JENNY: IT IS 5:13, AND
TOMORROW
NIGHT IS NEW YEAR'S EVE, AND IF
YOU'RE HOSTING FRIENDS OR FAMILY
FOR THE NIGHT, YOU MIGHT BE
THINKING ABOUT YOUR DRINK MENU.
ELISE: OUR KOHR HARLAN IS LIVE
THIS MORNING AT ARGYLE WINERY'S
TASTING ROOM IN DUNDEE WITH A
LOOK AT SOME WINE OPTIONS FOR
YOUR NEW YEAR'S EVE CELEBRATION.
HEY, KOHR.
KOHR: ELISE, IT IS
SPARKLING
WINE THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT.
WHAT REALLY SAYS A PARTY ON NEW
YEAR'S EVE THAN A GREAT BIG
BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE -- OH,
SPARKLING WINE?
NOT CHAMPAGNE, SPARKLING WINE.
NOTHING SAYS A PARTY LIKE THAT,
EVEN AT 5:00 IN THE MORNING.
GOOD MORNING FROM ARGYLE WINE
IN DUNDEE.
I AM HERE WITH ROB, THE
SALES
AND MARKETING GUY HERE.
TALK A LITTLE ABOUT THE
POPULARITY OF SPARKLING WINE.
I AM A BEER DRINKER.
THERE IS SOME OVERLAP IN
SPARKLING WINE AND SOME BEERS.
BUBBLES.
BUBBLES ARE COMMON IN
CELEBRATION AND BRINGING PEOPLE
TOGETHER.
SPARKLING WINE IS ABOUT THAT,
ABOUT CONNECTING PEOPLE AND
HAVING A GOOD TIME AND ENJOYING
IT WITH SOME FRIENDS AND
CELEBRATING.
KOHR: WHAT PROMPTED YOU ALL HERE
TO DO THIS IN 1987?
REALLY THE WEATHER AND COOL
CLIMATE AND THE GREAT VARIETIES.
A CHARDONNAY IS A CLASSIC FOR
SPARKLING WINE, AS WELL AS
PINOT.
KOHR: IT IS A PARTY, RIGHT?
ABSOLUTELY, POPPING THE
CORK,
HOLDING THE GLASS, AND IT
TINGLES YOUR PALATE.
KOHR: GOOD THINGS TO KEEP IN
MIND.
IT IS NEW YEAR'S EVE TOMORROW
NIGHT, IN CASE YOU FORGOT.
LET'S FIRE ONE OPEN.
A NICE SOUND.
THE SOUND EVEN SOUNDS GOOD.
FIRE ONE OF THOSE UP.
YOU CAN HEAR THE BUBBLES.
THEY LOOK NICE.
THIS IS NOT OVERWHELMING EITHER.
WHEN YOU DO THIS, IT IS LIGHT ON
THE TONGUE.
IT EVAPORATES NICELY AND THEY
THE BACK OF YOUR MOUTH.
ROB, HAPPY EARLY NEW YEAR'S EVE
TO EVERYBODY.
DO YOU SMELL THIS OR JUST DRINK
IT?
YOU JUST DRINK IT.
KOHR: YEAH, JUST EVAPORATES IN
THE BACK OF YOUR THROAT.
BETTER THAN COFFEE IN THE
MORNING, HUH?
MUCH BETTER.
I LIKE THAT.
KOHR: JENNY, WE ARE IN YOUR
WHEELHOUSE HERE, SPARKLING WINE.
AT ARGYLE WINERY THIS
MORNING AS
WE GET READY FOR NEW YEAR'S EVE
TOMORROW NIGHT.
WHAT BETTER WAY TO RING IN THE
NEW YEAR THAN WITH A LITTLE BIT
OF SPARKLING WINE?
JENNY: YES, WE HAD FRIENDS OVER
THE OTHER NIGHT AND THEY BROUGHT
THAT SPECIFIC WINE.
WE DID ENJOY THE WHOLE THING.
I DO NOT REMEMBER SAYING TO THEM
IT WAS EVAPORATING IN THE BACK
OF MY MOUTH.
KOHR: THIS STUFF IS PRETTY DRY.
IT IS.
KOHR: JUST GOES AWAY IN THE BACK
OF YOUR MOUTH.
JENNY: SURE, OK.
JUST KEEPS DISAPPEARING IN THE
BACK OF YOURS.
KOHR: I WILL WORK TO CONFIRM
THAT THIS MORNING.
JENNY: DOING GOOD.
I DO LIKE THE SPARKLING WINE.
DO NOT HAVE TOO MUCH OF THAT.
ELISE: AND IF YOU'RE PLANNING TO
SPEND YOUR NEW YEAR'S EVE ON THE
COUCH THIS YEAR, DON'T FORGET TO
WATCH THE COUNTDOWN TO 2020 FROM
LAS VEGAS, STARTING TOMORROW
NIGHT AT 8:00.
KOIN 6 WILL HAVE REPORTS FROM
THE ILANI CASINO RESORT IN
RIDGEFIELD.
SEE IT ALL ON PORTLAND'S CW.
JENNY: A LOOK AT WEATHER AND
TRAFFIC.
CARLY, ARE YOU GOING TO BE
WORKING NEW YEAR'S DAY?
CARLY: NO.
JENNY: YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE OFF
THEN.
CARLY: THERE IS REALLY NO
TRAFFIC ON NEW YEAR'S MORNING,
SO NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT.
SO I WILL BE CELEBRATING THE
NIGHT BEFORE.
JENNY: GOOD FOR YOU.
YOU WILL BE IN BED.
KELLEY: A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL
STAY INSIDE TO BE DODGING THE
RAIN, TOO.
IT WILL BE A WET WEEK.
