Remy Drabkin makes Italian inspired wines in the Pinot-centric Oregon Willamette Valley. Sangiovese, Cannonau, Barbera, and Lagrien are some of the varietals she uses in making her polished wines.
Avalon writes more about Remy Wines' Lagrein 06.

Grapes for her wines are purchased in both Washington State and Southern Oregon. She has longtime friendships in Oregon’s winemaking community, growing up with the children of some of Oregon’s most famous winemakers.
Before Oregon, she lived in an Italian section of Pittsburgh and learned about winemaking, Italian style, from local families.
