In June, we enjoy the first days of summer’s promise of heat.  June brings us the most gentle of berries – Oregon’s celebrated strawberry – as well as many other long yearned for flavors. As if from a winter’s nap, our first sip of Strawberry Sangria awakens our spirits and palates to the promise of the Oregon Bounty.  We celebrate June’s harvest with:
