Pacific Northwest Wine Dinner
Mon, March 26, 2018 (7:00 PM - 9:00 PM)
Cost: $80
Join us for a tasting dinner and get to know the wines of the Pacific Northwest. Guided by Casey McClellan of Seven Hills Winery you'll experience six amazing wines that highlight the terroir and the unique winegrowing conditions of Willamette Valley in Oregon and Walla Walla Valley in Washington states. We will talk about the differences between the two appellations and then focus what both of them have in common - what does it mean to call the wine a one from Pacific Northwest?
About Casey McClellan - Founder and Winemaker at Seven Hills Winery:A fourth-generation farmer, Casey was raised in Walla Walla, Washington, and started working in agriculture in the seventh grade. In 1982, he joined his father in planting the now-famous Seven Hills Vineyard. Inspired by this experience, Casey went on to earn a Masters of Science with a focus on enology from UC Davis, and in 1988, he and his wife, Vicky, founded Seven Hills Winery.Since then, Casey has helped to champion the diversity of the Northwest’s most renowned appellations and vineyards, and has earned a reputation as one of the region’s most knowledgeable and respected winemakers.At the same time, he has developed an acclaimed style notable for its seamless balance between structure and grace. Reflecting unique terroirs and highlighting restrained oak, bright acidity and pure varietal flavors, Casey’s wines are recognized as benchmarks for Washington State winemaking. With an emphasis on Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Bordeaux-varietal red blends, Casey has built a storied wine program that has been praised for its character and quality, while establishing Seven Hills as one of Walla Walla Valley’s preeminent wineries.
