Le Beaujolais Nouveau est Arrivé!!!
I just love Beaujolais. Oregon is my heart home but France is my soul home with Lyon & Beaujolais being home base.
The humble Gamay grape has made a name for itself here (finally) and I can’t wait to celebrate the Nouveau tonight!

“I have been saying for at least a decade that Oregon needed to be planting more Gamay, and you would see this as a trend that people would be drinking more Gamay eventually” says Chevonne Ball, epicurean owner/founder of Dirty Radish Travel and Hospitality Consulting. “And it's true. This happened. It's not a trend. It's not going away.”

Amen to that!

Not sure if you caught my latest article showcasing Oregon Gamay in ?

If not, and below:

https://www.winebusiness.com/news/article/275712

Spoiler Alert:
Oregon doesn't just make Pinot Noir - it also makes delish, high quality Gamay, at a fraction of the cost of Beaujolais!

In case you're curious about Chevonne Ball, I took this image of her at Bar West PDX doing what she does best - preaching the gospel of Oregon Gamay (and Vins du Beaujolais). As you can see, she's passionate about the cause of this 'prolific grape with a scandalous grape."

So are a lot of winemakers in Oregon!

NOTE: A special thanks to all the Oregon Gamay producers who reached out to me after they read my article to get added to the list - and to my amazing editor, Cyril Penn, for his efforts ensuring WBM's Oregon Gamay producer lists gets updated!

Ok, so wait are you waiting for? Time to try some Oregon Gamay - just read the producer list at the bottom of the article!

🎉 Happy Bastille Day! 🇫🇷✨ Did you know that this day holds immense significance in French history?

On July 14, 1789, the people of Paris stormed the Bastille, a notorious prison symbolizing the monarchy's oppressive rule. This act of rebellion marked the beginning of the French Revolution and became an iconic moment of liberation.

The revolution aimed to dismantle the feudal system, fight for equality, and establish a democratic government. It ignited the flames of change, leading to profound societal transformations in France and beyond.

Bastille Day, also known as La Fête Nationale, celebrates the French nation's unity, resilience, and commitment to freedom. It embodies the ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity that are integral to the French spirit.

Today, on this historic occasion, we commemorate the bravery of those who fought for a brighter future. Let's toast the enduring values of Bastille Day and the continued pursuit of liberty for all. 🥂🎇 🇫🇷

🚨Semi-Sappy Post Ahead🚨
This is more than the most delicious Oregon Bay Shrimp Salad I’ve had in a while. It was a small act of hospitality and kindness that actually made me cry.
No lie, June was a rough month for me. Perhaps my least favorite month thus far. But of course we keep pushing. I headed into Red Hills Market on Friday, tired and hungry, the shrimp roll was calling my name…No pictures because I devoured that thing. Saturday I went in, again hungry and tired but ordered a slightly less decadent pizza to be enjoyed now and later. I jokingly mentioned how I wouldn’t be mad if a little scoop of that shrimp salad ended up on a piece of lettuce…. 😏
Instead I was gifted a beautiful, heaping mound of delectable Oregon Bay Shrimp Salad, edible flowers, crackers and of course, hot sauce. In a word, I felt loved. Cared for. The person couldn’t have known just how much I needed THAT level of attention.

They were just being hospitable.

Merci .kapustka
I love working in the hospitality industry. I love giving people moments like this. It’s nice to have it reciprocated.
✨Please remember that you don’t know what someone is going through, but you can bet they are going through something. So, be kind. Just be kind. ✨
Also, run, don’t walk to snag one of the shrimp rolls, they won’t last. 🦐

🍇 Origins of Pinot Meunier: The Under-appreciated Grape 🍇⁠
⁠
FREE TASTING THIS SATURDAY! ⁠
June 10th ⁠
1- 3 PM ⁠
📍Ora et Labora Wine 3928 N Williams Ave⁠
⁠
Have you ever wondered about the name "Pinot Meunier"? 🌿 This black grape that thrives in cool-climate regions may not be as famous as Pinot Noir, but it plays an important role in winemaking, particularly in Champagne! 🥂 ⁠
⁠
Pinot: Derived from the French word "pin," meaning "pine cone," Pinot grapes have clusters resembling these cones due to their shape and arrangement.🌲⁠
⁠
Meunier: "Meunier" translates to "miller" in English. It signifies the powdery coating on the grapevine leaves, reminiscent of a miller's flour. 🌾⁠
⁠
Pinot Meunier showcases vibrant fruitiness with notes of red berries, cherries, and sometimes even a hint of spice.🍒⁠
⁠
Rarely produced as a still wine and even more rare to find it 100% whole cluster, this wine is unique in more ways than one. ⁠

Listen Ma, I’m on @opbphoto @npr @npratc . Superabundant dispatch: Time to uncork a brand new episode If pinot noir is the king of Oregon wines, then chardonnay is the queen. It wasn’t an easy run to the throne, though; it took decades to find the right mix of techniques, locations — and vines — to make chardonnay work in Oregon. Why did clones from Dijon, France, ultimately make the cut? We’ll tell you why. . Check out the full episode! #linkinbio . #oregonchardonnay #allthingsconsidered #williamettevalley #oregonwine #chardonnay #imontheradio

Fresh off the heels of Oregon Chardonnay Celebration, I am thrilled to show the trailer for an upcoming episode of OBP’s Superabundant guided by yours truly! Airs March 24th on OPB! Pinot noir may have put Oregon on the global wine map, but chardonnay is having a moment. Four Oregon wines made Wine Spectator's Top 100 list for 2022. The highest ranked came in at number 15 — and was a chardonnay. To wine enthusiasts, Oregon chardonnay has long been a hidden secret, but now it can't stay out of the limelight. OPB's Superabundant followed a number of the next generation of Oregon winemakers who are passionate about chardonnay and its ability to express the unique terroir of Oregon, a collection expertly curated by sommelier and international wine guide Chevonne Ball (@dirty_radish). In this clip we visit the HiFi Wine Bar (@hifiwinebar) in McMinnville, Martin Woods and Cramoisi wineries (@cramoisi_vineyard) and the Carlton Winemakers Studio (@carlton_winemakers_studio) to see the changing style of Oregon wine. 📹 by Arya Surowidjojo, Stephani Gordon, Brandon Swanson, Todd Sonflieth and MacGregor Campbell, OPB
