Touring Oregon Wineries || Stoller tasting room || Por Que No!?!?!
We are a family of 5 from Texas. We are ditched suburbia life and we are heading to live on a sailboat. Follow along as we learn what we are doing. This will be a great adventure.
Last week we adventured through Portland, playing downtown and driving through the Columbia River Gorge to explore Multnomah Falls and the Bonneville dam.
Today we went on our first ever wine tour. My friend Heather and her hubby took us around to 3 different wineries. Argyle, Dobbs, and Stoller. Stoller is the #1 wine tasting room in the US, according to USA today in 2018.
After the wineries we went to dinner at Por Que No? in Portland, it was a great Mexican Restaurant. Followed by Rimskies Desert. What a great hole in the wall. We all got amazing. deserts.

Red Wine, White Wine and some Bubbly... An Intro to Willamette Valley - November 2012
A few good friends from Australia who came to visit me right after the harvest season asked me to give them a tour of the region. I thought it only made sense to take them to a few places I feel represent this valley for them to see and taste...a little red, a little white and some bubbly.
1. Eola Amity Hills AVA, to visit Bethel Heights. We had wanted to make it to Cristom and Saint Innnocent. but unfortunately there just wasn't enough time. We also toured Willamette Valley Vineyard, which is among the largest in production in Oregon. Ted Casteel from Bethel Heights took the time to talk to us about how they got started in 1977. For more information or to visit them, please visit their homepage at Bethel Heights.
2. Chehalem Mountain AVA, to visit the Ponzi Wine Bar. Founded in 1970, this is another family-owned business that is now a second-generation-run winery, with Michel Ponzi as the Co-Owner, Maria Ponzi as the Director of Sales and Marketing, and their sister, Luiza Ponzi as winemaker. As there honestly was not enough time to drive all the way up to Ponzi's main location, I took my Australian friends to the Wine Bar they have in Dundee. We had a bite to eat with a nice tasting of wine to accompany it. I had a chance to try their Dolcetto made from an Italian varietal, which was a nice surprise. They make Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay and White Riesling, as well as Arneis and Dolcetto, two rare Italian varietals. Please visit them at Ponzi Vineyards.
3. Dundee Hills AVA, to visit Argyle Winery. In my opinion, Argyle Winery makes some of the best sparkling wines (i.e., Champagne style) in the valley. I would highly recommend a visit to this winery to try their POP Flight. They have a number of 90+ point wines highly recommended by Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate. They also happen to be located right across the street from the Ponzi Wine Bar, so you can grab a bite and then head over there for after-meal sparkling delights. Please visit them at Argyle Winery.
When you are looking to find some other great places to visit, do feel free to send me an e-mail, and I will do my best to give you recommendations. We hope to see more of you in the region to taste some of the great wines coming out of the Willamette Valley.
Cheers!

Elouan Pinot Noir Oregon 2015 Review
Elouan's Pinot Noir from Oregon was interesting on a couple of levels.
First, it was made in Napa Valley. That's a coming wave, Napa vintners taking advantage of their world class facilities to make wine from Oregon and Washington.
Secondly, the Pinot comes from a variety of the state including the southernmost part, the Rouge Valley-perhaps the warmest spot in Oregon. It adds up to a fuller and more dense Oregon Pinot Noir than you might be accustomed to.
