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.

I have had a chance to visit a few wineries in the last few months and wanted to quickly let you in on them. I will try to post better detailed summaries in the future on them. Stone Wolf is a label we all see in the stores and I was surprised at the quality of the wine. In my experience, usually the grocery store wines are cheaply made and don't have the time put in to them so you don't get much out of them. Stone...http://www.oregonwines.com/article.php?ArticleID=366 OregonWines.com: The Cellar on 10th: Update for July 25, 2005- (Found June 29, 2008 ) Located at the corner of 10th & Marine Drive, In the Astoria Underground - Downtown Astoria 1004 Marine Drive 503-325-6600 Check out whats new at the Cellar on 10th: Several new arrivals at the CellarNorthwest arrivals included from Zerba Cellars, they do it again with the debut of their new white wines, their 2004 Columbia Valley Viognier ($22); and their single vineyard Lewis Vineyard Chardonnay ($16.99); and the newly released 2003 Syrah ($32).
