Ripe bunches of purple pinot noir grapes hanging from the vine. Wineries and tasting rooms set in the hills and commanding sweeping views of valleys and mountains. Friendly winemakers and tasting-room staffs who love to talk about their products, and a local culture that is wrapped around good food, good wine and good friends. This is all Oregon Wine, and in this website, we try to deliver to you the whole experience of touring and tasting the wines of Oregon. Look inside for news and real stories (by real journalists) about Oregon's wines and wineries; travel tips for maximizing your visit to wine country; an interactive wine and food blog; and even a tool to buy wine directly from the winemakers. Come back often: We'll have updated stories, profiles and information throughout the month as we try to deliver the best of Oregon Wine to you. read more
