Learn about Oregon

Oregon is a state like no other wine state, which is part of the reason I decided to make Oregon my next U.S. home.  Many say it is like the Napa of 30 years ago, where winemakers are the owners and wear jeans and a t-shirt vs. boatshoes and khakis. There is a sense of community to the Oregon wine industry that you don’t hear about in other wine regions in the world, making it a comfortable, cooperative region to work in.

I welcome you to explore the amazing regions of this great state, where the weather is mild and wet but the wines is stunning.

Oregon is composed a five  major regions with 16 major AVAs (American Viticultural Areas) within these regions:

Each region has something different to offer from light bodied Pinot Noirs and Pinot Gris of Willamette Valley to the full bodied Tempranillos and Syrahs of Southern Oregon.
