Pinot Gris and Seafood Day
Thank you to Paul and Jana DeCarli from DeCarli Restaurant in Beaverton for helping to make our Pinot Gris and Seafood Day the most successful one yet. Their Dungeness Crab Profiteroles, Ahi Tuna Tartar in Endive and Polenta Muffin with Shrimp and Dill Aioli were a perfect match with our flight of vintage and current release Pinot Gris. The 2000 Willamette Valley Pinot Gris that we discovered in our cellar was a welcomed surprise that reminded us how age worthy Pinot Gris can be. After 8 years it had matured incredibly well, showing vibrant acidity, delicate fruit and hints of petroleum that are reminiscent of older Alsacean wines.
Look for the DeCarli’s to join us here at the winery again later in the year, and don’t forget to mark your calendars for the 9th of February - Pinot Noir and chocolate pairing from noon till three in the Tasting Room. Be the first to experience our new partnership with Moonstruck Chocolates and the magical pairing that is created with Sokol Blosser Pinot Noir!
