The
dream of Erin Glenn Winery was conceived in a garage in Hood River,
Oregon in 1997, when Tim and Erin Schechtel began experimenting with
grape juice leftover from a crush plant nearby. There was no way of
knowing that that very first vintage of Gewürztraminer would be the
beginning of a life-changing adventure for Tim, Erin & their family
of four daughters. Tim and Erin moved their ever expanding family east
to The Dalles ~ where rural simplicity and a community ready for change
expressed everything they hoped for.
Erin Glenn’s first estate vineyards of Syrah & Gewürztraminer were planted in the spring of 2002 and the winery’s maiden production happened the following year, with Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris as the offerings. Later came the birth of “Tantrum Red” ~ a fun red blend, and what has become Erin Glenn’s signature in the Columbia Gorge. Tantrum is a blend of locally grown fruit ~ Pinot Noir, Merlot & Barbera.
Erin
Glenn now produces such little-known varietals as Tempranillo,
Dolcetto, Barbera and Viognier, as well as the more familiar wines like
Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Gewürztraminer, Cabernet Sauvignon &
Syrah.
WINE
Pinot Noir 2007 ~ $24.29 reg. $26.99
Tantrum NV Red Blend ~ $17.99 reg. $19.99
The
fourth generation of this cleverly crafted wine, named for our four
daughters, Tantrum Red is a unique blend of Pinot Noir, Merlot and
Barbera. A full bodied red wine, Tantrum has won the palates of many a
wine lover and is one of our best sellers in the tasting room and
around the Columbia River Gorge.
Three Mile Bordeaux-style Red Blend 2006 ~ $17.99 reg. $19.99
Using
fruit from Threemile Canyon’s oldest and youngest vineyards, we
fashioned this wine in the traditional Bordeaux style. Threemile
combines Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petite Verdot, and
Malbec to make a hearty, robust red ~ layers of fruit, tannins and
terroire will compliment hearty fare.
Gemini Late Harvest Gewurtraminer 2006 ~ $13.49 reg. $14.99
The last fruit to be harvested at our Estate vineyard, the grapes captured all of the last rays of the season and hung on the vine, slowly dehydrating until harvest, when they yielded a whopping 29 brix. Slow fermentation in neutral French cooperage for 3 months produced a luscious and fruit-filled liquid treat.
