Together with Dana Frank, he developed Bow \u0026amp; Arrow around a different interpretation of the Willamette Valley, looking toward the everyday wines and grape varieties of France’s Loire Valley rather than treating Burgundy as Oregon’s only reference point. From a subterranean winery in Northeast Portland, Bow \u0026amp; Arrow works with a small group of Willamette Valley growers and varieties including Chenin Blanc, Melon, Gamay, Cabernet Franc, and Sauvignon Blanc. Frank places drinkability and low-intervention winemaking at the center of the project, and Time Machine Blanc captures that philosophy in an accessible, refreshing white blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing Suggestions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe chilled at approximately 8 to 11 degrees Celsius in a white wine glass.

It also works naturally as an aperitif.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Le Duc Wine Co","offers":[{"title":"2023 \/ 750mL","offer_id":42409554509879,"sku":null,"price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2699\/1632\/files\/Bow_Arrow_Time_Machine_Blanc_Willamette_Valley_Oregon_2023.png?v=1788384537","url":"https:\/\/www.winedispensary.com\/products\/bow-arrow-time-machine-blanc-willamette-valley-oregon","provider":"Wine Dispensary","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
