I wish I could give Holly and Jim ten stars instead of just the five offered.
While entertaining a guest (my wifes best friend since seventh grade), we had the very good fortune to visit Blooming Hill Vineyard in Cornelius, Oregon.
The proprietors (Holly and Jim) were two of the most charming, and delightful people it has been our pleasure to meet since moving to Oregon six years ago.
We have visited many wineries in both Oregon and Washing since our relocation.
Never before was I tempted to join the wine club at any of them (including the ones we ranked among the best) simply because where we may have liked some or even most of what we tasted in the flights we purchased, there was always that one, two, or three than did not sit well on our palates.
Unlike those others, every single wine we tasted was more than we could have expected.
As the discussion of joining the club at Blooming Hill arose, I had my pen in my hand and told my wife, "there is no doubt in my mind that we need to join this club".
We did, and look forward to driving out four times a year to pick up that quarter's selection.
The winery is located on a beautiful hillside, the ambiance of the tasting room is intimate, and we even loved the labels on the bottles (done by a local artist).
I highly recommend a visit to this delightful winery. Meet Holly and Jim. Taste and purchase some incredible wines. You won't be disappointed.
