The Best Willamette Valley Wine Tastings and Wineries | Eater Portland

"Susan Sokol and Bill Blosser planted this vineyard’s first vines in the Dundee Hills in 1971, making it one of the oldest in the valley. The winery is still largely a family business: Alex Sokol Blosser, Susan and Bill’s son, runs the company, and Robin Howell, who’s been with Sokol Blosser since 2012 and was instrumental in establishing the winery as a sparkling powerhouse, heads up the winemaking side. Sokol Blosser’s wide-ranging selection of pinots is impressive, as are its fun blends and sparkling wines — that’s not to mention the extensive food program. Walk-ins are welcome depending on availability, but it’s best to reserve. Sokol Blosser is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m." - Katherine Chew Hamilton
