The tasting flight was a Rose, 2 Chardonnays and 2 Pinots. I loved the stories behind all of the wines. He recommended selecting a food pairing from the menu that looked amazing. We weren't too hungry but anxious to try the mushroom Brushetta, with the wines. I'm not the biggest Chard fan, but OMG, the mushrooms were fantastic with the whites as well as the Pinots. I would love to go back, order multiple food pairings and soak up the sun, enjoying what our State has to offer.

Not PGC Wine and the stories of winemakers in the Willamette area never ceases to surprise and impress me. After all was said and done, I learned that ..... Pssst!!! put your eyes closer!

It sits on a hillside with the fields of grapes splayed out before you. It's beautiful. It's literally Utopia. I wish that it remained a utopian experience. I don't know about you but I expect excellent service while at a winery. This time when we visited Utopia, albeit our tasting flights were comped, their goal at the end of the day is to get you to buy a bottle(s) or become a wine club member. So when I go limping in and ask the man behind the counter if he can recycle my glass bottle he says yes he can but then as I approach him he tells me I can just go ahead and take it outside to the white bin. From this interaction I left the tasting room and the winery host and that the winery host with the strong sensation of sour grapes. The host arrived with very good timing just as most of us had finished off our first pour which was as I recall a very fruity, like and alcohol fruit salad served very chilled. It was actually quite good. Next came three Pinot noirs. I typically do not care fore Pinot noir wines, But I will usually find at least one Pinot that pleases me. This was no exception. The first Pinot in our flight was ok. I was the wine list showed only our tasting flight. The second Pinot was a delight, it was full flavored and peppery, such a nice surprise. The last Pinot I don't think anyone liked. On to the Chardonnay. It was described to us as being aged in first oak, and then stainless steel. I would have enjoyed it more if it was only aged in oak, If you find yourself in the neighborhood, by all means, stop by. There is something on the menu for everyone. 2023 - Review # 40

This was some of the best wine I had in the region. Getting there can be a little top as the road is not paved. It is worth the trek. We sat inside by the wood fireplace that had a warm fire going. They let you bring your own food and beverage in to enjoy with their wine if you'd like. They also have heaters and blankets outside.

Highly recommend because of the relaxed atmosphere...art adorns the tasting room for purchase...and the backstory to that caught my attention. All of the artists paintings have a life story. But on to the wines! Our party enjoyed the Rosé of Gamay Noir...sunshine in a bottle! Elegant & delicious...definitely as the French say "Yummy". The 2023 Aligoté ohhh man... *sighs* I can still recall how this could be the winner for crab cakes or seafood. They are among a hand few of estates that produce this in Oregon. We were fortunate enough to taste the Sauvignon Blanc that is grown lower in the vineyard. John, the passionate proprietor, described how this was unique to Oregon and it is. He described how the location of the vines receive a warmer growing climate...and it was evident as we toured. The Savignon Blanc was unlike anything...I lived in New Zealand, and I appreciate Sancerre ...their Savignon Blanc crossed that bridge with bliss to my taste buds. Worth it!!! The Chardonnay was exceptional as well... I believe the 90 plus scores from wine writers and critics...it was paired with Seasonal Salad with PNW Salmon Arugula, radicchio, shaved cabbage, green leaf lettuce, cherry tomatoes, radish, and hazelnuts with green goddess dressing...just enough acid and just enough fruit, wonderful balance. You be the judge! Onto the Pinot Noir... Paired with four month aged Beemster goat cheese. It was a 2021 that shined. Just enough body like Sophia Loren, just enough depth like a podcast you want to listen to again and again. Captured my palette for sure. Next it was the Gamay Noir...not sure how you wine folks like Gamay or have had experiences with per se...their Gamay Noir is svelte... it's like you're a kid and... it's your first dance...it's delicate and light...it has sensibility...harmony... a perfect dancing partner...

The new location is perched on a hill with a sweet airstream and covered tasting patio. Google maps guided us onto a sketchy unpaved road so we almost aborted our mission to visit. I'm so thankful we kept going and found this sweet spot. Locals and visitors have to visit this place - now. Definitely go if you are searching for an awesome spot to relax and enjoy wine. The views are just breathtaking and hypotonic with the ever-changing clouds. This winery just moved into a top place on my list to take friends or tourists that plan to visit Oregon. Reservations are recommended, but walk-ins are welcome. Tastings in 2024 are $20 a person, but comes with a million dollar view. The Pinot is delicious, definitely savor it - or take home a case of it - if money isn't an issue. Our server Kevin was engaging and knowledgeable. I will definitely visit again. The only disappointment was the port-a-potty restroom. Although extremely clean, it was really difficult to see while inside since it's situated under the portico behind the wine bins. Hopefully in the future, they can possibly develop a sustainable winery that has better facilities or get luxury loos. I also think this spot would be too cold to visit in the winter - November - February (since it's primarily an outside venue.)
