Memorial weekend winery tours ( Yamhill County )

[Cole]

Hello:

Thanks for the welcome. I am extremely in touch with the OR wine scene (from Willamette as well as Southern Oregon), but am just learning about Washington and Idaho wines.

Domaine Drouhin, locally called DDO, will NOT be open Memorial Day weekend. They normally NEVER open, and now, since their general manager of 13 years, Bill Hatcher, has left the winery, there's no one to pour! At least until the Drouhins name a replacement.

By the way, if I had to pick one winery to visit for overall quality of wines, I think I'd have to shoot myself--or just admit that it would be a 3-way tie between Brick House, Patricia Green and Broadley (who is in the extreme south part of Willamette Valley, and so out of the Yamhill range that was the original spark to this thread.)
