Adelsheim Spring Barrel Tasting - March 16, 2008

Our Spring Barrel Tasting offers not only an exciting preview of what's to come with the next vintage, but it also gives our winemaking team an opportunity to showcase our beautiful caves to our friends and neighbors.

This year our Winemaker Dave Paige and Assistant Winemaker Erik Kramer were joined by David Adelsheim in the caves to distribute and talk about wine samples from an assortment of barrel selections.

Our guests not only got to enjoy fabulous wines that are still evolving in the barrel, but they got to experience a classroom-like education from our engaging winemaking team.

Also highlighted was a very special tasting of the 2006 Quarter Mile Lane Pinot noir — the only public opportunity to taste this exceptional single vineyard wine.

As with any Adelsheim barrel tasting event, an assortment of cheese, pates & charcuterie were available to sample.

Founded by David Adelsheim and Ginny Adelsheim in 1971, the winery began with a 15-acre site on the southern slopes of the Chehalem Mountains.

After 30 vintages, the Adelsheim estate vineyards now comprise eleven sites totaling 192 acres and a cutting-edge winery allowing for gentle, “hands-off” winemaking methods.
