I’ve been honored to capture the Wine Spectator feature story for Oregon since 2007, and each year proud and excited to see the coverage and accolades grow. This years article starts off with ….

“Looking to the future, Oregon is only beginning to tap into its potential. Willamette Valley has an incredibly varied and dynamic collection of elevations and exposures, and its soils are a deep and veiny labyrinth of terroirs, whether from primeval volcanoes scattered throughout the region or from the Missoula Floods that swept in from the Columbia River Basin during the last ice age.” Tim Fish
We couldn’t agree more, thank you for the excellent overview Wine Spectator!
