Domaine Pouillon, Lyle

We called from a different winery the day of and Sara was able to get our party of 3 a spot within the hour! It’s a short drive across the toll bridge from Hood River to a cute house with several options for seating. The $25 tasting included 1 white and 4 reds, all of which were very very good. We enjoyed each selection and felt extra spoiled as the winemaker and his wife popped by to give us details about the different wines. We took our time with the tasting while enjoying the view and decided to purchase 3 bottles on our way out. Despite the 3 bottle purchase ($110), we still got charged for 2 tastings ($50 additional). It was stated on the menu that 3 bottles = 1 tasting but when each bottle is more than a tasting it feels a bit petty to still have to pay for the tastings. The high price tag left a slightly sour taste in our mouths but luckily the yummy wine overtook it and we’ll look forward to enjoying our bottles at home soon.

Lovely Washington area. No wine tasting due to Covid restrictions but some great wines by the glass. The outdoor table areas were so nice. Would go again for sure.
