2026 Method Oregon Report
Method Oregon showcases some of the great talents in Oregon wine. Today it is my pleasure to release the first comprehensive Method Oregon Report. A non-profit organization dedicated to establishing Oregon as a world-class sparkling wine region, Method Oregon champions Oregon’s fast-growing traditional method sparkling wine movement. Wines from Method Oregon must be made in Oregon, spend at least 24 months en tirage, and by 2029 they must be sustainably farmed and show the disgorgement date. I’ve been enjoying Oregon Sparkling wines from my personal collection since roughly 2002 and fondly recall the amazing Argyle ‘Extended Tirage’ bottlings from the late 1990s. These were some of the wines that put Oregon Sparkling Wine on the world stage. Legendary producer Rollin Soles started this movement and continues today to impress with his namesake ROCO label. Today Kate Payne Browne continues this movement for Argyle. Wines for this report come from a range of vintages, generally spanning f

Verona’s Best-Kept Wine Secret Is a Six-Room Hotel

Koehler Family Wines
Gorgeous photo of the Koehler Estate Vineyard. It is my pleasure to share the great wines of Koehler.. Derek Koehler grew up on the estate and spent a semester in France studying international practices within the wine industry. Today he is in charge of the operations of the family winery. I have been really impressed with these wines. Wines are made by Trace Brueske and were seriously good across the board. I love the new 2025 Koehler Rose (OB, 91) which is pretty and neatly textured.. Learn more about this outstanding house at https://www.koehlerwinery.com and here are my reviews of the new wines by Koehler Family Wines. 2025 Koehler ‘Magia Bianca’ White Wine- A blend of 50% Chardonnay with the remainder Viognier and Grenahe Blanc, this offers nutty notes on the nose with salted peach and sourdough bread notes. The palate is wonderfully salty with a smooth mouthfeel. Drink 2026-2031- 92 2025 Koehler ‘Kick On Ranch’ Riesling- The 2025 ‘Kick On Ranch’ Riesling is bone-dry and shows rea

How to Taste Good Gin
Some love it. Some think it tastes like floor cleaner with a superiority complex. But here’s the thing: we believe if you don’t like gin, you probably haven’t tasted a good one yet. A great gin doesn’t shout in juniper or drown in citrus. It’s smooth, complex, and just weird enough to be interesting.
