    Spanish inspired dinner, served with Tempranillo from multiple vintages.
    John K.

    This update is based on a recent dinner at Hip Chicks, structured around their Tempranillo releases from multiple years. Spanish inspired food was served to go with, and sometimes include, the featured wine. It's a wonderful thing to have winemakers who take the time to design a meal around their products, passing along ideas on how to best enjoy a nice bottle of wine at home.

    The tasting
    Sarah G.

    For me, visiting wineries isn't just about the wine, but wine culture. I love hearing the stories about the winery and learning how they do what they do and why they do it. This is the oldest urban winery in Portland and they have a rich history. I was incredibly grateful they opened their doors and allowed us to make a reservation for a tasting on a day they are usually closed (and there were only 2 of us!). And their wines.... OMG!!! With each tasting it just got better and better. The wines are served in a test tube (and you have a glass to pour them into) which I thought was plenty for a tasting. They went out of their way to source some chocolate for us (it's our anniversary) and provided a small cheese and fruit plate. The tasting room has ample space and was decorated for the holiday. I cannot recommend this winery highly enough!!! We loved it so much we are debating becoming wine club members even though we live across the country from them.

    I've had their wine for some time, but this was my first time at the mothership. Note it's a little bit tucked behind there, so just follow the signs, and you can't go wrong. My friend and I came for a tasting as part of a holiday market supporting a local nonprofit. The space itself is inviting and clean. I love how they have a wine for everyone really except for maybe no sparkling as far as I can tell. I think my favorites were the malbec and their Rouge red blend as well as the rosé. The skin contact pinot gris also had a nice herbal flavor. I appreciate all they do to support our local community and that they have lots of events. Look forward to coming back soon!

    When a business screws up you hope that they do the right thing, but when a customer royally screws up you aren't sure how one will act. I organized my first event recently at my new job. I had briefly been a wine club member at Hips Chicks. I joined pre-Covid as so many of their events sounded fun. I stopped my membership once events stopped being a thing anymore. I noticed on their website they started up again and saw they had a Halloween Candy Wine Parining Event. I inquired through their website, about hosting an event at my work. Gloria responded immediatley and was super communicative everytime I reached out to her. I wanted to organize two different events. Gloria told me they could deliver kits in the morning the day of each event. The first date, all I arrived on time, and was super impressed by the presentation, and how easy it was to host the event. Everyone loved it. The day of the second event arrived, and mid-afternoon i realized my kits had not been delivered. I went back to check my email and noticed I had given Gloria the wrong date. I was besides myself. It was a Tuesday, and the winery was closed. I reach out to every email listed on their website, but I was frantic and needed a response ASAP. I then saw a link to their FB page and sent a message through there explaining what happened. With in seconds the owner responded, and within in 15 minutes my kits were at my door. I can't express how grateful I truely was. I did not want to reschedule the event and have to admit my failure. They totally saved my booty. They are the epitome of what good custmer service is all about. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Thank you!

    Awesome spot in Sellwood. In the industrial area, and thankfully they had signs to direct you. Owners were good people willing to share their history. They will be celebrating 20 years! I did a succulent pot oil diffuser class and it was so worth it! Nothing better than girls time while enjoying a bottle of wine!

    Menu and tasting flight
    Jeri L.

    Kind of off the beaten path in a west house style district. They are so kind. Everyone that works there is amazing. I did the wine flight. I feel it's the best way to get to know the wines and ordered the apple Brie walnut with honey flatbread. I couldn't have been happier. The food is so good as was the wine. They do not have a vineyard but the grapes they use are purchased from local growers. I was there for sip and shop because I've loved these two things for a long time. It's a small market but the vendors are all amazing. The booths offered flowers, jewelry, pound cake (I bought raspberry), a photographer (yes you can have your portrait taken and from the samples posted she's really good), a booth with cards and stickers, and my favorite (because of the Disneyland connection) softest scarfs and infant blankets. I bought the infant blanket for my niece who will have her second boy soon. I should have taken more pics of the shops but I was having to much fun. I can't wait for the next months market. I'm hoping my friend will be able to come with me. Until then here are the pics I did take.

    Test tubes filled with wine and sangria samples

    My daughter and I attended the Sangria tasting event on Saturday. We were so excited for this adventure. We got there and there only a few tables filled which made me question why we needed to make reservations. We were excited to taste the Sangria. What we got was six test tubes that literally held a table soon each of three of their wines and three Sangrias. I have been wine tasting for years, Never have I received a test tube with literally a tablespoon of a wine to sample. How do you charge $20 for 6 tables of Liquid? I could drag this out, but will simply say ALL of the wines and sangrias were horrible! Strong/bitter after tastes and the Sangrias were an insult to Sangria for sure. A lot of fruit purée, grossly sweet, maybe some limeade and no fresh fruit - a signature of great sangria. I'm 60; I've been drinking wine and planning events at wineries for 30 years- I worked in the Napa Valley for five years. I love wine and I don't have to drink expensive wine, it just needs to be good. This experience was a HUGE disappointment. I was introduced to Hip Chicks wines about 10 years ago. Back then I liked what I had tried, but it was never a regular in my rotation so I was excited to rediscover it. Sadly, it was an EPIC fail. I am all about supporting women in business for sure- first and foremost, but As a consumer I expect a lot and sadly this experience and the quality of the product did not deliver.

    Some boutique items to browse

    They are hip and friendly chicks indeed. But, the chicks don't do wine all that well. The tasting room is hip and a cool venue for tasting and for events. I checked them out for the wine and chocolate tasting event The Hip Chicks hosted on February 12th and 13th, 2011, featuring chocolates by Cocoa Velvet Chocolates. To start we had a 2007 Sangiovese paired with a Lavender Earl Gray dark Chocolate. The wine on its own was nothing special. I had to have the chocolate with it to be able to sip and appreciate it. In fact, none of the wines wowed me and I couldn't bring myself to buy a bottle or even a full glass of anything. I noticed the pricing of the wines were not unreasonable at around $16.00 for the Sangiovese to $26.00 for a Malbec. I will spend that much for good wine on occasion. But these are just not that good. I like the concept of having a cool tasting room here in the city that hosts fun and interesting events like the chocolate tasting event. I just hope the wine making part of their endeavor improves.

Fast-forward to 2023 at the Pearl tasting room... and what an incredible experience! When you enter from the street, you are greeted with a warm ambience, plants, and quiet music that beckons you to the service counter. I was impressed with the design of the space and the curated seating areas, which all seemed to be slightly different. The team (clearly) put immense care into a space that adapts to different needs, experiences, and potential guests. After being seated, the staff was fantastic. Since this was my first time here, they spent a ton of time explaining possible experiences, and we ended up settling for the blind-tasting expertise and one of the AVA flights. This was a phenomenal experience since your palette opens up to learn more about the wines, varietals, and more with this double tasting. They have a perfectly executed food menu (in my opinion) that also welcomes you to try new foods and diets, especially when considering the Vegan Caviar... which is fantastic. Several food items would work for an array of people, showing the care and attention to detail the staff must have taken to create a space for everyone. I enjoyed the Willikaia Chardonnay the most, so I did leave with a few bottles, given that summer is around the corner. My only recommendation would be to add patio seating or to open up to the large windows and doors more often when the weather is pleasant. I look forward to returning with friends when folks come to visit. Thank you, Erath!

They have a wonderful space with high ceilings and a great lounge area as you check in and then large tables in the back that are private. It does look like you can potentially rent out the space as well as there were curtains to create privacy. Came just for a tasting and if you enjoy your reds the tasting here is only $25 which is a pretty good deal. The pinots were enjoyable and they may share some specials that they may have in season too.

    *Thunder crashing, followed by screaming and creepy organ music*…read more It's been a while since I have had Bauman's cider and just recently I had one of their ciders. It's been a hot minute since I have had a cider from them but the cider I just finished enjoying was none other than Elvira's Currant Obsession. This was a currant cider and a type I don't believe I have had before. I have had currants before but it was when I was quite young and we had a currant bush in my grandmother's yard on the family ranch. We would grab some for a snack which was always good. I remember them being a tad tart. This cider in contrast us fairly sweet and while it was good I tend to go for more dry ciders. But Elvira was on the label and how can you not love Elvira? She's in season anytime of the year. But anyway the flavor highlights for a kind of less common berry is the red currant( or on the bottle it says Black Currant) , apple and sweetness. Tartness is there as well as dryness but it definitely is more subdued. And it makes sense since this is a berry cider. At any rate it was good to revisit Bauman's Cider again and thank you for tuning into another one of my Yelp reviews...unpleasant dreams! *cue the sinister laughing and more creepy organ music*
