What an amazing journey to Oregon! We visited Teutonic W**e Company, **es and Martin Woods W**ery in Portland and the Willamette Valley. Both offered several varietals that were remarkable, distinctive and delicious! It was such a pleasure meeting the makers and spending time with the crews during the beginnings of the crush. Thanks all for your hospitality!
We care deeply about w**es that are made with intention, integrity and a genuine connection to place. Maddie’s carefully curated list celebrates independently owned growers and w**emakers from around the world—people whose work reflects a personal commitment to their craft rather than the demands of mass production.
We focus on natural, organic and biodynamic farming and production practices, supporting makers who work thoughtfully with the land and allow the character of their vineyards to come through with as little intervention as possible.
Above all, Maddie looks for what is delicious—w**es with personality, sometimes unexpected and often difficult to find bottles that express something distinctive about the land, the grower and the maker behind them. Together, they create a collection that is less about convention or prestige, and more about discovery: an authentic, expressive and thoroughly enjoyable perspective on the enjoyment of beautiful w**es.
Cheers!
