We are exited to announce this months winemakers for our monthly Winemaker’s Dinner; Jeanne Feldkamp & Dan Diephouse of Corollary Wines.
Jeanne & Dan founded Corollary Wines with a singular mission: to explore the terroir of Oregon’s Willamette Valley and its expression in sparkling wine.
Their path to winemaking wasn’t exactly a straight line. They started learning about sparkling wine the traditional way—by drinking a lot of it. ( .) Then they began doing more structured tastings, and eventually found themselves planning trips to visit their favorite Champagne grower-producers.
They read a lot of books.
After a few more years, on a whim, they tried making some traditional-method sparkling cider in their garage. And it turned out great! That’s when they started getting serious about bubbles.
Through spending time in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, near Jeanne’s hometown of Beaverton, they realized that Oregon has the perfect geography and climate to produce amazing sparkling wines. When they began talking with growers and winemakers in the area about their ideas, they discovered an incredibly open and welcoming wine community. So finally, after years of preparation, they made the leap in 2017 and produced their first Oregon vintage. Since then they have honed their craft and currently produce about 1100 cases annually in the beautiful Dundee Hills.
We have fallen in love with their wines at R/W and are excited to share them with you alongside a five course menu prepared by our chef and kitchen crew.
