Voted “ Outstanding Oregon Wine List “ by Winepress NW Fall 2007

“Jim Dey is a New Jersey Native, and yet his list headlines neighboring wineries such as Cathedral Ridge, The Pines 1852, and Viento. And that’s just by the glass. There’s also Dominio, Maryhill, Mount Hood, and Pheasant Valley. All are reasonably priced.”

"Northwest chefs pair their dishes with The Pines 1852 Zinfandel"

[Jim] Dey's wine list allows residents and tourists to drink in much of the best that the Columbia Gorge has to offer. "It was natural," Dey said. "This area is so rich and diverse in its wines. There's weather influence from the Willamette Valley, then it transitions to the Columbia Gorge, where it changes, and on to the Wall Wall Valley. The wines of the world are available within 100 miles to the east and west."
