Nysa has been around, as in making wine, for many years. But not with a tasting room or onsite…read moreproduction. We got invited by Monique, upon her moving to Nysa, to come and taste these library wines. They're "library" because they're all aged. The youngest wine we tasted was 2015. Where any other Vineyard you travel to in the Willamette, you'll find 2019 Wines. Because of that, Nysa draws a high tasting fee. You're drinking exclusive wines. 100-200 cases. $60 and up bottles. So expect a $50 tasting fee because what you're drinking is worth it. This isn't your average Willamette Pinot. You're getting a punch. Flavor and boldness in some of these wines that matches a Cabernet or Bordeaux. Wines that aren't light and airy but BIG. Flavorful and layered. Full palate wine. These are the wines you bring out at special occasions. The wines you store and let age a bit more. The wine you use to impress people with. You won't find Nysa at the grocery store, or liquor store. You'll find it here. Nysa is the "rich land where Dionysus, the God of wine, lived." And it is not short on beauty, wine or complexity. I'm so excited that we got in prior to the "public" opening, but we will definitely be back to see everything in its full beauty. The tasting room and production facility will be finished soon and it's going to have a little rebranding to bring the label into the 2020's but rip the label off mentally and think of some excellent wine, a great view and a perfect Oregon day in the Willamette Valley and you're at Nysa. So go visit!

I AM SO EXCITED TO TRY THEIR ROSE!!! Which I didn't, so that makes me sad face. The great thing…read moreabout a winery like this is that it is small... it is full of a family of people that love making wine, and are more focused on sharing exactly *THAT* than landscaped pseudo-gardens with bad sculptures and awful chintzy cookbooks in the tasting room (yes I am looking at you Napa) I was at this event for the new (http://www.theallison.com) inn/spahotel that is being built there in Newberg. The wineries are backing it like crazy, and it was a treat to try out Atticus and spend time with them. Their winery is stunning, their wines are divine. This is a very, VERY new winery. I think the stuff we are tasting is their first crush. Beyond the name being that of one of my favourite literary characters of all time, the wine lives up to the solid, consistent, trustworthy demeanor of the namesake from To Kill a Mockingbird.... I think most of the grapes are from Yamhill Springs and Hawk's View Vineyard - they released only a couple hundred cases of each, with the reserve wine being a little darker. For a pinot it is somewhat refreshing, because it isn't unecessarily over the top or huge, attempting to compensate for lack of depth. Because of that both the earth and floral are subtle, and the oak isn't too penetrating. Anyhoo... small, small, small family winery, with extremely limited production. Like... teeny. Their youtube is adorable. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_anmPQshv0&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.atticuswine.com%2Fvideo.html&feature=player_embedded

We sat at a long table and enjoyed conversations with other fellow wine lovers as our host gave us the history of their wines and the owner. Looking out of the rolling hills of vineyards, I was dreaming of a sunny blue sky day when we could come back and sit outside. Like many tasting rooms, they had a wine cat, this one named Monster, and he was anything but! Who wouldn't want a white and orange fluffy, friendly cat hanging out with you while sipping the day away! If he was for sale, I would have purchased him along with the wine!

Oliver Springs Vineyard was our favorite stop on our small wine tour through Willamette Valley,…read morea.k.a. Oregon Wine Country. Husband and wife founders and owners Jim and Stephanie Houchins are nothing short of fantastic. The wines we tasted were excellent. After meeting Jim and Stephanie, I could really see the passion they had for wine and their vineyard. Oliver Springs is truly a labor of love for them. According to their website ( https://oliverspringsvineyard.com/ ), their first vintage year was 2016 and they "are currently producing approximately 300 cases a year, making [them] a micro-boutique winery." Our tasting consisted of the following wines: * 2021 Chardonnay * 2019 Estate Pinot Noir * 2021 Estate Pinot Noir * 2019 Kieta's Block Pinot Noir * 2019 Sasha's Block Pinot Noir The tasting, regularly $25 per person, included a sheet with tasting notes. Stephanie conducted the tasting and Jim assisted. Jim also took us on an educational and informative tour of the vineyard. Oliver Springs has multiple grape clones, which are cut and grafted from the same mother vines. I'm no wine expert/connoisseur, but I believe the general thought is clones produce more consistent, higher-quality wines. The Kieta and Sasha Block Pinot Noirs were named after two of Jim and Stephanie's huskies. A third husky, Mosey (Mozzie? I'm not sure how to spell it.), joined us for our tasting and vineyard tour, which added to the experience. :) Oliver Springs is a small operation. I believe the vineyard is only about 3.5 acres. I know it's not Stephanie's full-time job and I guess probably not for Jim either. They're open on weekends by appointment only. Our group of eight visited on a Saturday morning around 10:30am. We left shortly after 12:00pm. They have a relatively small, simple, clean, and modern building with a tasting room inside. Unlike many other wineries, this one provides an intimate, get-to-know-the-owners type wine-tasting experience. Several of us ended up ordering wine afterwards. The wine cost anywhere from $42 to $50 per bottle. As is customary, they have wine clubs you can join as well. See my pictures or contact them for more info. If you're putting together a list of wineries to visit in Oregon, I highly recommend Oliver Springs Vineyard.

I'm not a Pinot Noir person as a rule, but he had 3 that I could drink very happily. He also had the best, bar none, a GSM!!!! That did go home with me. The 2021 Merlot-Malbec was so delicious that it also came home with me. The Syrah and Melbec oh my! Seriously if you haven't been or it's been a while you need to go! I plan I going again and bringing more friends to try his amazing wines! See you soon Carlo & Julian Winery!!!
