[WINE] Montinore Estate

We cracked open the wine we received from Karen & Perry for Christmas last night for our fish dinner :-) The bottle is Montinore Estate 2006 Riesling Semi Dry Wine from Oregon, and it has their beautiful logo on the label! The logo is done in watercolor with Montinore's "M" merged with the image of a root growing underneath. The logo was so pretty that I had to look them up and check what other types of wine they have...

Montinore Estate is a family-owned and operated winery in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Their wine is made from high quality and sustainable grown grapes, and they are bottled at their estate.

They grow and make Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Müller, and Gewürztraminer all at their estate. It would be cool to go wine tasting sometime up there!

Their Riesling Semi Dry wine was very fruity and refreshing. It tasted almost like Champagne. Perfect spring wine :-) Thanks Karen & Perry

Hey! So glad you two finally had a chance to uncork the Montinore and enjoy! I, too, love that logo! Maybe even better than the wine... then again, maybe it's a tie!

Hello Karen!!
I agree. I bet their logo/packaging plays a huge part in point of purchase :) I love it! It definitely makes a beautiful gift and feels very special. Thank you guys!!

After visiting their website and reading more about their wine, I'm now curious to try their Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris :) Yumm

I'll see if I can find the Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris at a wine shop up here for you. :)
