During these chilly winter months, what better way to enjoy the wine country than in a warm and cozy Cellar Bar? McMenamins is pleased to present last Thursday wine tasting at Hotel Oregon, located in historic downtown McMinnville. The next tasting will be on February 25th and will focus on some heavy hitters from the Columbia Valley including Barnard Griffin Merlot, Andrew Rich Coup d’Etat, Three Rivers Cabernet Sauvignon and McMenamins own Edgefield Zinfandel. These carefully chosen wines will be paired with some light appetizers and a wine expert will be on hand to introduce each vintage and answer any questions you may have. The tasting begins at 7:00pm and is $15.00 per person. Reservations are highly encouraged. 21 and over only please.
And if you can’t make it for the wine tasting, head on over for lunch or dinner. Chef Joshua Conrad has been at Hotel Oregon for almost two years now and has been rolling out some fabulous new menu items. New favorites include the Duck Confit Salad, Hominy & Roasted Red Pepper Risotto, Coq au Vin and the Harris Ranch New York Steak. Is your mouth watering yet?

Wow! The 1st annual ISES Summer Soiree on the rooftop at Hotel deLuxe was a BLAST! Everyone got into the tropical spirit with a perfect evening and a big helping hand from decorators Maria Corvallis at Peter Corvallis Production and Nick Apap from Royce’s Prop Shop. Also, we had canopies provided by Barclay Event Rental, lighting by Hollywood Lighting Services, casino games and sound system from Team Casino, photo booth and wacky hats (fun!) by Paparazzi Tonight (check out the photos), tropical smoothies from Maui Wowi, and of course delicious appetizers and a full bar from Gracies catering….this was a great event! We also enjoyed some hula dancing courtesy of O.H.A.N.A. Thanks to everyone who contributed! We encourage all of you to give these great suppliers a look the next time you are in need of the services they offer!
Check out a few of the photos to see a little bit of this event—we networked and partied and took wacky photographs all evening!! And what a VIEW from this cool new event space, eh? You can look for this event to be repeated annually for sure!
