Sokol Blosser Winery

Sokol Blosser is conveniently located on the Dundee strip, off Highway 99 west of Newburg.  It is one of the more popular tasting rooms due to its location, though we haven't been particularly impressed with their wines either time we've been there.  They boast of their Pinot Noir, but we've certainly had better.  They charge a five dollar tasting fee and offer no free tasting, and only include five wines.  The winery has live music during the summer months, but has closed their large entertainment area in favor of additional vineyard acreage.  A deck with picnic tables overlooking Mt. Hood and Mt. Jefferson is a cozy place to picnic, though the winery offers little in the way of food.  The Sokol Blosser Hot Fudge is excellent, and we are interested to try some of the various sauces, mustards, and oils that they offer, but they no longer offer tasting of any of their offerings. 

The winery also offers a small, walk-through winery, which consists of a dozen rows of labeled grape vines.  We weren't too impressed, despite the beautiful approach, and we walked away empty handed.
