264 - Wine in Perfect Pitch: Exploring Bells Up Winery's Classically Inspired Wines

May 09, 2025 • Phil • Season 6 • Episode 264

In this weeks episode, the wine bell has additional meaning! Today, Shelley and Phil sit virtually with Dave Specter with Bells Up Winery for week two of Oregon Wine Month tasting through six of their wines. Each of their wines have personalities and matching classical music to match. This winery is ultra boutique, however, they are open by appointment and with that, you won't share your tasting experience with anyone else AND you'll likely get a vineyard tour too! #HappyFriday! #ItsWineTime! #Cheersing #PrettyPinots #BellsUpMoment
