Fun Music, Good Wine- what else do you need in Oregon?

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

Thanks to all that came out this past weekend to our 3rd annual “Cheeseburger in Paradise Party”.  The music by the Shwing Daddies got everybody dancing around the 3-tiered concert area on the Pond.  A perfect night to drink some fine Oregon wines.  We are proud to host the events which over look 2 of our 5 estate vineyards- just 30 minutes from downtown Portland Oregon.  The most popular wines for this past Saturday night were our easy drinking Merlot and our special Gewurztraminer which we call “L’Esprit”. (That’s much easier to say than Gewurz……)  The Merlot is a 2005 from right here in the Willamette Valley.  Light and easy to drink it has a full berry nose and mellow finish.  The LEsprit is made in a slightly sweet style and carbonated before bottling- making it a great picnic wine for a summer night.

Our next event is on Saturday Aug 29th from 6-9 pm.  A great band called “RUST” is back by popular demand!- playing 80s rock with some fantastic vocal work.  Come out & join us and enjoy the wines on the “Crush Pad Patio” and music on the pond.  There aren’t too many settings better than this….

Music & Wine on the pond- just outside of Portland OR

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

Thanks to all that attended our first concert of the summer (Sat July 11th)!  If you missed it we had a couple hundred intrepid souls who ’suffered’ through great music, good wine & unbelievable weather @ Jo-Lilli pond.  The night was fabulous with a fun band – Jawbone Flats- who streamed the music live across the world.  We had phone calls from North Carolina and the Midwest who listened in to the show.  One of them asked us to turn up the music (I am not a techie-but wouldn’t that be easier from your laptop/stereo?).  Perhaps that was due to the ‘dead-head’ & ‘little feat’ covers that the band mixed in with original material.

An evening show at the pond, with a sunset, wine & friends is a tough way to spend a summer Saturday night in Oregon’s Willamette Valley.  And thanks to all the folks that traveled the 30 minutes out from Portland.  We are really sorry there were no sirens, traffic or snooty wine geeks to add to the evening.

Next up for music on the pond is Saturday July 25th with “Colonel Angus & His Privates”.  Party Time rock n roll – so a fun time should be had by all. Music is from 6-9 with $5 cover for adults.  Limited food (BBQ) & picnic plates, beer & wines by the glass are available. (no outside beverages please).  Join us!

And if you have any pictures of the event (my battery went dead) or ideas on how to make the evening better please contact us – info@stjosefswinery.com
