Working for the Weekend
We had a great show at VinNebraska where the tasters loved the wines and we generated alot of new Oregon Pinot noir lovers. We also had a great showing on Sunday at the Dobbes Family Estate tasting event in Dundee, OR. They are a great partner. Share on Facebook
Vineyard Work!
