RIESLINGFEIER

To celebrate the arrival of Spring and our favorite grape, we are throwing a Riesling Fest ("Feier" in German pronounced FIRE!) for all of you. The Feier is Saturday April 2nd from 1pm-7pm. We will be featuring flights and glasses including our beer collaboration with Great Notion Brewing - the Riesling Radler, our 2020 Pet Matt Sekt Sparkling Dry Riesling and the latest release of the our most renowned wine - 2017 Dry Riesling Willamette Valley. We will have some pairings of hand-made local sausages, kraut and fixings on hand to help you celebrate in high style.

PICKUP PARTY

Save The Date - 'Friends With Benefits' members, Friday, May 13 4-7pm is the wine club pickup party at the winery. We've missed seeing you, and while we are all remaining cautious, we look forward to welcoming you at the tasting room for a super special sip and a snack. Bring a friend and if they join we'll toss in an extra bottle in your box. See you there! Oh, and don’t forget, adding extra bottles to your club box gets you that sweet 20% discount during pick-up.

We want to assure you that there is zero supply-chain disruption of fine wines for your table here at Love & Squalor HQ. However we are down to the last case of the most delicious 2016 Pinot Noir Reserve. It seems like we just released this, but it went FAST because it is amazing, of course! Jump online and grab the last of it.

Oh My, What a Busy July!

,

We're very excited to be releasing the new wines next week and have planned a mess of events so you can taste the goodness. NOTE: This dinner has been moved to August 7th. Seats are still available I believe. Next week - -Tuesday night - is the debut of a series of 'Mentor/Mentee Dinners' at Wildwood. The idea, brainchild of Wildwood somm Savanna Ray, is to pair up-and-coming winemakers with the winemaker who gave them their start. This dinner will feature my first wine teacher Patty Green of Patricia Green Cellars, me, and the dynamic duo behind Walter Scott Wines. Lots of wine, delicious foods and some ribald tales I am sure. Call Wildwood for reservations.

7/14 - Pouring New Seasons Raleigh Hills - 2pm 7/15 - Plate & Pitchfork w/St. Jack and Gruner - SOLD OUT 7/20 - Pouring New Seasons Sellwood - 4pm 7/21 - Pouring New Seasons 7 Corners - 4pm 7/28-7/29 - International Pinot Noir Festival (aka wino summer camp)

Stay tuned for more chances to taste Love & Squalor as the summer trips along.

Spring Has Sprung

,

The warehouse is getting emptier and emptier. The blends in the cellar are getting closer to their bottling date. In the meantime there are plenty of opportunities to get out and taste some Love & Squalor. This Friday from 3-6pm I will be pouring at the brand new Zupan's store in Lake Grove. I look forward to surprising the crowds with the Fancy Pants Riesling and other treats.

Next month marks the 10-year anniversary of the original eastside wine spot - Noble Rot. The Rot has been my hang since they opened, long before I was a winemaker. They were the first place to put Love & Squalor on the list and the first to pour it in a flight. I got all sorts of warm fuzzies for them. The Rotten Girls plus Leather are putting together a bash that is open to the public. 11 wineries pouring, mouth-watering snacks, some live tunes. If it is even half as memorable as the first anniversary, well . . . I guess I'll remember some of it.

Hope to see you all out there this Spring.

It's Gonna Happen!

This cool Spring and Summer has left a lot of winemakers wondering if we will ever get to harvest grapes this year. Well, of course we will. And the Pinot grapes will be red as proven out by these snaps taken on Tuesday at Bob Bailey's Sunset View Vineyard in the Eola Hills. See?

Summer of (Oregon)Riesling

,

I am happy that Paul Greico's obsession with all things Riesling has spread out from it's New York home and has become a national epidemic. Here in Oregon, nine restaurants are participating in the Summer of Riesling by pouring three Rieslings by the glass all summer long, with many others restaurants highlighting Riesling as well.The following are signed up:

Bar Avignon, Portland - featuring Love & Squalor

Clyde Common, Portland

Gruner, Portland

June, Portland

Le Pigeon, Portland

Heathman Restaurant and Bar, Portland - featuring Love & Squalor

Metrovino, Portland

Ned Ludd, Portland - featuring Love & Squalor

Olympic Provisions, Portland

Love & Squalor Riesling is showing up at these fine spots and is additionally ON TAP! at Kir and St. Jack. This is a special one barrel 2010 cuvee that I created for these guys. When it's gone, it's gone.
