Burgundy luminaries like Dominique Lafon are looking to Oregon's Willamette Valley as the next great source of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir; Marcus Goodfellow is one of the reasons why. Launched in 2002, Goodfellow Wines focuses on old vines planted in uniquely beautiful sites, conscientious farming, and techniques of tradition in the cellar. They work with iconic Willamette Vineyards like Temperance Hill, Durant, and Whistling Ridge, making parcel-specific bottlings that express their sites with immense clarity. Their standing as one of Oregon's great producers of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay has been well-established. Now, Marcus is launching a passion project a long time in the making: a lineup of Champagne-method bubbles made from those very same exceptional vineyard sites. VB/SC alum Maria Castelli will join us to pour through the single-parcel Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that has cemented Goodfellow's status among the greats, and will introduce Marcus' sparkling project as well. These are the kinds of wines good enough to jumpstart a near obsession with the Willamette Valley - don't miss this one!
