Wines By The River - with Craig and Kristin

We had the wonderful experience of attending Wines By The River in Bend, OR with Craig and Kristin the last weekend of September. Over 55 vineyards showcased their various wines and 10 chocolatiers gave samples of their delicious milk and dark chocolates. Kristin and Rebecca were in heaven!
You were allowed to taste 20 wines with the tokens given to you. But in actuality, we all tried each other's wine besides the one we wanted. So we probably tried 80 wines. It was really hard to duge which ones we really liked after two hours of tasting. Luckily, Kristin and Rebecca were keeping notes. Vineyards climbing the charts that day were:
Rex Hill,OR ~ Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir
Eola Hills, OR ~ All varieties
Iris Hill, OR ~ Pinot Gris

It was a fabulous event supporting a local hospice program. We all enjoyed oursleves in the 70 degree weather and a brief break along the Dechutes River.
