Slow Tasting: Sipping Shape, Texture, and Volume
The Portland Art Museum celebrates Oregon Wine Month with a special program led by Patrick Reuter of Dominio IV Wines, a family-based winery in McMinnville and Mosier.
Although the flavors and sensations of drinking wine are usually put to words—like leathery, buttery, or steely, with comparisons drawn to forest floors, oak, tobacco, and (yes, sometimes) cat pee—there are other ways to express the unique qualities of a bottle of wine.
Join us on Friday, May 6th for a slow tasting experience that downplays the verbal and emphasizes touch and vision as compliments to taste and scent. Each session will begin in the galleries with a brief slow looking experience led by a museum docent, followed by a guided wine tasting with Patrick.
This event is for the wine curious and enthusiast alike. No prior knowledge necessary, but you must be 21+ to participate.
5 p.m. Tasting 6 p.m. Tasting 7 p.m. Tasting$10 ticket includes museum admission after 5 p.m.
