Pallet Wine Company’s facility near downtown Medford is coming along nicely. The company is renovating the historic Cooley-Neff building to offer a crush facility, cellar, and eventually a tasting room. At the 8/5 hard hat tour visitors tasted some of the wines the partners had previously produced, including some well-balanced Domaine Paradox Pinot Noirs. (The 2007 Domaine Paradox Pinot Noir recently won a silver medal at Gold Hill’s World of Wine event.)

Pallet aims to start producing wine in 2010 and from the looks of it, they are a company to keep your eye on. Take the “Winemaker’s Journey” today.
