Wine education should be fun. You swirl, you sniff, you taste and you smile. Stephen Webber, Winemaker at Montinore Estate in the Willamette Valley likes to keep things uncomplicated. Stephen hails from England, the home of many fine wine lovers. He made wine in Australia and Alsace, which proved to be a great influence on his road to Montinore. We spoke with Stephen via phone a couple weeks ago and I found him to be a real pleasure to chat with. Wine should be fun and it should be serious…but not too serious.

The Willamette Valley is one of the most fertile places I’ve ever visited. Nurseries seem to be everywhere. Vineyards cover the hills and valley, growing some of the worlds best Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. I call Oregon a must visit state for wine. So when travel resumes, it’s my hope to meet in person with Utopia Vineyard owner and winemaker Dan Warnshuis. I spoke with Dan by phone last week to learn about his winery and to be updated on tasting room openings.
