2017 Sparkling Brut Review

Day 26 of Oregon Sparkling! I remember the day I went to pick up the 2017 Sparkling Brut from Winderlea in July. Do you remember the one weekend where it was 116 crazy hot? It was that day when I walked into the tasting room, and the front desk said, “You must be A.J.” I was a little shocked, to say the least, but they knew I wasn’t there for a tasting and wasn’t expecting anyone else. I am sure they had a picture or something on me as well. I mention the encounter because hospitality like this people remember forever creating loyal customers for years on end. I will never forget this experience nor the Sparkling Brut! 🥂 Fact Vintage and Non-Vintage (NV). Most champagnes are blends of different vintages to make up a consistent house style. Single vintage champagnes are usually special bottlings from good years sold at a higher price. 🥂 Winery - Winderlea Wine has a magical prowess of attracting individuals looking for second careers exploring their passions. Founders Bill Sweat and Donna Morris picked up their life in Boston to explore the essence of Oregon Pinot Noir. Winderlea is certified Bio-Dynamic and a certified B-Corp.
