As the public finally learns that sparkling wine is more than just Champagne, producers of sparklers in the United States are getting more attention. A recent article in an Oregon newspaper rounds up several of the top producers in the Willamette Valley which are creating sparkling wines. The climate is similar to the Champagne region in France and to England which has also been creating well-regarding sparkling wines recently.
Some of Oregon’s best include:
Domaine Meriwether, a specialty winery which focuses on the method champenoise and creates four different cuvees including a Blanc de Blancs.
Silvan Ridge makes a semi-sparkling early muscat which sells for $14.
La Velle makes a sparkling wine that is from 100% pinot noir grapes and sells for $22.
Argyle Winery is the largest producer of sparkling wines. Their 1998 Blanc de Blancs sells for $30.
