Pre-Easter Pop-up Petting Zoo

3/31/2018

0 Comments

 
The amazing Elaine, Lady Hill Proprietress, Mother of 9, and an original farm girl, missed having chickens and sheep on the farm so she called in the troops to pull together a Pop-Up Petting Zoo. It was a great way to kick off the Easter weekend and spring, officially. The kids became part of the pet menagerie while the adults sampled a line-up of perfect pairings for the Easter Buffet, including two new release wines:
  • 2016 Lady Hill Pinot Blanc, St. Columban Estate Vineyard
  • 2015 Lady Hill Pinot Noir, Yamhill Carlton

Spring, Officially.

Elaine's Nettle Pesto

3/20/2018

0 Comments

 
Picture
One of the earliest spring greens to emerge are stinging nettles. Nettles provides a mild leafy ingredient much like spinach. They also make a wonderful tea dense in nutrients.

Though abundant in the Northwest, they are prevalent in many parts of the country. Look for them in wet marshy areas and along creek banks. Be sure to wear gloves in the picking and preparation process. Once exposed to heat and steam, they do lose their sting - really!

We like to make Pesto from nettle leaves; a lovely light topping for salmon, white fish, and nearly any noodle. Consider "beefing up" the pesto for red meat selections by substituting some of the nettle measurement with parsley, cilantro, and or oregano. Maybe a bit more garlic as well.

FOOD & WINE PAIRINGS:
Lady Hill Pinot Blanc and Oregon Ling Cod
Lady Hill Cuvée Elfrieda Zorn and grilled, aged Rib-eye

Spring and Other Greens

3/20/2018

0 Comments

 
​Our newest releases include four wines that are perfectly suited to help you transition from the cool, grey tones of winter into the bright green and yellow pops of spring.

For the cold, dark weekend nights that remain: braised beef ribs over creamy polenta accompanied by the complex layers of Procedo Credente. For the occasional dry, almost warm evening when there is still light outside following a day of hard work: grilled, aged ribeye and the Bordeaux-inspired Elfrieda Zorn. As the snow in the mountains gives way to the moist undergrowth of Oregon's fir and pine forests, there's no better way to spend the day than hunting...Morel mushrooms. Sauté while sipping Thistle Vineyard Pinot Noir and awaiting the crispy roast duck to come out of the oven. And as the temperatures warm and you find yourself soaking up the evening sunshine on the patio, it's time to enjoy the fragrant aromas of spring in your glass; Lady Hill Pinot Blanc, with a wheel of creamy brie cheese followed by a light dinner of Oregon lingcod. 

Please enjoy the wines and let us know how they have inspired your pairings. You and your glass count as a pair as well!

Lady Hill Pinot Blanc

St. Columban Estate Vineyard,
​Willamette Valley
100% Pinot Blanc

Light glistening hues of ivory and cream radiate from the glass. Alongside aromas of lemon zest and slate lie tropical hints of peach and nectarine, a ripe and fragrant welcome to this classically austere varietal. A hint of sweetness from just under 0.5% residual sugar adds mid-palate weight to flavors of Asian pear, nectarine and lemon grass.

Food & Wine Pairing: brie cheese, Oregon ling cod or just a warm day on the patio.

2015
​Lady Hill Pinot Noir

Thistle Vineyard, Dundee Hills
100% Pinot Noir

This ancient volcanic influence provides hues of candy red to crimson around the rim and a bouquet filled with classic aromas of red raspberry and black tea. Flavors are concentrated into a core of cherry and red plum, evolving and opening into floral hints of rose petal and a drying barrel spice. The finish of this wine is soft as satin with just the right amount of juicy acidity.

Food & Wine Pairing: duck breast with crispy skin, a fresh harvest of sautéed morels, or baked brie with fig jam
Picture
2014
Procedo Credente
Red Willow Vineyard,
​Columbia Valley
81% Sangiovese, 19% Cabernet Franc

Aromas of red and black cherries, a hint of blue fruits and a solid lift of tobacco leaf and cinnamon red-hot candies. The herbal balance of the Cabernet Franc is used both as a tool to lighten and  lift aromatics, and to soften the structured acid-tannin complex of the mouthfeel. Flavors of Bing cherry and a delectable barrel sweetness lead into a juicy and complex finish.

Food & Wine Pairing: braised beef ribs over creamy polenta, or a selection of Italian hard cheeses.
Picture
2014
Lady Hill Elfrieda Zorn

Red Willow Vineyard,
Columbia Valley
54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 
35% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc

Tart red cherries and plum leading into sweet vanilla and a subtle barrel spice. Cabernet Sauvignon packs a dense core of berry and envelopes the blend in tannins. Merlot fills the insides, oozing plum jelly and softening the edges with sweetness. In unison walks Cabernet Franc, bright red dropping hints of Herb de Provence, tobacco and leaving behind a juicy lingering acidity.

Food & Wine Pairing: grilled, aged ribeye

True Northwest in History & Spirit
There was a time when “Oregon Country” meant the entire Pacific Northwest. Running north from the border of California and taking in what is now Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and British Columbia, “The Northwest” was one vast contiguous territory. As a wine region, it still is. Wine grapes, after all, know no borders.
​
We are crafting wines that express the diverse character of the Pacific Northwest wine countries. Neither an "Oregon winery" nor a "Washington winery," we work with heritage vineyards and growers--wherever they are in the Northwest—who understand that wine is made in the vineyard. Be it Pinot Noir, Cabernet, Syrah or Barbera, our vineyard partners produce the finest fruit for the wines which we delight in sharing.
​
The Pacific Northwest is one of the most exciting and dynamic wine regions in the New World. Our higher latitude means we get more sunlight than Napa Valley during the growing season and the coolness of our nights delivers dramatic diurnal shifts that allow grapes to naturally retain acidity and achieve fresh varietal character.
​
​Carefully fashioned with a love for the region, respect for the heritage of the land, and a commitment to preserve it for future generations, Lady Hill wines express the authentic spirit of the True Northwest. ​
Picture
Our line-up originates from vineyards throughout Oregon's Willamette Valley and Washington's Columbia Valley. Lady Hill wines, while from the Northwest Territory in origin, are inspired by the best of Bordeaux, the Rhône, Burgundy, and Italy. ​
