We Did It Again! Portland Indie Wine Festival
The Fifth Annual Portland Indie Wine Festival is right around the corner and we are so excited that we, once again, were chosen to participate! This will be ArborBrook's third year as a selected participant!
The Portland Indie Wine Festival is the signature event for the Indie Wine Foundation - a non-profit dedicated to the sponsorship and promotion of craft winemaking in Oregon.
The festival was conceived with you in mind, the wine loving consumer, at the heart of the experience. You will meet a special selection of 40 Oregon small craft wineries, many of them releasing their wines for the first time. All wines for the festival go through a rigorous blind tasting by a group of acclaimed wine judges – nationally recognized sommeliers, retailers, wine trade representatives and writers. This blind tasting selection ensures that you will taste Oregon’s best wines from the latest vintage.
To complement the wine tasting, meeting the winemakers and mingling with friends, a dozen of Oregon’s top chefs serve up small plates and appetizers to pair with the featured wines.
The Portland Indie Wine Festival is a delicious experience to see, sip and savor. Buy your tickets online beginning February 1, 2009. We hope to see you there!

New Releases Coming Soon!
Those of you who were able to join us at the Calkins Lane Event held last Saturday, April 4, got a sneak peek at our 2008 Croft Vineyards Pinot Gris! This gorgeous, stainless-fermented Pinot Gris is truly exceptional this year!
Sourced exclusively from the organically-farmed Croft Vineyard located near Monmouth, Oregon, this classic Pinot Gris greets you with clean, crisp citrus notes accented with hints of apple and orange blossom. Beginning with traces of lemon and pear and finishing with mild hints of lime and citrus peel. $18/bottle, available now!
Coming soon ~ 2007 Vintner's Select Pinot Noir and 2007 "Sydney" Semillon! These two amazing wines will be released at our Private Tasting on May 16. Be sure not to miss out on these limited-production, hand-crafted wines!
Check out our great wines!
