We happened to stumble in this weekend where they had an "Open House" and allowed walk ins. The Rosé of Pinot Noir was the clear star. It was light and fruit forward in all the right ways.

I am writing this review upon my second visit to this wonderful Winery. The Styring Family is…read moreamazing and always welcoming. The wines blew my mind the first time and I left with Relentless as well as Shameless with matching Tshirt. When I walked in for the second visit wearing my Shameless Tshirt I got hugs and a gracious welcome. This winery is doing exciting things beyond just wine! Their son is working on a sustainability non-profit project and their beautiful daughter is working with her dad to create an exclusive Hazelnut Liqueur. I was privileged to get a good whiff of it and I hope to be one of the first to taste and purchase their new product! I am a huge fan of their magnificent wines. I must say that the review left by Dr.X only leaves me to believe X must have burned his pallet prior to tasting these seductive wines. "Shameless" is truly that! - it overwhelms, not just your taste buds but your core - and for a second you doubt the sanctity if allowing yourself to indulge in more, yet you will (and should) with abandon. While I am usually a Red Wine Goddess... We are approaching Summer and my entire mission for this trip was to collect delicious, refreshing Summer Whites. The Styring Riesling completely met my needs. The name "Whimsy" couldn't be more perfect. Needless to say, this visit, I left with some whimsy shamelessness and a brand new "breathless" Tshirt. Glorious!

We had a fantastic wine time sipping on all of varietals and I brought home a syrah. I Highly recommend if you want more than just Pinots in your next tasting adventure, stop by here.

But this time they were closing early for a wedding and doing all the prep for that while trying to serve customers. The poor staff serving the wine tastings were frazzled from being pulled in multiple directions. We had to wait a long time before being served and longer in between pours. I would suggest that next time you host an event like that you close earlier or shut down for the day. It was not a pleasant experience for customers and it appeared the wedding party arrived early too and they would have had more space to relax and enjoy their special day if there were no customers around. But again... I usually have an excellent experience! Wine selection is amazing!! The staff are so knowledgeable and friendly. And the setting and ambience amazing! They have fun events throughout the year. You must go Halloween weekend and get a Taro reading! We had so much fun last year. And they have great deals on wines. I suggest going just not on a day they are closing early for an event.

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!

My friends and I had a fantastic time in the Willamette Valley, and it was very much thanks to Ken!…read moreKen had everything planned out for our two-day wine-tasting tour. We wanted to see a lot, so we had a very ambitious weekend of four wineries Saturday and four more on Sunday. It was perfect for our group who wanted to spend the majority of our time tasting (when we weren't tasting, we were eating at the local restaurants). Ken also had some excellent recommendations for our dinners! Ken was so helpful in organizing everything ahead of time. All we had to do was show up! The wineries he picked for us were a great mix of different types of facilities so we were able to get a wide range of experiences. It was also helpful that Ken knew so many of our hosts at each place. Tamara also spent the first half of our day on Sunday with us, and she is absolutely lovely! These two make a wonderful team, and we even got to meet one of their daughters who was working at one of the wineries we visited. They are such a warm, welcoming family with a great love for history and the valley, and it all shines through their business. I can't speak highly enough of our weekend in Oregon with Wine History Tours. I will absolutely reach out to Ken next time I'm out in that area. Which, now that I've been once, I imagine will be sooner rather than later.
