This beautiful sample we received from Quinta da Fonte Souto, the @symingtonfamilyestates winery in Alto Alentejo Portugal is 75% Arinto and 25% Verdelho.
_____ We paired it with seared scallops in a citrus butter sprinkled with toasted hazelnuts on a cauliflower puree.
_____ It was a spectacular pairing and easier to put together than you might think! We've included the recipe in the post!

#sample We sipped on this 2019 Frenchtown Red Wine

#sample
We sipped on this 2019 Frenchtown Red Wine from L'Ecole No. 41 and paired it with tacos!
This wine is a blend of both Bordeaux and Rhône varieties from the Columbia Valley in Washington.
It has great complexity, and is a tremendous value at $22!
I was experimenting a bit and made a Rhône inspired salsa with berries, black plum, red and yellow peppers, herbs du Provençe and white balsamic, which went beautifully with the wine!

#sponsoredvisit
More of the Mosaic of the Umpqua Valley as day two of our visit takes us another 7 area wineries here in the Southern part of Oregon!
_____ The second day of our visit to the Umpqua Valley, sponsored by @umpquawineries & the
@oregonwineboard had us tasting a wide array of varieties, from Bordeaux blends at @spanglervineyards to Spanish varieties at @abacelawinery .
_____ @delfinos had a Müller Thurgau and a Dolcetto, and @melrosevineyards spoiled us with amazing hospitality, a great lunch and opened everything for us.
_____ Dyson DeMara at @hillcrestwinery gave us the history of Oregon’s oldest estate winery, and Scott O’Brien the winemaker at @paulobrienwines, the urban winery in Roseburg, dipped into some barrel samples for us.
_____ Our last tasting of the day was in @trellavineyards historic tasting room on Jackson Street, followed
by a stroll up the block to @catch22fishnchips, a British style fish-n-chips place in a renovated church.
We were really able to get a sense of this region with this visit! With the wide range of soils and
landscapes, the array of varieties they can grow well is extensive. If you are looking for variety, this is
the place!
Special thanks to the @zephyr_wine for offering this as one of the 2021 Pre-Conference excursions.
