Oregon Wines

Drink it alone, or enjoy with fish, chicken, even something with a hint of spice!

This is best served ice cold

Having worked for some great Oregon wineries throughout his career, in so many cases, founder Ryan Harms’ friends wanted to support him, but simply couldn’t afford to. He decided that he wasn’t going to accept that wine made in Oregon had to be so darn expensive. So he created Union Wine Co., (which makes Underwood) so he could finally make accessible wines he could share with friends and family, without sacrificing quality.

Amp up the fun and downplay the fuss with the Underwood cans. The single-serving 250ml cans make enjoying a quality sparkling rosé - as easy as, well, opening a can!

Place: Oregon, USA
Grape: Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay
Style: Fruity and refreshing

Red things, grilled things, slightly sweet-spicy things – ratatouille, smoked pork ribs, Korean BBQ

Good ol’ HK office temperature is good for this gal, but she doesn’t mind a couple of minutes in the fridge.

Baby-brother brand to Sokol Blosser, this started as a project to continue releasing wines when a nasty pest called phylloxera wiped out most of their vineyards. Through luck and intention, it has evolved (see what we did there?) into a brand in it’s own right under siblings & co-presidents Alison & Alex Sokol Blosser.

Alex has done a fun trick inspired by the Rhône region of France where he’s blended in a pinch of the Lucky 9 White to add a little extra fun to this baby that’s already big on good times!

Gosh, besides not practising biodynamics (and Alex has some very good – and pretty entertaining reasons for that), there’s not much the Sokol Blossers don’t do exceptionally well. They’re B. Corp Certified, Salmon Safe, organic…heck, they’re even one of the first wineries in the world to have a Green Building certification for their cellar! Add in the hyper-sustainable angle of these cool kid boxes, and there’s not much more we could ask for!

Place: Oregon, USA
Grape: Syrah, Sangiovese, Montepulciano and a sprinkle of Lucky 9
Style: Ripe fruit fun!
Ingredients: Yeast (commercially available strains), Malolactic bacteria, sulfites, grape concentrate, tartaric acid

Drink it alone, or enjoy with salads, fish, or even cheese.

More fun, less fuss! Enjoy bubbles any time, anywhere without worrying about finishing the whole bottle.

Place: Oregon, USA
Grape: Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir
Style: Crisp and refreshing

This is a match made in heaven with any duck, chicken, or mushroom based dish. Don’t recommend with anything too spicy.

This is best served at room temperature. In the height of summer, pop it in the fridge for 10 minutes before you drink it.

Minimus started as the experimental arm of Craft Wine Company. It is where the winemaker can bottle her experiments each year. Some bottles were good enough to be produced every year, others are one offs - and numbered according to which experiment number it is.

Minimus truly believes that Oregon’s heirloom clones offer the most unique style of wines. So they strive to bottle only using those heirloom varieties, or put another way - to be Dijon Free!

Place: Oregon, USA
Grape: Pinot Noir
Style: Sophisticated and elegant
Ingredients: Grapes + minimal sulphur

Raw veggie salads, grilled corn, poached salmon

Serve nice and cold straight from the fridge!

Their story began in 1971 when Susan Sokol and Bill Blosser first planted vines in Oregon’s Dundee Hills. Now second generation winegrowers, siblings Alex and Alison Sokol Blosser are passionately committed to their family’s legacy of creating world-class wines, through organic and sustainable methods, which express their distinctive hillside vineyards.

The Sokol Blosser’s have specific areas within their Concert Block vineyard where they source the Pinot Noir for this rosé. The grapes are grown specifically to make this fantastic wine.

Place: Dundee Hill, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA

Coooooolll

Chad and Bree Stock, a husband-and-wife team, have merged their superpowers and unique backgrounds in wine to create Ltd. +, which emerged as a collaboration with farmers in the area, inspired to develop a diverse and sustainable wine landscape. The wines, often made from less common grape varieties adopting innovative techniques, are changing preconceived notions of Oregon wine. 

We crush hard on PIQUETTES – full stop. These are kinda wine, but kinda not, what used to be a ‘farm hand’s drink’ made from leftover grapes & water doing a funky ferment. The older we get, the more we want to drink without the silly side-effects of those pesky hangovers. With very low alcohol this baby is our any day, anytime wine friend, allowing us to keep up with the cool kids all the while sippin’ on something simply divine.

Place: Eola-Amity Hills, Oregon, United States
Grape: Grenache, Cabernet Franc
Style: Lovely light red-like
Ingredients: Grapes, water + a smidge of sulphur

Pau’s heirloom carrots with roast aubergine purée, roast goose, char siu bao

A little time in the fridge before serving goes a long way!

Where do we start? The whole project is geared toward ensuring Oregon remains a viable wine-growing region through climate change. They’re not only encouraging growers to work with a more diverse spread of grapes that will weather the changing weather, but they’re also ensuring that seasonal workers are employed for longer because these alternative grapes ripen at different times. They’re also active supporters of the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities in wine.

We love how lively and lovely this wine is – it’s like that smart-funny friend we all love.
