In celebration of Oregon Wine Month, we’re nerding out about the world-class wines of Oregon. How did the Valley historically come to exist as a beloved wine region? Why does the Willamette Valley have so many danged AVAs? What could possibly merit these distinctions in a relatively small region?
We’ll be getting into eight of our favorite Oregon wines, ranging from classic Chardonnay and Pinot to the new wave stuff. We’ll be exploring the broader history, geology, and topography of Oregon, but diving a bit deeper into how the soils and microclimates of the various sub-AVAs distinctly affect the wines made from their grapes.
