Spotlight on Southern Oregon
March 2023
This month we are featuring wines from a few of our favorite Southern Oregon winery partners and a few new ones! This fast-growing region has a wide diversity of varietals planted and a vastly different growing climate than the rest of Oregon resulting in unique and delicious wines! I particularly love how they are making a name for themselves with Spanish varietals that aren’t widely grown anywhere else in the United States.
Our first red is a spicey blend of Syrah and Tempranillo from Upper Five Vineyards who donates 10% of the profits from this wine to local nonprofit organizations. Our second red is a Pinot Noir—yes Southern Oregon makes Pinot Noir too! - from Anchor Valley Wines.
Our first white is a Sauvignon Blanc from club favorites Kriselle Cellars. And our second white is another Spanish varietal, Verdejo from Red Lily Vineyard.
I hope you’ll enjoy these wines as much as we do.
