"It’s a trek from Portland proper, but visiting this Wilsonville-based, family-owned distillery is worth the miles. The Ly family possess quite the lineage when it comes to distilling alcohol. With ties to both Vietnam and China, they’ve been producing spirits from family recipes for over seven generations, responsible for the first rice vodka and rice whiskey produced and bottled in the U.S. But Vinn is perhaps best known for its baijiu, a high-proof rice-based clear spirit with subtle toasty cereal notes. As a small family-run business, Vinn has no set hours but is typically open most afternoons — call to set up a tour or tasting." - Adam Sawyer, Nathan Williams
