Upside down, inside out, right side up - any way you turn it, this wine is fantastic!!!…read more A friend who is a wine club member has been raving about their wine for years, and I finally stopped in for a tasting flight. Every single wine in the flight was good, which is rare. My absolute favorite was the Mourvèdre, a serious red with dark fruit and notes of spice. Complex, yet easily drinkable. Their Mourvèdre blend was also a standout. Upside down Wine is located right on Oak, the main street in Hood River and located right next to the clothing store, Parts and Labour. The name is very subtle over the door so if you aren't intending to go here, you most likely will walk right by. Don't! The very stark, modern interior, which feels a bit sterile, comes alive with warmth from the friendly service and the chatter and laughter of other patrons. You can stand along the long bar, European style, or sit at a high top for two or in comfy chairs in the back. Now that I've had the opportunity to visit the wineries in Hood River and the Gorge multiple times, previous faves no longer hold a candle to some of my new favorites. Could be that my palette has become more refined, who knows? I just know that my top 5 list contains none of my original choices and Upside Down wine is now in the list!

I did a wine flight and my boyfriend did one of the wine and soft serve sundaes. This was such a cool and unique offering and the flavors actually paired so well together! The space is really vibey- lots of photo opps and cool art. We were tucked away in our own little couch area and it felt like we were at a cool club or something. Very hip, trendy, but still classic and lovely wines. The staff was top notch, super friendly and helpful. I felt like me and the servers were all besties by the time I left and they were so kind and accommodating. I can't wait to come back!

They let us…read moreknow ahead of time the barrel tasting room is kept cool, so be sure to bring a sweater or jacket. Glad we did, but they also had blankets available just in case. The room is cozy, and Sue guided us through the tasting at a great pace. She kept us both engaged while making it fun as she shared history of the winery and the vineyards. I especially loved the tip about freezing grapes and using it in wine to keep chilled. We tasted several wines that were still maturing which I wasn't sure I would enjoy, but was pleasantly surprised about how much I like them. A good reminder to keep an open mind! Love the pinots of course and my husband loved the bolder reds. We enjoyed the entire experience! My sister-in-law is a wine club member and bought three bottles to add to their collection. There's also a beautiful outdoor area with chairs and tables, perfect for relaxing. If you're visiting and not doing the barrel tasting, which we highly recommend, definitely take some time to sit outside, enjoy the surroundings, and of course, a glass of wine.. or two +!! Thank you to Sue for a wonderful tasting experience from beginning to end!! Cheers!!

The other option was coleslaw which I don't usually like. My friend got the blueberry sausage flatbread. She said the crust was really good but that the quantities of the toppings could have been balanced better.
