It is a non traditional India Pale Ale with big citrusy, hop flavor and intense hop aroma. Medium-bodied with a vibrant lingering hop-bitterness that is anything but brutal. Enjoy!

Sokol Blosser Winery
5000 Sokol Blosser Lane; Dayton, OR 97114............................................................ 503.864.2282 www.sokolblosser.com 2009 Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2013 Willamette Valley Pinot Gris Evolution Sparkling NV For more than 40 years, before there was an Oregon wine industry, the Sokol Blosser family has been growing grapes and creating exemplary wines. Located on a certified organic 120-acre property in Oregon’s Dundee Hills sub-appellation, Sokol Blosser has consistently captured the terroir of the region as expressed through the brilliance of its estate fruit. This resolute quest for excellence is also inherent in its environmentallysensitive winemaking techniques, a core value for Sokol Blosser since the planting of its very first vines in 1971. The winery produces Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, and small quantities of Single Block Pinot Noirs under its Sokol Blosser brand name. It also produces a white blend and red blend under the Evolution brand name. And this year, we will continue to pour our newest variety in the Evolution wine series Evolution Sparkling, 3rd Edition, a true, méthode champenoise, sparkling wine. The winery is now under the care of sister and brother co-presidents Alison Sokol Blosser and Alex Sokol Blosser. Sokol Blosser Winery is entering a new millennium of winemaking, tasting, and sustainability. Visit our website to shop online, for information about visiting our new state-of-the art tasting room, and more about this award-winning vineyard.

NOTES
Tracy Alifanz Office Administrator
Following the restaurant theme – we have listed our celebrity, head, and executive chefs, but we couldn’t have made Taste of Temple IV happen without our team of CBI sous chefs! The recipe for success for Taste of Temple IV requires our special team of “sous” chefs working diligently behind the scenes, ensuring there are no missing ingredients! It is with great pride that we acknowledge these sous chefs who work seamlessly every day to make CBI delicious, delightful, and welcoming!

CBI Legacy Circle Congregation Beth Israel is proud to recognize every person/family who decides to create a Jewish legacy. A legacy gift includes any donation that lives on in perpetuity ensuring that CBI will be here to serve the generations to come. Different reasons have motivated each of our Legacy Circle donors to choose CBI as a beneficiary of their life’s work. We are fortunate that many of our members embraced the benefit that becoming a legacy donor brought to their lives and their memory. We continue to be honored by those who are now committing gifts through endowments, trusts, wills, and estate plans. We hope you will consider joining this esteemed and appreciated group and let us know of your intention so that we may include you in this growing list. Development Director Jen Feldman welcomes the opportunity to discuss creating a Jewish legacy with you: (503) 222-1069 or jen@bethisrael-pdx.org.
