OregonWines.com: A to Z: "Aristocratic Wines at Democratic Prices"
Great wine, affordable price. You can't help but love a marketing message like that. I'm talking, of course, about A to Z Wineworks, and the tagline that appears on their wine bottles and web site. This past weekend, with temperatures topping 90F in Beaverton, we had the chance to enjoy a wonderful bottle of A to Z's 2006 Pinot Gris, while taking in the hot sun. Cold, delicately fruity, just a hint of something sweet -- all perfect for battling that fierce fireball in the sky. Purchased...
OregonWines.com: Pinot and Poultry - a Perfect Pairing
Thanksgiving is rapidly approaching, and with it the time of year when Holiday meals abound. As the weather cools down, nothing can warm you up better than a fresh roasted turkey or chicken, right out of the oven. And, wouldn't you know, Oregon's wineries have just the thing to pair up against that bird: Pinot Noir. With its lush, fruity aromas and complex structure, Pinot Noir complements most any holiday dish. And yet, paired up against turkey, chicken, or duck, it's like nothing else. S...

OregonWines.com: Home Winemaking "Season" Approaches
As summer draws to an end, we are reminded of the upcoming grape harvest. We've had many inquiries lately from home vintners looking to source grapes. Mostly red varietals, some white... we have a section on our message board designed to help wineries selling grapes, and interested parties, to pair up. We would have expected more posts to it, but the season is still young. So it seems that interest in home winemaking is picking up. And, why shouldn't it? Oregon produces world-class grapes, an...


on 16th Street is another one of San Francisco’s finest wine bars. They are awesome because they offer small plates with big flavors. This is one of the San Francisco wine bars that has an approachable wine list and offers 35 wines by the glass. The crowd there is mixed and energetic.

Wine bars don’t usually come as good, or as small, as Bacchus on Hyde Street. Bacchus has knowledgeable bartenders that make innovative saké cocktails and they pour over 50 wines that range in price from under $10 a glass to more than $200 a bottle. The signature drink at Bacchus is their sake-version of the mojito.

Cav is one of the wine bars in San Francisco that takes itself extremely seriously. Cav has a well-chosen wine list of over 300 international wines. Some of the wines on the list are offered by a taste, or the glass. The chef has crafted unique takes on lots of dishes and Cav actually offers a cheese course that is served at the proper temperature and is on par with some of the finer restaurants in San Francisco.

Wine bars like Piccolo on Fillmore street handpick the wines on their wine lists. Piccolo is one of the wine bars that choose limited availability and small production wines. They prefer to concentrate on Italian wines. The owner of Piccolo has wonderful antipasti on his menu. There is fierce competition between wine bars to have the most excellent food to accompany their spirits.

Varnish Fine Art is both an art gallery and one of the top wine bars in San Francisco. The atmosphere at Varnish Fine Art is comfortable and it draws a post-work crowd for beer or wine during happy hour. The wine list at Varnish Fine Art is well chosen and features a number of delicious fine wines, as well as soju and saké cocktails.
