The Best Willamette Valley Wine Tastings and Wineries | Eater Portland
"Dispensed from a gleaming silver 1971 Airstream trailer on the winery’s sunny Ribbon Ridge estate vineyard, Sealionne’s casual open-air tasting pavilion and laid-back style are a nice contrast and change of pace from more formal affairs; indoor seating is also available in gloomy weather. The casual vibe fits well with the winery’s mission of making exploratory, adventurous wines through unorthodox methods like three-part aging in oak barrels, stainless steel tanks, and clay amphora. The results have caught the eye of James Suckling, with several 2022 bottles scoring over 90 points. Try pours of Willamette Valley classics like pinot noir and chardonnay along with syrah, cab franc, and rosé. Open from Thursday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., appointments are recommended but not necessary." - Katherine Chew Hamilton
