Introducing innovation in wine tasting events for business and private residences.



Introducing SOUL OF WINE, STATES OF MIND.



In 2025, we invite you to taste beyond the glass—where wines are not just sipped, but felt. A series of wine-tasting experiences wine tasting in Lake Oswego and Portland based on seasonal moods and states of mind. 



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, being 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. 



March/April: Anticipation and Courage

Chat: The buds are on the brink of bursting, and so are you. March and April are about leaning forward, sensing the first whispers of spring’s arrival, and embracing the possibilities ahead. Winemaking mirrors this beautifully: vines freshly pruned, roots reaching deep, and winemakers waiting with both bated breath and bold hearts. This is a season of courage, of venturing into the unknown with determination. The wines we’ve selected echo these states of mind—bold reds that demand patience and attention to sip slowly, whites and Cava sparklers that linger after a long wait, and vintages crafted by visionaries who dared to dream across generations. Raise a glass to the power of anticipation and the beauty of bravery.


May/June: Pride and Joy

May and June are months of unapologetic celebration—of life’s victories, big and small, and of the pride that comes from living authentically. As spring melts into summer, the world blooms with vibrant colors and radiant energy, inviting us to honor our unique selves and the joy of simply being. June, as Pride Month, reminds us of the courage it takes to embrace who we truly are, to stand tall in our truth, and to toast the freedom of self-expression. Our wines for the month are floral but also organic, biodynamic or Fair Trade. Effervescence, mai ouis!


For Pride and Joy, we’ve chosen wines as creative and authentic as the people who inspire us. Think innovative Cremants that lift your spirit, exuberant rosés that embody love in all its forms, and sunny white wines with depth and complexity, just like the stories that shape us. These are wines to savor with pride, to share with joy, and to celebrate the beauty of being unapologetically yourself.


July/August: Fun and Adventure

Summer is calling—bright, bold, and brimming with possibilities. July and August are your playground, a season to revel in the warmth of the sun, the rhythm of ocean waves, and the laughter that lingers long after twilight fades. These are months for embracing spontaneity, taking a leap into the unknown, and chasing the thrill of discovery. Whether you’re embarking on an unexpected road trip, trying something new, or simply soaking in the joys of the season, the adventure is yours to define.


For Fun and Adventure, we’ve curated wines that are as spirited as summer itself. Zesty whites that tingle with citrus and sea breeze, spicy reds that bring a touch of the unexpected to your bbq’s and picnics, and curious Prosecco that reminds you to laugh freely and celebrate boldly. These are wines for late-night bonfires, impromptu picnics, and the thrill of savoring life in full bloom. Wherever summer takes you, these bottles are your perfect companions for the ride.


September/October: Peace and Awe

As autumn’s colors ignite and the air turns crisp, we’re drawn into a season of quiet marvel. There’s a profound sense of wonder—sparked by the fiery beauty of nature, the brilliance of human creativity, or the simple act of noticing life’s finer details. These months invite reflection, a chance to be fully present, and to savor the transitions all around us. Our senses awaken, and with them, a deeper appreciation for the artistry in every moment.


For Peace and Awe, we’ve selected wines as magnificent as the season itself—wines that demand your attention, not your haste. Silken reds with layers to explore, whites with subtle complexity, and vintages crafted with care and patience. These are bottles to sip slowly, to pair with thoughtful conversation, or simply to accompany the meditative stillness of watching leaves fall. Let the lingering warmth of summer guide you into autumn’s tranquil embrace, one nurturing glass at a time.


November/December: Gratitude, Celebration, and Empathy

As the year winds down, November and December bring us to a place of deep appreciation. It’s a season to reflect, to celebrate achievements, and to honor the people and experiences that have enriched our lives. These months are not just about marking milestones, but about celebrating with purpose—gathering with those who matter most, and connecting in ways that foster both joy and understanding. There’s a refined elegance to this time of year, where empathy meets celebration, creating moments that are both meaningful and memorable.


For Gratitude, Celebration, and Empathy, we’ve selected wines that speak to the occasion. Grand Cru Margaux, rare vintages, and varietals that demand attention—not for show, but for their ability to elevate the experience. Well-balanced wines with impressive character, made to be shared among those who appreciate the finer things in life. These wines are crafted for those who celebrate not just success, but the depth of connection and the richness of human experience.
