You deserve answers, and they will be served.

BLIND TASTINGS ARE BACK! 9/24 5-7pm
On one Thursday evening every month I will select 3 w**es and not reveal the truth of their identity until you have rendered your verdict.

🍷Suspect profile:
•2 red w**es, and 1 white
•All single varietals
•From any region in the world

Any resource at your disposal may be used to determine a w**e’s identity, ideally Grape Varietal, W**e Region, and Subregion of origin, and Vintage.

It’s rare anyone is actually good at this. It’s just tons of fun, so NO JUDGEMENT

I have score sheets, if you are competitive.

After nearly nine years of professional w**e buying and selling, and decades of w**e enthusiasm, I arrived at another level of Rosé selection and appreciation this Summer. It really has been a summer for drinking pink around The Valkyrie with my favorite very local Willamette Valley classics ( Illahe Vineyards Van Duzer Vineyards Stomp by Croft Vineyards) only drinking better and better every vintage, side by side with some remarkably good Rose’s from Hungary, Turkey, France, Portugal, and Mexico, and here we are finishing with more finesse than I thought possible with this vivacious Italian blend from Pasqua. Corvina, Trebbiano, Syrah and Carmenére make for a shockingly vibrant palate. So much pink grapefruit I briefly wondered if it was actually an ingredient- smooth sailing into nectarine/mango kept dignified by the anchoring minerality, refreshing by youthful acidity, and alluring with glances of florals. Only 11 minutes on the skins, and it outshines everything! If you ask me “White or red?” tonight, I’m answering “Pink”, without hesitation.
Open tonight 8/27 4-8pm!
Regular hours the rest of the weekend.

The line up is so good this week there is no way I could pick a fav. These are all rad:
🤍 So fresh and so clean clean, Arneis from Italy is pristine
🍈 Make no mistake- Melon de Bourgogne deserves every inch of the Willamette Valley it has. This a beautiful varietal for our terrior
❕❕This is exactly why I cannot resist a Slovenian w**e- small region slaying Sauvignon Blanc on its own terms
🌸 My local love, back in stock, and by popular demand, one of the true gems of the Valley, Illahe’s Rosé of Tempranillo
💐 Natural Sparkling Rosé Pet Nat from Portugal is full of well played surprises and solid methodology in this ancient and compelling format
‼️ If you are curious about what an over ten year old Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is like, today is your day
📍 There needs to be more Pinot Meunier here, and in particular we all need more of this one from Scenic Valley
🚨 I can’t get enough Sicilian w**es lately, and this Nerello Mascalese just made me double down on my infatuation
🇵🇹 This Red Blend from Portugal is mostly stuff you’ve never heard of, and that’s what I love about it. Your mouth knows what’s up though

Good luck picking a fav, but it’s worth trying to for sure

I always say if you must drink inexpensive w**e, may it be Portuguese. The most bang for your buck of all the w**e places, particularly old world, and they have been at it as long as anybody, despite forever and to this day being under appreciated by the w**e over educated and minus valued by luxury junkies trading in their taste buds for the chemical and social endorphin cocktail of successfully seeking French approval, I guess. But why? Cuz nothing is cooler than punk rock and thats what I consider Portugal if I had to give them a genre to explain my perception of their approach, even though that is pointless because they could care less about anybody giving them anything; their game has always been too good to notice who’s on a podium when they only honor the echelon of individuality with no time or space for gates or their keeping. Portuguese reds are always epic mouthfulls of living on their own terms and if you are the type that craves a red that hits unapologetically and artistically enough too get away with it than this blend from Porrais is your guy. Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Sousa and Tinta Barroca get onstage and dirty it up like Tempranillo Who? while coming at you with some kind of baseline blend that has you leaving any affinity for upper middle class Bordeaux faster than the soft rock station on your radio dial cuz its too Douro mighty and primal to be ignored, but also soothes some kind thirst and angst inside you like a river nobody ever swims in or a dark bar on a sunny day, all animalistic and ancient and world class if you are exotic and humble enough to notice, with no ostentatious insults to your intelligence, just deep pulsing red w**e being unequivocally itself.
