Announcing SOUL OF WINE, STATES OF MIND, our wine-tasting portfolio for 2025
In 2025, we invite you to taste beyond the glass—where wines are not just sipped, but felt. A series of wine-tasting experiences based on seasonal moods and states of mind. Wine Tasting Events in Lake Oswego with Glow and Love for Valentines Day
The wines we curate are vessels of emotion; each bottle sharing a story, a spirit, a soulful message. More than aroma, more than color, more than flavor. We will be sharing the essence within, the mood that lingers, the character that leaves its mark long after the last drop. The meaning of well-earned creation stories, having passed through generations.
C’EST WHAT? Wine and Sensory will guide your teams and clients through memorable wine flights during the year, each capturing a distinct emotion—a spark of Courage, the warmth of Joy, the Pride of being authentic, the thrill of Adventure. Five wines per flight, each experience unfolding over 60-90 minutes, like a dance of senses and stories intertwined. Perfect for off-site strategy and innovation workshops, or resident events in luxury buildings.
Join us in this poetic journey, as we explore how wines echo the emotions we hold. Come, be part of something deeper.
January/February: Glow and Love:
Ah, the first months of the year—a time to bask in a comforting glow, much like the radiant friend who always sees the best in everyone. It’s a season for fresh starts and tender-hearted optimism, even when the days are cold and the challenges feel steep. Love—be it romantic, platonic, or self-directed—isn’t always easy, but it’s deeply rewarding. This is your time to sparkle, to give, to serenade the world with random acts of kindness. And, of course, to savor wines that embody warmth and allure. For Glow and Love, we’ve chosen wines that shimmer with vibrant aromatics, wines that embrace you like an old friend or whisper softly of romance. Andre Clouet Chalky Champagne from the Grand Cru of Bouzy, glows with flavors of marzipan, toasted brioche, baked pears, and apple sauce pairs well with fried fish and, of course, caviar. The Jean Phillipe Cremant de Limoux made in Methode Champenoise offers notes of fresh strawberries and peaches which pairs well with crab salad or sole en papillote. Our Scacciadiavoli Sagrantino Montefalco is voluptuous with deep tones of cassis, Italian herbs, balsamic, berry jams, and pipe tobacco which pairs well with roasted winter meats and stews. Heavenly and plan for a major nap. Two more surprise wines will be announced soon for wine-tasting events and classes in Lake Oswego. For starters, you can taste these wines at City Home, Lake Oswego, Thursday January 16, 4:00-6:00 PM. Cheers!
