Winemaker’s tasting at okta (celler) in McMinnville. Green apples and limes, with very fresh acidity and a hint of minerality. Dry, but verging on the ‘kabinett’ side. Very long finish. Wonderful. Paired beautifully with shaved white asparagus, seared asparagus tips, and geoduck. Asked for a second glass to pair with seared scallop.

Winemaker’s tasting at okta (cellar) in McMinnville. Beautiful ruby color, medium bodied. Dark cherries and berries, with earthy tones. Tannins fully integrated. Medium-long finish. Wonderfully paired with coffee-crusted lamb and stuffed morels.

From the wine list at King. Great freshness and acidity. Wonderful sidewalk lunch pairing with chicken and sea bass.
