The history of Oregon wine-making dates back to the mid 1800s. Horticulturalist Henderson Luelling is credited with planting the first grapes in 1847 in Willamette Valley. His son-in-law, William Meek, won a medal in the 1859 California State Fair for wines made from the Isabella grape (an American hybrid). By the 1880s, vineyards began to take shape throughout the Willamette and Umpqua valleys, with Vitis vinifera stocks imported from Europe for the first time.
You could argue that Oregon Pinot Noir is not the ideal wine for Peking duck (though you might be mistaken), but that's neither here nor there. In this, our second installment on the People's Voice Awards Wine Writer Seminar Series, we hear from some o...

Complex floral, strawberry and Bing cherry aromas and flavors were highlighted by alluring spices that flowed in silky waves from the front of the palate to the back. Mid palate bright acidity rounded out the fruit, making it smooth, refreshing, extremely well balanced and... Read More
