Multnomah - Springhill Cellars - Mt Hood Winery
Sunday, August 27, 2017, 06:00 PM
I went down early and had the coffee at 6:30 which is a very
good coffee. Breakfast started the day with an egg over easy
with hollandaise sauce and flat iron steak. We then went first
to Multnomah falls at 9 AM before going to Spring Hill Cellars
where we had 5 glasses of wine. The blonde owner gave us a nice
talk about her winery and how this was a dream to run a winery.
Surprisingly i liked the First wine served, a dry Reisling. Next
stop was Mt Hood Winery for a box lunch of a turkey sandwich and
5 more tastings of wine. The owner there had the same sotry,
Their dream is to be wineaker but their main cash crop is pears.
Back at the boat in the evening the dinner was Alaskan King Crab
with the Reisling from Springhill Cellars. We played a wine tasting game today
where we had 3 wines to guess the varietal. I can't tell one fromm the other.
I also can't tell these imaginary flavors they are coming up with such as nose
of fruit or an after taste of raspberry or a fruity finish. i can tell dry from
sweet and definitely like the drier much better, especially a well oaked red
wine such as Rodney Strong Cabernet which is my favorite. After dinner we had a
nice lemoncello dessert with an apertif of a blend that was fortified. We had 2
glasses of that it was so good.
