I always prefer reds but the Riesling they gave us to taste was very nice. I'm kicking myself for not writing down the pinots because the peppery one was fantastic!! The tasting room is lovely and we were allowed to bring in our own small tray of snacks too (not knowing we could buy there as well, which we did because we had a very large group). I had no idea where Forest Grove was (and I've lived here all my life) and so I was thrilled to discover this winery with my friends on a Birthday wine tasting day. Yay Forest Grove!

At our first visit last week, we realized Montiore should have been on our destination wine tasting…read morelist long ago! Approachable wines, affordable prices, tasting menu of multiple varietals, friendly and knowledgeable hostess, and beautiful tasting room. Our expectations far exceeded, we left big fans.The friendly set up and unpretentious, food-friendly wines make this a place with something for everyone except the most entrenched of wine snobs I'd guess. TASTING ROOM: Large and bright tasting room has a lovely interior with extra and cozy seating as you enter, in case you want to buy a glass or bottle and sit and sip. Lovely views from the tasting room. Level in accessible entry via paved ramp which leads from a couple of spots of accessible (aka ADA) parking. Other parking is down-slope of the tasting room with a flight of stairs up. Tasting room hours 11-5, seven days a week. TASTING SET UP: For only $5 you can taste from a preselected set of six wines on a fixed card, or choose any five wines from their extensive list. We much prefer the latter format and appreciated we could choose our own. (The tasting fee is refunded with purchase.) HOSPITALITY: On a scale of 1 to 5, Brittany (the tasting room hostess) gets 10 for congeniality and knowledge. She made the visit delightful all around. THE WINES: Montinore wines are organic and produced with biodynamic methods. Varietals available to taste include Pinot Noir (several), a blended red of estate grown Italian varietals and Pinot Noir (see below), Pinot Gris, Riesling (several), Muller-Thurgau, Gerwirtztraminer, a blended white called Borealis using the estate grown white varietals, Port of Pinot Noir and dessert wines. We particularly enjoyed and purchased the following... ...Almost Dry Riesling, a great acid balance and a very nice wine for summer or with spicy food. ...a delectable Port of estate grown Pinot Noir, which they send to the fabulous Clear Creek Distillery in Portland for fortification. (Delightful neighbor David Hill Winery does this with their great Port too. And we who drink Port are all better for the winery and Clear Creek partnerships!) ...a blended red of estate grown Lagrein, Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir) and Teroldego called Rosso di Marchesi after owner Rudy Marchesi (who came to Oregon via the Bronx and New Jersey). My Sicilian hertiage husband (who came to Oregon via Brooklyn and New Jersey) was eager to try the Rosso given he loves the northern Italian varietal Teroldego which is little planted in the U.S. Bottled as varietal, Teroldego is medium bodied, lower in tannins and intended to be consumed while young. (Think Zin meets cherry tart Pinot.) The addition of the Lagrein (another northern Italian varietal ) with more acid and tannins and Pinot Noir work well in this blend. Drinkable now andt will likely be better in a year or two. We bought some of this first time release and look forward to the next release tool. THIS N THAT: 1) VERJUS: We appreciate that Montinore is one of the handful of Oregon wineries to produce Verjus. This unfermented juice of unripe grapes and makes a wonderful cooking ingredient for salad dressings, sauces (in particular for fish) or in braises. Montinore's is particularly a good one and a good value at $20. (Verjus article here for those interested. http://www.oregonlive.com/foodday/index.ssf/2011/10/reinventing_verjus_for_the_nor.html ) My hubby is fond of using verjus for salad dressings as unlike vinegar it won't fight wine served with a salad course. 2) NAME: Although one might assume Mon ti NOR ay as pronunciation given the founder's last name is Marchesi, the folks at Ardiri Winery (another winner) told us it is Monte NOR. For Montana and Oregon. 3) MMMMMMMMM.....They sell a Pinot Noir and cocoa chocolate sauce. Recommended but you'll need to resist the urge to drink this from the bottle.

It's not every day you get to sample premium sake. To be truthful, I never really knew much about…read moresake, other than the good stuff is best served cold. My usual M.O. with sake is a small, hot carafe when I have sushi. But my experience here has made me rethink this incredible beverage. I opted for the Daiginjo flight, which I highly recommend. Daiginjo is the best form of sake, with the process polishing down the rice grain to 50% or less of its original volume. The ones I had ranged from 40% to 50%. I'm not sure exactly what this does, but I can sure tell you, it makes a massive difference in the smoothness and taste. The first 3 sakes in the sampler are from Japan; the last is their exclusive sake made right in Forest Grove. Here's my take on the sakes I had: The Murai Family was aromatic and slightly floral. The Hakutsuru: smooth, slight fruitiness, subtle, with an interesting aftertaste on the back sides of my tongue. The Yoshi No Gawa was smoother with a slight tang at the back of my tongue. And last but not least, the in-house Nagata had a nice balance of bold, silky, and fruity/floral. I even admired its "legs" as I did a swirl to see viscosity. After the flight, I decided on a cocktail, the Blackberry Lime Martini. Tart, sweet, deliciousness. When I left, I bought a bottle of Sho-Une, which didn't break the bank, but is supposed to be great for the price point. I'm saving it for a special occasion. I'm looking forward to visiting this fine establishment again.

Both locations are very beautiful and all I can say is you actually need to visit both! This winery is military based, and although we are not military, we love what this place is founded on and what they support. The forest Grove location is a cute little hole in the wall winery and I believe you can sit outside as well. It is in the heart of downtown Forest Grove so everything is in walking distance! The old Highway 47 location is perched up on a hill just down the road from Henry Haag Lake and if you look closely, you can see, Helens and one other mountain. You sit back relax look over the vineyards and if you're lucky there might be somebody playing some live music. They also have seating options for inside the highway location, which has AC and heat depending on the weather. You should definitely try out dauntless wine! You won't regret it.
