Start as an Acorn

Time to sing the praises of my college, Linfield as The Acorn to Oak Wine Experience is now open.  It is the University’s student-run wine bar located at  546 N.E. Third St. (the main McMinnville drag) and is open noon-8 p.m. Friday-Sunday and 3-8 p.m. Monday and Thursday. 

It is both tasting room and a hands on experience for Linfield students.  “From viticulture to wine marketing, students will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in every aspect, all while being guided by seasoned industry professionals.”

Next time you visit Heater Allen and Gold Dot and Golden Valley for beer, get some wine too.

McMinnville in Dec/Jan

My alma mater, Linfield is is going to wine (no dine) visitors to McMinnville as they are set to take over a former wine bar space on Third Street in downtown McMinnville. It will reopen in December or January as a wine bar and learning lab for the university interdisciplinary wine studies program.

All the details can be found HERE.

Once that is up and running maybe they can branch out into craft beer.

Start Designing Young

Every twice in a while, I have to toot the horn for my alma mater.

This time for having a cross disciplinary assignment. Art department meet the Wine Studies and design a wine label. You can read all about the winner right HERE. Readers of the blog know that I love a good design and am equally turned off by bad ones.

And I like this one. Very on point for wine and for classic college, sorry, University.
