The big wine event of the year! As many of you know, we do not have a tasting room at the vineyard as yet (it will happen one day) so being able to participate in Oregon's biggest wine event is a problem for us. However, we were very fortunate to be able to team with Smith Berry Barn to provide a venue with an excellent location right in the middle of the North Willamette Valley wine trail area. 
If you are partcipating in a wine tour this year, we invite you to drop by. We would love to see you all. To entice you we will be pairing our Pinot Noir with just-harvested Smith Berry Barn strawberries dipped in chocolate. One caveat, mother nature has to get the strawberries ripe in time! TIME: 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily, May 29, 30 and 31st. LOCATION: Next to the town of Scholls at 24500 SW Scholls Ferry Road. |

Penny Wilcox has joined our team to assist in marketing and sales! With her many years experience in retail sales management in multiple industries, a critical void in our sales effort is filled. I am delighted she has joined us, it is a great opportunity for Provincial Vineyards and I hope for Penny as well. Her first assignment is to prepare us for and then man (woman) the Provincial Vineyards wine table (at Smith Berry Barn in Scholls) during the Memorial Day weekend. Penny is a born and raised Oregonian (she even understands why people prefer to stay in the rain state). When you meet her try and stump her on Oregon culture, place names etc. She is amazing. Welcome Penny! |

McMinnville - Trip Report! |

Last Saturday I attended downtown McMinnville's monthly "Third Saturday Art and Wine Walk" where I poured samples for Wednesdays Wine, a wine retail shop on 3rd Ave. It was a wonderful experience. I met so may people, mostly residents of McMinnville and area but a few tourists and local business owners as well. The store manager, Kathy Campbell, offers local and international wines and an olive oil bar where patrons can draw olive oil from bulk offerings by the ounce. What a cool idea. Another feature was a co-located artisan cheese bar, Abbie and Oliver. I met Andrea McEvay owner operator of the bar who also helped me with the wine pour setup and managed the purchase transactions. She introduced me to an Italian cheese (Grana Padano) that goes superbly with Pinot Noir wine. It seems to enhances the fruit character, hard to explain you have to try it. It was great, I ended up buying some to take home. As an appitizer I take a small piece of it and munch it as I enjoy what else, our PV Pinot Noir before dinner. The pour was an unbridled success. I sold more wine then I anticipated and into a slow market ( after the hoildays). Andrea commented that I had sold more, a lot more, than what is typical for a wine representative. I feel it is because the customers want to know about the wine, the viticulture that is the foundation for a great wine and how the wine is made. For me it is fun to talk about my labor of love, I enjoy every minute of it! I look forward to returning to the Art and Wine walk in the near future. Especially now that Wednesdays Wine stocks our Pinot Noir. If you are in the area, drop by and see Kathy and Andrea they are small business at its best. www.downtownmcminnville.com/ www.wednesdaywines.com/ Neil Frederickson |
