Flinty. Pleasant and dry. Mineral driven. Super interesting expression of this varietal from an unexpected region. Well done! 👍

Melon de Bourgogne aged on the lees. Fantastic. Creamy, tropical fruit, strawberries. Wow!

Have been on a Willamette Valley kick as of late. Decided to go with a grape you might not associate with Oregon but that should be on your radar. Far away from its spiritual home of Muscadet!

Great with bean salad, its saline and heat makes it fish worthy

Distinctly Oregon Melon. Hits the saline and acid, but is round and soft with an unexpected creaminess. I like it.
