Ready for Summer!
We are excited to announce the Del Rio Summer Concert Series line up. We are looking forward to bringing great local bands to play at the tasting room and we hope you will join us. Here is a sneak peak of who is coming to Del Rio.
2007 Cabernet Sauvignon
The Del Rio Cab was given a little attention from the Oregonian recently and we wanted to share more. Dana Tim suggested readers to visit Del Rio to taste the delicious Cab Sauvignon. The review states, "a standout here(Del Rio) is the 2007 cabernet sauvignon, and the charm of Del Rio's tasting room -- in the historic Rock Point State Hotel, built in 1864 -- means you'll savor every sip." Read the full article here.
Tasting Notes:
Our 100% estate grown Cabernet Sauvignon has a deep black currant color. Aromas of prune, raisin and smoked oak, with a touch of licorice notes. On the palate, this full bodied wine is well balanced, with good acidity and young tannins, showing its aging potential. The 2007 vintage benefitted from a late harvest exposing the grapes to cooler temperatures causing lower alcohol levels and structured acidity allowing for ideal flavor development.

Food Pairing Suggestions:
Pair with steak or dishes with heavy butter cream sauce. We also recommend a variety of cheeses such as cheddar, mozzarella and brie. Even bitter dark chocolate will marry well with it. Enjoy now or cellar for the next 4-6 years.

Celebrating Women
This last Saturday Del Rio's Rose Jolee was poured at the Women Making a Difference event in Denver, CO. The event was organized by two non profits, ECTA-International and The 1010 Project. The afternoon featured interactive exhibits sharing the stories of women who have made an effort to alleviate global problems. It was an exciting event with wonderful stories of hope. We are thrilled to have attended and would like to share one of the stories.
Amanda's Story
Amanda is a founding member of ECTA-International. Here is the event that led her to her work in training village health workers in rural India.
I was 14 weeks pregnant with my second child and having a miscarriage. I had tried bed rest to no avail and had to be carried on a stretcher to the nearest PHC, which was 3 hours away. I had lost a lot of blood, about 2 liters, and my husband couldn't get an IV in my already collapsed veins. I was able to tell him to give me a saline enema instead and I held the bag as I was carried out. The men of the village had to carry me in the dark on a rainy night. The trail was so slippery they abandoned their shoes and walked barefoot. Then they loaded me in a small van and took me to the PHC. Despite the fact that we had called ahead the doctor and nurse were asleep, the instruments were not sterilized and no one took my vitals. If it weren't for my medic husband, I would have died hours earlier and the doctor squandered the borrowed time I was running on. I was lying on the bed knowing what they were about to do, I had seen D & C's done many times working in the government hospital. I told my husband as I stared out the dark window, "I know exactly what is about to happen to me and it is my worst nightmare come true. I have seen how rough they are, how bad the women scream. You know I was reading today before this all happened that compassion means 'to truly suffer with.' I suppose I'll be compassionate after this." I feel fondness for that moment and that place because of what I learned. I know the feeling of being carried out, the feel of the steel bed. I can more closely identify with the fears of an Indian woman, and because of that I will always be connected with India and its mothers.
