Volunteer Park Cafe & Marketplace Wine Dinner with Cor Cellars
Vinum Bonum Laetificat Cor Humanum. Good wine pleases the human heart.
And when it’s paired with good food, can the human heart take much more happiness? Find out as Cor comes to the Café. Cor is the “next” generation of wines with a goal of creating approachable wines with character and distinction, melding old-school tradition with new-school standards.
Specializing in Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, Bordeaux blends, Alsatian-style Riesling, Gewurtztraminer and Pinot Gris, this Columbia River Gorge winery says they are “influenced as much by music and art as by agriculture.” Please join winemaker Luke Bradford to hear about Cor wines.
