On Our Radar...in 2021!
Burgundy represents the pinnacle of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Yet, prestigious Burgundy producers are spreading their winemaking skills across the pond to Willamette Valley. What lures these world-class winemakers to the new world? “There is a soul, an inspiration, a source of energy in Willamette Valley, it is engaging....a true energy on site, a unique 'somewhereness'-- explains Burgundy-born Guillaume Large, winemaker of Résonance Wines.
Sip the Best! On our radar for the 1st quarter of 2021 are the wineries which scored in the Top 100 Wine Spectator list for 2020, including Résonance Wines. We'll be describing which wines made it and a little about the wineries which produced them, and visit 3-6 of these wineries in a 1 or 2 day event.
