- Willamette Valley 2022 Estate Chardonnay – $42 per bottle – Blend profile: 100% Chardonnay.Wine maker’s notes:
Expressing the terroir of our three estate vineyards. The Willamette Valley’s long, cool growing season is ideally suited for growing low yields of high-quality Chardonnay grapes.- Willamette Valley 2023 Estate Rosé of Pinot Noir - $ 34 per bottle – Blend profile: 100% Pinot Noir
Wine maker’s notes:
Sourced from our sustainably farmed Elton and Tualatin Estate Vineyards, the grapes were gently whole cluster pressed and fermented in stainless steel to deliver expressive aromas and flavors with a crisp, dry finish.- Willamette Valley 2022 Estate Pinot Noir - $ 42 per bottle – Blend profile: 100% Pinot Noir
Wine maker’s notes:
Expressing the terroir of our three estate vineyards — the original planting by Founder Jim Bernau in the Salem Hills, Tualatin Estate planted by Oregon wine pioneer Bill Fuller in the foothills of the Coastal Range and Elton Vineyard planted by Dick and Betty O'Brien in the Eola-Amity Hills.- Walla Walla Valley 2020 VOYAGEUR SYRAH - $ 60 per bottle – Blend profile: 100% Syrah
Wine maker’s notes:
From our Maison Bleue vineyards, the name Voyageur translates to "traveler." Legend says that when these French fur trappers first looked down from the Blue Mountains upon the fair fertile valley, they exclaimed, "voila, voila!" (behold, behold!) and were transfixed. This Walla Walla Valley Syrah blend features fruit from some of the most sought-after vineyards in the valley.- Walla Walla Valley 2020 PAMBRUN CHRYSOLOGUE - $75 per bottle – Blend profile: Bordeaux-style red blend
Wine maker’s notes:
Our Pambrun wines are inspired by the rich history of the Walla Walla Valley when Pierre and Kitty Pambrun operated the Nez Perce Trading Post for the Hudson's Bay Company in 1832 and Pierre became Walla Walla’s First Citizen.RSVP AND PRE-PAY TO CONFIRM YOUR SPOT

Social time; bring an appetizers and/or beverage to share with the group
5:45 - 7:45June "The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom , Elizabeth Sherrill , et al.Corrie ten Boom was a Dutch watchmaker who became a heroine of the Resistance, a survivor of Hitler's concentration camps, and one of the most remarkable evangelists of the twentieth century. In World War II she and her family risked their lives to help Jews and underground workers escape from the Nazis, and for their work they were tested in the infamous Nazi death camps. Only Corrie among her family survived to tell the story of how faith ultimately triumphs over evil.
Here is the riveting account of how Corrie and her family were able to save many of God's chosen people. For 35 years millions have seen that there is no pit so deep that God's love is not deeper still. Now The Hiding Place, repackaged for a new generation of readers, continues to declare that God's love will overcome, heal, and restore.
