s IPNC, held on July 24-26, 2009, marked the twenty-third event, dating back to 1987, when a group of grape farmers and winemakers assembled to figure out a way to promote Oregon wine.

    171 views | Jun 10, 2020, 12:24pm EDT Tualatin Hills And The Laurelwood District Are Oregon’s Newest American Viticultural Areas Joseph V Micallef Contributor Spirits I write about wines and spirits and the hidden corners of the world Ponzi Vineyard, View from Aurora Vineyard PHOTO COURTESY PONZI VINEYARDS/ANDREA JOHNSON AERIALS Two new American Viticultural Areas (AVA) have been announced by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB). Located in the northern end of Oregon’s Willamette Valley, in the heart of Oregon’s Pinot Noir producing zone, the two new AVAs are Tualatin Hills and the Laurelwood District. The two AVAs, which are partially adjacent to one another, are notable for containing among the highest concentrations of Laurelwood soils in Oregon. Laurelwood soils consist of an exceptionally fine windblown soil called loess. It consists predominantly of silt-sized sediment that was formed by the accumulation of wind-blown dust and was produced by the grinding down of basaltic and other volcanic rocks by glaciers during the last ice age.

They emphasize flavors of cherry, blackberry and spice. These wines offer a lighter, elegant style and texture with well-defined tannins, which is markedly different than the earthier, more robust, black fruit centered styles typical of Oregon’s sedimentary soils.
  • 2019 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

    2019 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

    2019 WILLAMETTE VALLEY PINOT NOIR AVERÆN was born out of our love for cool climate Pinot Noir. Oregon’s Willamette Valley offers an ideal growing climate, where strong winds blow from the nearby Pacific Ocean, and the mix of ancient volcanic soils and marine sediments from a prehistoric ocean floor lend intense minerality and complexity to the Pinot Noir grapes grown on them. Simple sustainable farming, hands-off winemaking and a passion for Pinot Noir dictate our mission. Our vineyards span the Willamette’s sub-AVAs, enabling us to create a wine that is a true representation of the Valley as a whole – playing off each site’s specific personality and complementary nature to create a harmonious blend.

    If you drink no Noir, you Pinot Noir Volume 10, Issue 25 February 8, 2016 Revisiting New Zealand Pinot Noir on the Occasion of Spectacular 2013 Vintage The New Zealand wine industry is thriving in a relatively small country that depends on exports for its survival. According the 2015 New Zealand Winegrowers Annual Report, the value of New Zealand wine exports grew 7% in 2015 to reach a new record of $1.42 billion. Three markets, Australia, UK and USA each account for around one quarter of exports (the USA is the largest export market by value) with significant future growth potential evident in North American and China. New Zealand wine is exported to more than 90 countries. Exports of Pinot Noir nearly doubled from 2008 to 2015. New Zealand is still renowned for Sauvignon Blanc which accounts for the vast majority of the country’s wine production, but Pinot Noir, and even Chardonnay, is attracting the most attention from wine connoisseurs. As Nick Stock, Australia Gourmet Traveller Wine, pointed out in April 2015, “The attention given to New Zealand Pinot Noir is well above what’s deserved in terms of the amount made, but factor in their quality across a range of styles and it’s easy to justify the hype.” Refer to chart below for percentage of production by varietal. From 2006 to 2015, the number of New Zealand wineries has increased from 530 to 673 and the number of growers from 87 to 762. Total producing vineyard area in 2015 was 88,609 acres. Pinot Noir acreage has increased from 10,039 acres in 2006 to 13,748 acres in 2015 (nearly equal to the 14,027 acres of Pinot Noir in the Willamette Valley.
