While all fifty states now produced wine, Oregon has gained a solid reputation for some of the very best Pinot Noir in the country. The Willamette Valley has grown, and producers are expanding the grapes they farm. Wayne Bailey, Winemaker at Youngberg Hill is one of those producers. Though the winery hangs it’s hat on Pinot, Wayne has no problem stepping out of his comfort zone. Take a listen and see why. On a side note, it’s worth noting that Wayne is holding 26 bottles in the post photo!

What do you do when you find a huge
heart shaped boulder on property being readied for planting?
The answer is tricky. But Coeur de
Terre owner Scott Neal figured out what to do. Perfectly! Coeur de
Terre is in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, where Pinot Noir rules. We
met with Scott during day of the Pinot Noir Auction at the Allison
Inn & Spa. There was a huge buzz previous to the auction and in
the end, the association brought in over one million dollars. Not a
bad day’s work, right?
