ˇSalud!
Oregon's Premier Pinot Noir Auction -
This outstanding two-day event is a unique opportunity for
Pinot Noir enthusiasts to taste Oregon’s top wines, meet the
winemakers and preview the 2007 vintage.
Guests can bid on Pinot Noirs created especially for ˇSalud!
when vintners from 42 invited wineries pour pre-release
samples of their special wines at Friday’s exciting Big
Board auction at Domaine Drouhin Oregon.
ˇSalud! provides healthcare outreach services
for seasonal vineyard workers and their families. Since this
mobile workforce rarely qualifies for health insurance
plans, they are unable to receive benefits. To fill this
void, a dedicated group of Oregon vintners and volunteers
associated with Tuality Healthcare Foundation created a
bi-lingual, bi-cultural service calling it ˇSalud!, for the
traditional Spanish toast “to your health.”
