Yamhill Carlton Tasting Event at Portland Armory

One of the coolest tastings you can find takes place in Portland at the home of PCS on the 30th of August.
I just found out that the Ghost Hill '08 Pinot Noir is down to 5 cases so this may be the last chance to taste and buy this remarkable wine! The Yamhill Carlton Winemakers all get together and show off their wonderful wines. It will only cost you $25 if you book now and $35 at the door, but my advice? BUY NOW!
Here is the list of wineries:

Alexana Estate Vineyard & Winery*
Anne Amie*
Atticus Wine
Belle Pente
Biggio Hamina Cellars
Carlton Cellars*

Hey Robert! FYI - This event may be the LAST chance for people to get the 2009 Ghost Hill "Spirit of Pinot Noir" Dry Rose... We have only 5 cases left! ; ) ~Cheers

About the "One Bottle" Project

A number of years ago I was tasked with finding a way to raise money to help with operation costs fora local chamber orchestra. I have many friends in the wine business and know that they are continually ask for cases, half cases, bottles, tastings, etc, and that it gets old fast. They are all very giving and caring people but they can't give away all their wine to help other people.
With that in mind, I decided that if I were going to ask anyone for wine, I would do it in person and just ask for one bottle. I drove my Subaru Legacy Wagon all over the state, putting on 180,000 miles.
The first year I gathered over 150 and last year I ended up with 259 bottles of Oregon wines for our auction. This year I gathered less because I knew that too much wine would be a problem for a "mixed" auction. This year I plan to create an auction for just the wine, separate from any other event.I was given wines from every wine region we have. I drove from Cave Junction (Foris) to Milton Freewater (Zerba) and to Bend (Volcano) Bonanza (12 Ranch) and the coast(Flying Dutchman). I traveled all over the Willamette Valley and Southern Oregon on my quest, met hundreds of wonderful wine people, made new friends, and tasted the bounty of Oregon.
I look forward to this years journey in my brand new Subaru Legacy and the support of all who helped last year and the year before, and of my wonderful wife, who puts up with this crazy idea!
