  • Thanks to @willamettewineconcierge for the visit and the kind words: "Sat down with owners and winemaker Dave & Sara for a tasting of their wine. Beautiful and complex Pinot Noirs all sourced from small growers around the valley. Well worth a visit as that’s the only way you’ll find their wines. They produce only 500 cases." #gowinetasting #boutiquewine #bellsupmoment
  • Did you know @wine_4_food says we have one of the Best Views in Oregon Wine Country? Here's what @satiatepdx wrote about it: "Perched on the slope of Chehalem Mountain, Bells Up features a spectacular 270-degree view of the surrounding area. It also overlooks the quaint little town of Newberg and their estate vineyard, planted to Pinot noir and the Willamette Valley’s first planting of Seyval blanc. An array of Oregon native wildflowers bloom throughout the spring and summer (and sometimes even into the fall!). With private tastings by appointment only, the view is always yours alone to appreciate. The winery was named “One of The Best Places to Kiss in the Willamette Valley” in 2018 by Oregon Wine Press, something you’ll want to test for yourself." . .

  • Regram from one of our industry favorites, @mybestwinelife : "Best made dinner plans start with wine 😋" #winedinner #winetime #bellsupmoment
  • 2018 Rhapsody Pinot Blanc review regram from @wineryreflections: Grapefruit peel, early spring flowers, zingy lemon juice. Lime wedge, flowing mountain spring, underripe nectarine. Cool quartz and beach sand, mint sprig and balsa wood. Laser beams of fresh citrus and sour apple cut cleanly through shiny stainless steel with relentless featherweight force, resting only momentarily to allow slight hints of honeysuckle and candied ginger to emerge. Intense mineral energy lies lurking beneath the feisty fruit expressing itself distinctly throughout the long lingering finish. Light bodied and lean yet textured and mouth-filling, with ferocious acidity that provides tart mouthwatering refreshment in droves. Clean, complex, and zesty. This 2018 "Rhapsody" Willamette Valley Pinot Blanc by Bells Up Winery is a spirited, sprightly, and serious Oregon white. . Oregon's Willamette Valley has long been known as a world class region for growing quality Pinot Noir, but in recent years this area has also been gaining significant recognition for its white wines. This bottling, crafted by Bells Up Winery using 100% Pinot Blanc sourced from the Plum Hill Vineyard in the northwestern corner of the valley, is a wonderful example of this emerging genre. This wine is tremendously focused and vital, pulsing with citrus-laden energy and a wonderful mineral backbone. It is weightless but not thin, possessing a sense of lean power one might expect in legendary whites from Alsace or Germany. Oregon undoubtedly has amazing potential to create many unique styles of wine and it's terrific to come across an example like this one where that potential is realized. (We think they liked it!) #pinotblanc #winereview #bellsupmoment
  • Just when I think how fortunate we’ve been to not have to add a tribute plaque to a vineyard post in the past 18 months, the cruelest loss stabs me in the heart. Christa Robinson was a fierce friend to so many who were lucky enough to know her—including Sara. She was so supportive and proud and excited about the winery and—as a French horn player herself—about the logo and the brand (although not so much about showing her face in selfies, as evidenced above). Just a few days ago we were making plans for her to finally fly out from Kentucky and provide some “in person” quality control on the wines in September. Which also happened to be her birth month and her favorite Earth, Wind & Fire song. I can’t believe she’s gone, and that we all have to go on without her. But we’ll be playing this cranked up to 11 for her. Do you remember the 21st night of September? Love was changing the minds of pretenders While chasing the clouds away Our hearts were ringing In the key that our souls were singing As we danced in the night Remember how the stars stole the night away Hey hey hey Ba de ya, say do you remember Ba de ya, dancing in September Ba de ya, never was a cloudy day #winefriends #gonetoosoon #heartbroken
  • Let there be (installed) lights! This was only a temporary electrification to prove the illumination situation in the new production building really was a bright idea. No more sorting grapes in the dark for us! #lettherebelight #constructiontime #bellsupmoment
  • The big dig happened yesterday. Phase 3 of concrete to resolve both a rainwater runoff issue AND to accommodate rerouting and upgrading power service. So. Much. Dirt. #constructiontime #excavator #bellsupmoment
  • Surprise! Bud break in our vineyard spotted over the weekend. This little replanted Wadenswil is clearly an overachiever. #budbreak #pinotnoir #bellsupmoment
  • When Dave and Sara first visited the Willamette Valley on vacation in 2008, we picked up this little gem, shipped it to their home in Cincinnati, and drove it back across country when we moved in 2012 to Newberg to start Bells Up. We opened it last week with two people who are beyond worthy of a 2006 @panthercreekcellars #sheavineyard #pinotnoir. Oh, and the age and the miles suited the wine... It was SPECTACULAR. #bellsupmoment
  • Winemaker Dave got to hang out with (and pour wines for) Sam Slaughter @slaughterwrites of @themanualguide yesterday. Sam was an experienced Seyval blanc drinker, so we weren't able to make him play "guess that varietal." #seyvalblanc #themanual #bellsupmoment
  • Meanwhile, in the new estate greenhouse, Seyval Blanc cuttings are rooting all over the place. 🌱🌱🌱 At least 50% have taken but it's too early to call it on the other half. #grapevine #vineyardlife #bellsupmoment
  • Now available, our sexy, savory 2018 Prelude Estate Rosé of Pinot Noir, with intense, young wild strawberry, fresh watermelon leaf, rose petal and pink lemonade on the nose, and a lush texture, strawberry, watermelon, white pepper, cranberry relish, orange rind and well-balanced, dry finish on the palate—or so our six industry previewers told us last weekend. Cases are already flying out of here—and last year’s entire stock was gone in 4 months. #yeswayrosé #roséseason #bellsupmoment
