ART EXHIBITION:
Portland artist, Colby Brooks, presents a new collection of paintings and drawings based on scenes from Sauvie Island. Colby honed his fine art and printmaking skills in Bellingham, WA at Western Washington University. Following a 4-year stint in New York City, Colby is working out of a studio in NE Portland. It's the perfect inspiration for berry picking on the island over the next couple of weeks.

Join us on Thursday, July 2, from 5:30 - 7:30 PM for a reception. We'll also be pouring these new wines:
Marchetto Verdicchio
Milbrandt Rose
Jaja de Jau Rouge
