Oregon and Washington Wines We Love

Here are the Oregon and Washington wines we take home to our cellars and serve to our family and friends. Some are the highest rated, some are hidden gems we've found while cruising the back roads of Oregon and Washington wine country. Many are made in such small amounts they rarely show up on the web.

We love to talk about our favorite Oregon and Washington wines, so give us a call at 541-752-7418 during business hours or an email if you'd like more information.
