Iterum
Joe Dobbes crafts a beautiful range of wines for Iterum. Sitting with Joe Dobbes in his house we share stories of his longstanding time in the Oregon wine industry. We tasted together and then headed to barrel taste his 2025 wines which show serious promise. Dobbes built and sold his namesake brand. He had a hiatus in wine and then built a new brand that focuses on wines from his his Orchard House estate the Eola-Amity Hills AVA as well as several other vineyards. Purchased in 2018, his Orchard House estate is making some of the best Sauvignon Blanc in Oregon.  I love his 2025 Iterum ‘Orchard House Vineyard’ Sauvignon Blanc (OB, 93) which is one of the best wines of its kind in the state. Learn more about this outstanding house at https://iterumwines.com/ and here are my reviews of the new Iterum wines. 2025 Iterum ‘Orchard House Vineyard’ Sauvignon Blanc - The outstanding 2025 Iterum ‘Orchard House Vineyard’ Sauvignon Blanc comes from their estate in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA and

Pepper Bridge and Amavi
Here are the outstanding new wines by Pepper Bridge and Amavi, made by Jean-Francois Pellet. It is my pleasure to share the fabulous wines made by Swiss-born winemaker Jean-François Pellet. Pellet is a third-generation wine grower. He is an incredible talent that worked with his father before coming to the Walla Walla Valley back in 1999. Pepper Bridge founder Norm McKibbon saw the potential in Pellet and made him Pepper Bridge winemaker. The brand has been going strong ever since. In addition to being winemaker at both Pepper Bridge and Amavi, Pellet is a partner in Artifex, the largest custom crush facility in Walla Walla, as well as the Octave Vineyard. Wines by Pellet have gotten better and better, even more consistent in the past ten years. I was able to try a few wines from the new vintage on the horizon, 2025. Pellet mentioned that “2025 was moderate in terms of 100 degree days. This helped with the white wine and Rose wines.” He was very fond of 2024 “And I think that this vint

Finding confidence in wine: why you don’t have to know everything
When you’re the nominated wine person in your friendship circle, whether through training or simply blind enthusiasm, it can feel daunting having to make wine choices for the whole table. The questioning looks and the faith in your abilities can all add to the pressure. Wine writer and WSET Level 3 graduate Annona Dodoo knows how daunting wine can feel when you’re still finding your feet. Here, she shares what helped her build confidence and why you don’t need to know everything to enjoy wine or make a good choice. You’re at dinner with a group of people and as the person studying wine, you’ve automatically been given the responsibility of choosing the bottles for the table. The wine list comes to you, and so does the waiter. You can feel all eyes on you as you make your way through the list, hoping to make a good choice. You recognise a couple of wines, and using what you’ve learned, you’re able to make your choices. The bottles arrive and are poured for you to taste. You give a nod o
