  • Adelsheim Vineyards Dinner and Tasting at Altura Bistro

    Dear OenophileIn the late 60’s and early 70’s there was no Oregon wine industry, no IPNC and no Dijon clones.

    Dear OenophileI don’t know about you but I am starved for Bordeaux. The style, aromatic and flavors all represent a sense of place. Which, when you look at it, is how Bordeaux is labeled.  It’s all about the map. They name wine after a village, or a mountain, a river or a house. What do…
