The Best Willamette Valley Wine Tastings and Wineries | Eater Portland

"This Ribbon Ridge winery makes a number of bottles with 90+ scores from Wine Enthusiast and James Suckling, but that’s not its only calling card: it covers a wide swath of Willamette Valley wine regions and varietals, including Dundee Hills pinot and Coast Range riesling; it also serves as an art gallery for winemaker and owner James Frey. Frey’s paintings are like his wines, distinctive and nuanced. Visitors can taste indoors or out, on a covered deck overlooking the vineyard or within the gallery, with reservations recommended. It’s open daily from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m." - Katherine Chew Hamilton
