Food & Wine: Bring on the Bubbles

Food & Wine recently highlighted Oregon’s sparkling wine scene in an article by Jacy Topps, noting the Willamette Valley, and the Dundee Hills within it, as an emerging destination for world-class sparkling wine.

Topps includes several Dundee Hills wineries that are at the forefront of this movement.
