about the winery:

Cho wines is the first Korean-American owned & operated winery in Oregon specializing in high elevation Willamette Valley sparkling wine & pinot noir. Cho symbolizes the celebration of our commonality, all living matter consisting of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen (CHO). What started as a side project while Dave worked at sparkling house, Argyle Winery, their decade long dream of launching their own brand became a reality during the pandemic. 

Look forward to visiting their brand new tasting room in the Chehalem Mountains, set to open in 2023.
