Its difficult to get a table at NOMA–the restaurant is booked months in advance. I don’t recall exactly how we decided to dine there, but I think once we knew we’d be going to Copenhagen on an upcoming trip to Europe, I started googling the city. NOMA came up as [...]
We had a great time at the Montana Master Chefs at the luxurious Resort at Paws Up! They’ve just let us know about a gorgeous video they produced with footage of the event which includes some nice images of Seven Hills wines! Pentad can be seen at about 1:38 into the [...]

Celebrating a Long Partnership with the Vineyards of Red Mountain
One of my early experiences in the Washington State wine industry was a visit to Red Mountain. I went there with a friend in the early 1980s to look over some land. This was in the days when Ciel du Cheval was [...]
Wishing peace, happiness and prosperity to all in 2012!
We welcomed the new year by celebrating at home with family and a bottle of our favorite Oregon Sparkler, skillfully opened by Casey with his saber (yes, technically it was a machete).
Seven Hills is delighted to be included in Alder Yarrow’s suggested [...]

It’s a great feeling every year when those first loads of fruit come in and [...]
Chuck Hill at Wines Northwest has done a nice write-up of Riesling tastings with crab cakes, including a review of our Seven Hills 2009 Riesling. We love to see this kind of writing out there, as it combines our favorite topics: northwest food and northwest wine!
As a newer varietal in Washington State, we tend to get questions at the winery from those interested in how Viognier ages. I’ve always thought of Viognier as a “drink soon” wine: We’ve all experienced that luscious honey, mandarin orange blossom, and ripe peach character that practically jumps out of a glassful of young [...]
I am so pleased to have Ian Boyden’s current show in the winery open this month. This is a stunning extension of his previous terroir-based, large format paintings based on earth and vine components.
