Wine and Art Meet at Oregon Wine LAB and at The Jazz Staion

I have been painting and working on my photos like a madman so I have enough for THREE shows at once.

The Jazz Station is showing 5 of my VLA works (VERY LARGE ART:) and Oregon Wine LAB is showing my new vineyard and landscape works with a few oldies thrown in for fun PLUS upstairs will be a showing of Women in Stone, the show I just took down from Studio Mantra. The books and magazine will also be available for sale.

Women in Stone was the most successful photography show I have ever had (11 works sold), also the ONLY photography show I have ever done.

I hope you can come see during January and February. I plan on doing a couple of special openings, one on the 7th, Thursday evening after 5:00 at the Wine LAB and First Friday at both places. I plan on cloning myself.

I really hope you can come join me.

This Weekend at SARVER

The Holiday countdown is on!

But fear not! We've formulated the prefect pairing to ease your mind of any holiday stress and plaster a permanent smile across your face on into 2016. Come sit back, relax, watch the weather float by and remember this time of year it's more important than ever to take time for yourself and the one's you love.

This weekend we'll be enjoying a hearty Vegan Mushroom stew, made with our very own Yakima Valley Syrah. And a Tuscan White Bean, Kale and Sausage soup. Both designed with our wine in mind, and your tummy as a top priority. We're also now offering our Voyage, a ten wine flight with pairings every day we're open! So bring your appetite and enjoy the bluesy sound of Hank and Bill Shreve as they'll be joining us this Friday, at 6pm.

David, our assistant winemaker, will be at Sundance Wine Cellars this Saturday pouring a selection of our wines from 5-7pm, so if you can't make it out to visit us on the hill, keep David company and enjoy a sip or two of Sarver @Sundance! Remember we do carry a selection of Sarver wine's at Sundance Wine Cellars and Market of Choice on Green Acres, if you ever need a bottle in a hurry.

We will be closed Christmas Day and New Year's Day, but will be open the following Saturdays. We are now on to our Winter schedule, open only Friday-Saturday,Sunday. But after the beginning of the year feel free to visit us by appointment, Mon-Thursday from 12-6pm. Contact Ian@sarverwinery.com for more information and availability.

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!
