Tasting Notes

Day 3 of Oregon Sparkling! Have you heard of Cho Wines yet? Dave Cho is taking Oregon Wine Country by storm with an inaugural release of a Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc, Rose of Pinot Noir, Blanc de Noirs, and a couple of Pet-Nats. 🥂 Fact Pet-Nat is often referred to as a Sparkling using the Ancestral Method. The difference between the Ancestral Method and other methods of producing Sparkling (Method Traditional or Method Champenoise) is with Ancestral, the yeast stays in the bottle when consumed. 🥂 Winery There is a spirit in Oregon Wine Country, and it shines brightly with winemaker Dave Cho. He is the first Korean-American winemaker in Oregon. He spent time at Argyle and Stoller before creating his label of Pinot and, of course, Sparkling! Wine is always about food pairings, and Dave loves to pair Sparkling with southeast Asian-inspired foods! 🥂 Wine 2015 Blanc de Noirs 100% Pinot Noir . . . . 🥂 Want to know more The 2021 Oregon Sparkling Report is 47 pages filled with information on 29 producers and 37 labels and my top ten list.
