We are so lucky to live so close to some of the world's great wineries, right here in the…read moreWillamette Valley. This one happens to make my favorite Pinot in Oregon, and calls it 'Perspective.' As the producer says, we can all use a little more Perspective. Indeed, we can! Brad, the producer, met us outside and pointed out the rest of the Ribbon Ridge area, then turned us over to the Dundee Hill and explained the types of grape over there. Then all it took was a ring of the bell and boom: we were inside the fragrant tasting room filled with wine barrels where, as Brad says, wine has been spilled all over the floor. Brad sat us at the bar and walked us through all he had to offer. The wines we tried were fabulous. A blanc and rosé, which he only makes a couple hundred cases a year of. We left with case filled with 3/5 wines we tried, including 3 bottles of vintage Perspective. As if the amazing quality of his wines wasn't an easy enough sell, the man himself is so friendly and down to earth. Don't pass this one up, but be sure to call first as it's by appointment only!

Pssst!!! More than wine here!!!! Here is my story:…read more My annual wining group decided the Willamette Valley was the place for 2025. One of our travel partners is studious and knows where we should go for a quick taste. PGC was one of our stops. Keep in mind we are wining our way around the Valley and for some, like myself, all wine might seem alike after a few stops.... but not here! Not PGC Wine and the stories of winemakers in the Willamette area never ceases to surprise and impress me. After all was said and done, I learned that ..... Pssst!!! put your eyes closer! They have whiskey! They distill their own bourbon. NUFF SAID! Go there or be square!

This was our last stop on a Club Share day out in Carlton. Let me start by saying, I probably would…read morehave enjoyed it more if it had been our first stop. It's cute inside, friendly staff but the tastings consisted of 1 white and the rest Pinot. Unfortunately, we had just came from lunch where we overate and previous to that, a winery that had superior wines. The tastings would have been $50 and honestly, I didn't like any of the Pinots enough to warrant a $80 retail. I read so many positive reviews and maybe, my taste buds were just off that day.

It sits on a hillside with the fields of grapes splayed out before you. It's beautiful. It's literally Utopia. I wish that it remained a utopian experience. I don't know about you but I expect excellent service while at a winery. This time when we visited Utopia, albeit our tasting flights were comped, their goal at the end of the day is to get you to buy a bottle(s) or become a wine club member. So when I go limping in and ask the man behind the counter if he can recycle my glass bottle he says yes he can but then as I approach him he tells me I can just go ahead and take it outside to the white bin. From this interaction I left the tasting room and the winery host and that the winery host with the strong sensation of sour grapes. The host arrived with very good timing just as most of us had finished off our first pour which was as I recall a very fruity, like and alcohol fruit salad served very chilled. It was actually quite good. Next came three Pinot noirs. I typically do not care fore Pinot noir wines, But I will usually find at least one Pinot that pleases me. This was no exception. The first Pinot in our flight was ok. I was the wine list showed only our tasting flight. The second Pinot was a delight, it was full flavored and peppery, such a nice surprise. The last Pinot I don't think anyone liked. On to the Chardonnay. It was described to us as being aged in first oak, and then stainless steel. I would have enjoyed it more if it was only aged in oak, If you find yourself in the neighborhood, by all means, stop by. There is something on the menu for everyone. 2023 - Review # 40

The new location is perched on a hill with a sweet airstream and covered tasting patio. Google maps guided us onto a sketchy unpaved road so we almost aborted our mission to visit. I'm so thankful we kept going and found this sweet spot. Locals and visitors have to visit this place - now. Definitely go if you are searching for an awesome spot to relax and enjoy wine. The views are just breathtaking and hypotonic with the ever-changing clouds. This winery just moved into a top place on my list to take friends or tourists that plan to visit Oregon. Reservations are recommended, but walk-ins are welcome. Tastings in 2024 are $20 a person, but comes with a million dollar view. The Pinot is delicious, definitely savor it - or take home a case of it - if money isn't an issue. Our server Kevin was engaging and knowledgeable. I will definitely visit again. The only disappointment was the port-a-potty restroom. Although extremely clean, it was really difficult to see while inside since it's situated under the portico behind the wine bins. Hopefully in the future, they can possibly develop a sustainable winery that has better facilities or get luxury loos. I also think this spot would be too cold to visit in the winter - November - February (since it's primarily an outside venue.)
