Oregon Vineyards - David Hill and Tualitin Vineyards

On Saturday, I lost my sobriety at this charming little house.

For a quality bottle of wine on the cheap, you gotta try David Hill. For a good drink during a picnic, grab a bottle of the Farmhouse white.

We arrived early (They open at 12pm on Saturday, BTW.) so I decided to snap some shots of the beauty. 

After we drained David Hill, we headed over to the Tualitin Vineyard to have more wine. By this point we were pretty slammed and so we decided to eat something on one of the many picnic tables conveniently placed around the vineyard.

The view from the picnic table made the wine taste better. It also made my friends’ jokes funnier. It also made me want to chase grass hoppers. And pick the unripe fruit.

Don’t eat these. They’re for drinkin’ only.

photo credit: preceptwinebrands I’m blowing up the scene tonight with food talk. Whatever, I’m gonna drop another taste on ya real quick. The wine that I’ve been sipping on is a generic labeled House Wine. It’s from 2007 and the blend changes from year to year. This very drinkable blend includes 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Syrah, 30% Merlot, 3% Malbec, 2% Zinfandel, 1% Cabernet Franc and a 1% rumor of Petit Verdot. Although the label looks like it was designed by your third grader. This wine has an MBA in flavor. Seriously, try it. Hell, buy me another bottle. I sucked mine dry.

The Chicago-based restaurant Alinea has launched a very expensive, yet very exciting annual wine delivery program. So if you’re packing a couple extra G’s and you don’t live in a neighborhood of grifters this might be for you. When I was first getting into wine, I was thinking about how nice it’d be to have a service like this – one that introduces you to a variety of wines from across the planet. Who wouldn’t? I’m most likely not going to participate in this but it seemed like something that was worth sharing. Find out more at Alinea Wine.
