Hi all
I thought that i would like to take a different approach as most of the people in the world know that most of the wines come from Napa in the US but there is one other place that i think is very underestimated in the world of wine and that is the state of Oregon around the Willamette valley area.
People have come to love the Napa wines and they are producing some fantastic wines from Duck Horn to Opus one and the iconic Screaming Eagle.... but now there is somewhere that has been quietly amassing award winning wines and now has taken the Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Riesling to new heights.!!!
If you want to go wine tasting at the greatest number of Oregon wineries, head to the Willamette Valley -- it's the largest wine-producing region in the state, and home to more than 200 wineries, or more than two-thirds of the state's total. The area is huge, 150 miles long and up to 60 miles wide, including more than 12,000 acres of wine grapes, and six sub-appellations:Chehalem Mountains Dundee Hills Eola-Amity Hills, McMinnville,Ribbon Ridge and Yamhill Carlton . Not bad, considering that wine making only arrived in this area during the mid-to-late 1960s.
Watch out Burgundy as the Pinot Noir has now a new home .......
Also they have become very ECO friendly which is a great way for the future you can catch more in the video below
