Thanks Gabby Stone for this fantastic interview, focusing on the collaboration that makes our region work! International Pinot Noir Celebration - IPNC

Great wine captures the spirit of a place. But it isn’t just the landscape; it’s the people. Few wine regions make that point like Oregon.

This is what a grapevine wants to do in the wild- crawl up a tree and put all its fruit 3 meters high

is one of the great cultural treasures in the global wine community - but in order to keep going, we need to sell the last remaining full weekend tickets for the event.

At $1742 each, it is actually a terrific value… The level of food and wine served over the three days of the event is mind-boggling. What's more, every day is enriched with seminars, vineyard tour lunches, and amazing fellowship.

In order to help drive this final push for ticket sales, is offering a seat to an exclusive South Block Pinot noir Vertical Tasting to be held on Sunday afternoon July 28.

The tasting will be held alfresco under the shade of our massive walnut tree overlooking the original vines and the South Block. Entry is free for each Eyrie customer purchasing a full weekend ticket between now and July 25. However, seating will be limited to the first 18 people.

The Wine Workshop

What do you think about New World Trousseau? Hard to believe it's been nearly a decade since we planted the first vines in the Willamette Valley!

"Jason Lett, winemaker at The Eyrie Vineyards in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, became convinced that his region shared similar climatic conditions to the Jura and planted a small plot of Trousseau a decade ago. It has thrived, showcasing the grape’s characteristic combination of “wild, musky, mossy aromas, sort of like walking in a forest, combined with intense fruit,” he describes.
Trousseau has a higher amount of natural tannin than many other light-bodied red wines, which he believes makes it well-suited for low or no sulfur winemaking techniques. “It’s low-alcohol, fruity, and refreshing—a great bridge wine with food,” says Lett."

We are currently sold out at the winery, but can't wait for you to try the 2018! Keep an eye out for the new release in just a few short weeks.

How this Jura native red grape—a star of the natural wine movement—is being embraced by U.S.
