Our Winery of the Month for January is Corollary Wines, a sparkling wine producer dedicated to exploring the terroir of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. We will be featuring their wines by the glass all month long.
We will be hosting a Six Feet Apart Tasting of their wine at Red Hills Market on FRIDAY, JANUARY 8 FROM 12 - 3 PM
about the winery:
“Our path to winemaking wasn’t exactly a straight line. We started learning about sparkling wine the traditional way—by drinking a lot of it. (#truth.) Then we began doing more structured tastings. Eventually we found ourselves planning trips to visit our favorite Champagne grower-producers. We read a lot of books. After a few more years, on a whim, we tried making some traditional-method sparkling cider in our garage. And it turned out great!
That’s when we started getting serious about bubbles. Through spending time in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, near Jeanne’s hometown of Beaverton, we realized that Oregon has the perfect geography and climate to produce amazing sparkling wines. When we began talking with growers and winemakers in the area about our ideas, we discovered an incredibly open, welcoming wine community. So finally, after years of preparation, we made the leap in 2017 and produced our first Oregon vintage. We currently produce about 800 cases annually in the beautiful Dundee Hills.”

2017 cuvée one brut
