Our featured wine of the week:
Our featured wine of the week is the new 2007 Mt. Defiance Wine Co. “Hellfire” White Blend. Here’s a delicious white blend made from fruit from Oak Ridge and Celilo vineyards in the Columbia River Gorge – This wine is a blend of Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer & Chardonnay and displays lovely ripe apple and pear notes with a rich mouthfeel and notes of honeysuckle spice and soft citrus on the finish. A perfect wine to sip and enjoy with fresh seafood.
