Dish on Wine
Each month, Pheasant Valley will highlight a wine and list some ideas for food items that best compliment that particular wine. We hope you enjoy and bon appetite.

Buying a calendar and promising to lose weight may be the most common acts most people make around the New Year. How's your resolution holding up? Here's some help, a grilled vegetable salad accompanied with olive oil can be healthy, filling and tasty. Add in a bottle of Pheasant Valley's newly released 2004 Merlot and you have yourself a meal. Merlot has the body and tannins to stand up to the flavor of grilling and the richness of the olive oil.

Looking ahead to the spring harvest, our latest pear wines and other exciting new releases, we hope to add to the Pheasant Valley Vineyard family. We encourage you to take the time to visit with friends and family to enjoy one of Oregon's emerging and most welcoming wineries.

Come celebrate St. Patrick's Day with us! March 18th 1-5. In the tradition of our Irish Heritage, (McIlvaney, Shaw, Carlin, McNichols) we're going to kick up our heels and have some fun! Stop by the winery for a wee bit of wine! Music by "Cobblestone". Tasty treats for your enjoyment.

You'll enjoy our new releases: Pinot Green (Gris)! The winemaker is particularly happy about this vintage. It's sure to be an award winner! We also have a few more surprises up our sleeve, so be sure and stop by! All you blush fans will love our "River City Pink"

It was a big hit at the Newport Seafood and Wine Fest, where we received 3 bronze medals for our River City Red, Vintage Select Gewurztraminer, and Merlot. We had many comments that Pheasant Valley had the best Merlot at the event.

We have many events planned designed to meet new faces and welcome back old friends. Drop by or visit us online and stay connected as we enjoy another wonderful year.
 

Cases, cases and more cases
We've rolled up our sleeves and bottled more than 2000 cases of wine. Syrah, Cab, River City Pink, Riesling, Vintage Select Gewurztraminer, and Pinot Green (Gris). We're looking forward to submitting our wines in future competitions, we think their award winning!

Grape Resolutions
Below are five wine-inspired resolutions for 2006. Try one or all five and add to your wine tasting experience.

1. Try more wines : We all have our favorites. We all deem ourselves to be 'red' or 'white' wine drinkers. But this only limits your palate to a narrow scope of selections, in a world offering over 5,000 grape varieties. Take a chance and uncork a bottle outside your comfort zone and enjoy the results.
   
2. Create a wine budget: Weekly or monthly, setting a budget for new wines will add to the experience. Research vineyards and different wines and spend a little money on expanding your collection. Taking the time to budget your wine choices usually leads to better selections.
   
3. Seek the advice of others: Larger grocery stores usually have a wine sommelier on hand who can offer advice on food pairings or just point you in the direction of some of the better offerings available. Neighbors, friends and family can all be guides to a new world of wines, which may have failed to catch your eye.
   
4. Tour the wine country: The Columbia River Gorge, the Willamette Valley, Southern Oregon. When spring roles around wine tours hit full swing. Oregon has a vast selection of vineyard-rich areas, as do Washington and California. Choose a region and hit the road.
   
5. Be prepared: Plan for those unexpected visits from friends, special moments with loved ones or just a long workweek by having a chilled wine waiting. Setting aside space in your refrigerator designated for your next bottle or two you can prove to be quite handy.
