Autumn is just around the corner and here at The Ocean Room, we have been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to shift our eating and drinking habits to fit the season. Our palates have been craving more robust flavours and there’s no better place to start than with Domaine Serene, an absolutely beautiful estate nestled in Willamette Valley’s Dundee Hills. While not quite as brooding as the Barolos and Cabernets I suspect we’ll all be sipping mid-Winter, the wines of Domaine Serene show the concentration and depth that Oregon Chardonnay and Pinot Noir can achieve. We will also be featuring their Grand Cheval, a blend of Pinot Noir and Syrah, which is making it’s first showing in South Carolina!
