Brigadoon Wine Co.

Brigadoon Wine Co. is a new Oregon winery making Oregon Pinot noir from its own vineyard.

Brigadoon's six acre vineyard at the south end of the Willamette Valley provides the fruit for their wines. It’s a family winery, with Chris Shown managing the vineyard, Sheree Shown assisting their son Matt in making the wines, and son Nick working with the farm’s timber and developing the winery’s “farm to table” products. Brigadoon wines are rarely available outside the Corvallis area (where Avalon is located) and are well worth knowing about.

The combination of the southern valley’s hotter days and the vineyard elevation’s colder nights both ripen the fruit and stress the vines, resulting in a complex and satisfying Pinot. The Lylee name comes from a combination of Chris Lyle Shown and Sheree Lee Shown’s names. The Lylee Pinot noir is their ready to drink wine that they describe as “complementing our daily lives.”

Proprietor and General Manager Chris Shown was always a farmer at heart, Chris’s involvement in the wine industry began in 1970, assisting his father in the establishment of their Rutherford Vineyard in California’s Napa Valley. A strong believer in hands on sustainable agriculture, Chris not only manages Brigadoon Vineyards, but is also the primary caretaker of the vines and land. In addition, he manages other small vineyards in the Southern Willamette Valley. - from the winery
