About Winter’s Hill Vineyard
Founded in 1961, the Gladhart family has, over the course of three generations, developed the Winter’s Hill estate in Dundee Hills, Oregon. The latest Gladharts first planted their own vines in 1990, and since 1998, the family’s been releasing their own wines under the Winter’s Hill label. Certified by both LIVE and SalmonSafe, they’ve grown Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Blanc sustainably in Jory soil, perfect for premium Oregon wines.

TASTING NOTES:
“This brisk white starts out lean and opaque, its green-apple and tarragon scents needing time to reveal themselves. By the second day open, this wine has taken on a second life, presenting expansive, mouthfilling flavors of quince spritzed with lemon.” ~Wine & Spirits

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
“Si vous chantez Noël en Juillet, Casemates, c’est s’y prendre à l’avance!” ~Jules Massenet, probably.

DRINK IT FROM (conventional option):
On the full-bodied side with an Alsatian style, so perhaps something with a larger bowl, but a standard white glass will do. Pair with seafood, pasta dishes, or chicken.

OR (really-going-with-the-theme option):
One of those standard spherical ornaments with the crown removed. And washed out, of course.
