When we think of Burgundy, France, we think Pinot Noir. When we think of Oregon, we think … trail. As in The Oregon Trail, the DOS-friendly computer game that kept thumbs glued to keyboards throughout the Eighties via oxen-pulled sunsets over Chimney Rock, rapid rivers, and bountiful wild fruit. But when the staff at Grove Isle Hotel and Spa’s award-winning restaurant Baleen thought of Oregon — the only region other than Burgundy with soil rich enough to grow the caliber of grape necessary to create a quality Pinot Noir — they came up with On the Trail of Oregon Pinot Noir event. Creatively stepping beyond the concept of red with meat and white with poultry, this exclusive night takes place every third Wednesday of the month and treats a maximum of 40 people to a truly memorable culinary experience. Tonight’s pour begins with chilled raspberry varieties and then accelerates into full-bodied classics from Joseph Drouhin’s winery. Each Pinot Noir is complemented by gourmet cuisine inspired by Oregon’s signature wine and natural bounty. Let’s hope we don’t get a heaping plate of salted buffalo, which Lewis and Clark ate on their way west. Call 305-857-5007 for reservations.
