🍷 Vin. Vino. Wein. Şarap. Ghvino.

The word we say all day at Taste has a name in nearly every corner of the world.

Twenty countries across Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East and South America each have their own word for what is in the glass. From Georgia to Argentina to South Africa.

Some sound like close cousins. Others sound like nothing else.

Reading them side by side is half the fun.

A guest once described our list as a "blend of French and local w**es." So a glass here can come from either side of that map.

Whatever the word, the bottle ends up in the same place. On a table, shared between people.

Which word for w**e did you grow up saying? Or which one would you like to learn? Tell us in the comments.

🍷 First-class dining in West Linn rarely looks the way people expect.

Most people picture a formal room and a fixed run of courses. A w**e cafe sounds like a quick stop for one glass on the way somewhere else.

What we see at our tables looks different.

When guests stay, they build the evening themselves, one shared plate at a time.

It often starts with the bruschetta tasting. Then the crispy polenta with mushroom and goat cheese. The crab ravioli. The chicken linguini.

The glass is part of the build. Service keeps pace, so the next one is there when you want it. One recent guest wrote that Nick never let them wait for the next glass.

That same review summed it up: Taste checks every box for a first-class dining experience.

Shared plates and attentive service got them there.

The shift is small. Plan for the whole evening. Autumn Fridays are when that kind of evening tends to become a habit.

Which plate would you start with?

🍷 WOW! Day One of the W**e Dot Sale was HUGE!

The w**e lovers waiting at the door at 3 pm came ready to shop, save, and hunt for some incredible new treasures. It was so much fun watching everyone explore!

But don’t worry. We restocked the shelves, and today we’re adding nearly 100 white w**es and rosés to the sale!

There are still SO many great bottles to discover, including big Napa reds, smooth Pacific Northwest Pinots, French rosés and crisp whites from around the world.

Come shop for yourself, grab a few easy gifts and stock up for all those holiday gatherings ahead. The doors open at 3 pm, and the best treasures are waiting!

🍷 The plates land, and the one across the table suddenly looks like the one you should have ordered.

We have a name for that: order envy.

It shows up most when everyone chooses a different main.

The plates arrive together, so every choice sits right beside yours.

Our guests describe these tables in their reviews.

One guest tried the roast beef dip for the first time while her husband had the spicy spaghetti pomodoro.

Another table worked through the polenta with mushrooms and goat cheese, the crab ravioli and the chicken linguine.

We read order envy as a plan quietly forming.

The dish you kept glancing at is often the one you will ask for next time.

Which plate did you catch yourself eyeing the last time you were at our table?

🍷 Soon after we opened, Amy Scott wrote that they'd already been in five times.

"We can't stay away."

She named the reason herself: the owners "poured their heart and soul into their business and you can taste it in every bite."

Robbie Hanson and Jonathan Scrimenti, a local couple, set out to build a community hub in West Linn's historic Willamette District.

A gathering place earns that name one return visit at a time.

How many visits are you on, or who are you bringing next?

🍷 Some evenings begin before you have even chosen your seat.

At Taste, the welcome is part of the night.

Sondra Swain described hers like this:
"It was a wonderful evening. It started with being greeted with a toast of ch*****ne. Then an extensive list of w**es. Robbie and Jonathan were very helpful with recommendations."

A welcome pour at your table.
A list worth lingering over.
Then your friendly server will be your guide.

As autumn evenings turn cool and date night season settles in, that first hello sets the tone for the whole night out.

🍷 Madeline Schaefer called our w**e selection fantastic and said she loved the blend of French and local w**es on the list.

She called the food delicious, too, so the kitchen earned its place right beside the glass.

Then she named one dish: the peach and pear cobbler, "the perfect summer dessert."

As the evenings get longer, we like her approach. Let the w**e lead the night, and leave a little room for something sweet at the end.

Choosing your Taste W**e Club comes down to three questions.

The order you ask them in matters more than the questions themselves.

1. One path or both?
Supertaster includes each 6-bottle release from both our Northwest and Explorer clubs, so there's something new to uncork every month.
If that sounds like you, the choice is made. The other two questions fall away.

2. The Northwest or the world?
Our Northwest Club focuses on Oregon, Washington, Northern California and Idaho, and releases in the odd months.
Explorer brings limited-production bottles from unique vineyards around the world, and releases in the even months.

3. 4 bottles or 6?
Both tiers include a pick-up party with curated tastings, early invitations to w**emaker events and an invitation to our annual holiday party.
The 4-bottle tier gives you 20% off w**e to-go and retail w**e at Taste. The 6-bottle tier gives you 25%.

Why this order?
Start with the bottle count and you narrow things down before you know whether you want one path or both.
Supertaster only exists as the two 6-bottle releases together. Deciding on bottles first can talk you out of the tier that fits.

November is an odd month, so our next release belongs to the Northwest Club and its Pacific Northwest bottles.
That makes autumn in West Linn a natural moment to decide. 🍷
