Oregon Wine Country

Last weekend was a long one for us due to the Memorial Day holiday. We took advantage by joining our friends, Sam and Brian, and some other wine enthusiasts for a few days of wine tasting in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, just south of Portland. Oregon wine country is beautiful, and we were fortunate to get warm (not hot), sunny weather all weekend! These are the places we visited:

  • Domaine Drouhin - beautiful building, spectacular view, good example of light pinot noir
  • Eyrie - the original Oregon pinot noir, a very special wine indeed
  • Panther Creek - bodega style tasting room, which included barrel tasting when we visited
  • Erath - beautiful view and building, commercial experience, not-so-hot wine
  • Anne Amie - fantastic patio and view, perfect for enjoying some nice Oregon white wines
  • Medici - nice tasting room located on a farm with mediocre wine
