Lawrence Gallery and The Private Reserve Tasting Room

The Private Reserve tasting room inside the Lawrence Gallery hosted us for a tasting this last Saturday. We poured our 2005 Pinot Noir to guests out tasting Oregon wines on the Thanksgiving weekend.

There weren't that many tasters, but it didn't matter. It was completely worthwhile to make the connections.

We met the gallery owners and had a nice conversation with them. We talked about art and wine (go figure), and the combination of the two... specifically we discussed the possibility of using art from their gallery on my wine labels. There are a couple of specific paintings which could work nicely. The trick would be determining which wine and how it fits into the overall brand image. But it's something to contemplate.

Also, The Private Reserve purchased some of my 2005 Pinot Noir to add to their selective shelf of Oregon Pinot. This is our first retail placement.

In the grand scheme of things, I think this was a very valuable way to spend the Thanksgiving weekend.
