Walk in, find a seat, and taste your way through somewhere new. And if something catches your eye, stick around. We're happy to pour you a glass.
The Flight 4 - 8pm: Oregon
Twill Chardonnay Willamette Valley 2022 $26 - Delicate yellow and brilliant in appearance with glints of green, aromatically this is brimming with notes of tinned peach, lime, sea salt, jasmine, and toasted graham. With air, further notes of strawberry, cream, and slate are found. On the palate, layers of texture are filled in around a natural core of acidity. Flavors of peach, lemon curd, and papaya are laytered throughout.
Timothy Malone Pinot Noir Willamette Valley 2023 $19 - Not only does Tim make his own wine, but he also makes the wine at J Christopher so he's a busy man. Instead of adding sales traveling and demos to his price he just keeps the wine inexpensive so it sells itself. This wine is packed with cherry, cranberry, pomegranate. Floral on the nose and such a deal under $20.
St. Innocent Winery 2024 Pinot Noir 'Villages Cuvée', Willamette Valley $29Moderately dark garnet color in the glass. Aromas of black cherry, bramble, dried herbs, and roasted coffee beans. The blackberry and boysenberry fruit core is adorned with flavors of grilled beef, spice and smoky oak. From younger vines in Shea, Freedom Hill, and Temperance Hill vineyards.
Patrica Green "Reserve" Pinot Noir Willamette Valley 2024 $32 - This wine has flavor intensity, texture, complexity, structure and length that are usually impossible to find in this combination in a Pinot Noir at this price point because wineries generally don’t have this much incredible old vine wine available to not only supplement their entry-level Pinot Noir, but be the actual backbone of it. This is red-fruited, highly perfumed Pinot Noir with the sort of high-level texture and length that are normally found in wines of double the price and more.
Mendiva Tempranillo 2023 Three Mile Vineyard Gorge AVA $29 - Mendivia was started by Colin and Holly Howard to celebrate our favorite Spanish varietals from some of Oregon and Washington’s emerging AVAs (American Viticultural Area). We source our grapes from the Willamette Valley, Columbia Gorge (OR and WA) and the Rogue Valley. Dark and dusty fruits, black plums, and spice, more New World in character than anything else, on the aromatics of this Tempranillo. Dark chocolate, sweet, opulent dark fruits and notes of rich espresso.
Bonus Wines
Crowley Chardonnay Willamette Valley 2023 $35 - Single sourced from Four Winds Vineyard this clonal blend exemplifies the radiance and energy of the Four Winds site, capturing its natural disposition of bright acidity and saltiness. Built for immediacy and all occasions our Willamette Valley Chardonnay is aged 11 months in barrel and finished in stainless steel to combine succulence with freshness for perfect drinkability.
Timothy Malone Syrah The Rocks Milton Freewater Walla Walla $39 - The Rocks District is receiving international acclaim for its wines; particularly Syrah. The character of these wines is discernible, and global recognition is fueling the planting of new vineyard acres. Simply, this winegrowing appellation has been recognized as one of the most distinctive growing regions in the world. Modern day wine grape farming within the AVA is three decades old.
Cameron Clos Electrique 2023 $84 - Established in 1984, Cameron is committed to producing wines that express terroir that is truly Oregonian. As a founding member of the Deep Roots Coalition, an organization that believes irrigation stands in the way of terroir, their vines are not irrigated; instead they're allowed to dig deep into the soils to find water in some of the best sites in the Willamette Valley.
