Discover why Oregon’s Willamette Valley has become one of the world’s most exciting cool-climate wine regions!

Join us for the next session of Wine 101 where we explore the elegant Pinot Noirs and refreshing Pinot Gris that put Oregon on the map. In this relaxed, beginner-friendly class we’ll taste 5–7 standout wines; a perfect mix of bright whites, silky reds, and possibly a sparkling, all from the famous Willamette Valley. You’ll learn what makes Oregon Pinot so special: the cool climate that brings vibrant acidity and pure fruit, the volcanic and marine soils that add complexity, and the passionate producers crafting world-class bottles that rival Burgundy. We’ll compare different styles, talk terroir, and share easy food-pairing tips so you can confidently enjoy these wines at home.

Perfect for beginners, Pinot lovers, or anyone curious about American wine in a fun, conversational setting. What’s included:

  • Generous tasting pours of 5–7 Oregon wines (Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, and possibly a sparkling)
  • Detailed tasting notes to take home
  • Light bites to cleanse the palate between wines
  • 10% off Single Bottles & Case Specials for any Oregon wines purchased in-shop that night
