DAY 11 - BEAVERTON: COOPER MT VINEYARDS - NEIGHBOR NIGHTS
Day 11 of 365 ...
Cooper Mountain Vineyards - Neighbor Nights
Every Friday you are encouraged to bring a picnic, friends, family and pets and enjoy the sunset atop Cooper Mountain as the Vineyard is open an extra 2 hour on Fridays until 7:00 pm.
Cooper Mountain Vineyards
Cooper Mountain Vineyards rests on the slopes of an ancient volcano. From thousands of years of erosions come the unique terrain, soils and characteristics that make their wines unique. The site of their vineyards covers much of the land once farmed by Oregon pioneers who took to the unique location and despite its challenges and lack of water, made it home as they worked the land. Cooper Mountain is one of rich heritage.
In 1978 Cooper Mountain Vineyards began when Dr. Bob Gross and his wife Corrine planted the first Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines. The two of them tended the vines and carefully nurtured them as they established in the unique soils of Cooper Mountain.
The vines were well cared for and matured gracefully to produce true Oregon Pinots. At first the fruit was sold to other wineries to be crafted into wine by some of Oregon's finest winemakers. In 1987 Cooper Mountain Winery opened to offer its first vintage to the public and began a quest that has led to 123 acres, four varietals, including Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, and Pinot Blanc, and a commitment to alternative farming practices that benefits the environment and ultimately produces better wines.
Today Cooper Mountain Vineyards is recognized as a leader in a vineyard movement that is rapidly gaining acceptance. Biodynamic® farming has an increasingly important role in vineyard and winery management. The practices that once seemed to have little benefit are finally being understood. Gross, Winemaker Gilles de Domingo and Vineyard Manager Gerry Sanchez, are on the forefront of this effort.
Why are Biodynamic® practices relevant? The use of natural preparations, rather than manmade chemicals, work to enhance the vines by repairing and building our soils to provide ideal growing conditions. Beneficial cover crops grow naturally and encourage equally beneficial insects. Their soil samples reveal active microorganisms that are of great benefit to soil environment.
The Vineyards
Cooper Mountain has 123 acres divided among four very different vineyard sites. From a 600 foot elevation with shallow volcanic soil to rich flood plane that first brought farmers to Oregon they have vineyards that provide diverse flavors and characteristics that give the winemaker many tools.
Cooper Mountain Offerings
Cooper Mountain produces three tiers (Estate, Reserve, and Five Elements) of Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay as well as a single bottling of Pinot Blanc.

DAY 9 FOREST GROVE - PRIME TIME SPORTS BAR & RESTAURANT
Day 9 of 365 ...
Prime Time Sports Bar & Restaurant
Prime Time Sports Bar & Restaurant is a casual dining sports bar with a lively atmosphere. The menu offers a wide variety of items; so many it's hard to make a choice. The restaurant offers a banquet facility for up to 40 people suitable for meetings or events such as baby showers.
Yesterday as I was playing tour guide to one of my clients who was not very familiar with Banks and Forest Grove, I suggested that we pop into the Prime Time Sports Bar & Restaurant for a "snack" aka early dinner. None of us had eaten lunch and we were ravenous. The food was great as always and I got to thinking that I don't think I've ever been disappointed with the food at Prime Time.
Our table of four shared the loaded potato skins with cheese, bacon, green onions and sour cream. I had a Philly Cheese Steak which is always delicious; I recommend also asking for a side of au jus! And my friend (and client) DeLori tried the tuna melt and was very happy with her choice.
Prime Time is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and offers a full bar selection. The biscuits and gravy breakfast selection is yummy! Lots of sports viewing options and Oregon Lottery scratch-its, keno, and video poker. There is also one pool table near the lottery machines and a game arcade for the kids. Their restrooms have recently been tastefully updated and have a baby changing station.
