Oregon Wines

[Innkeeper]

Oregon's reputation has been built primarily with pinot noir and pinot gris as the primary red and white. Many producers do very well with other grapes including cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, merlot, and syrah on the red side, and chardonnay, semillon, riesling, gwurztraminer, and pinot blanc on the white side. Many great blends are also produced. If I lived where you do, would probably drink little else than Oregon Wine.

You might pick up a copy of Wine Press Northwest, and get a subscription to it. It is an excellent magazine covering the region, and comes out four times a year.
