73% Informative

Winemaking in Oregon dates back to 1847 , and it went through the same trials and tribulations as all American wineries did with the onset of prohibition which ended in 1933 .

The Willamette Valley is pinot noir central with 23 AVAs ( American Viticultural Areas ) within the state.

Oregon chardonnay has been coming on strong, and, dare I say it, quite Burgundian in style.

Geoff Last is a long-time Calgary wine merchant writer, instructor, and broadcaster.

He was awarded a fellowship at Napa Valley’s Symposium of Professional Wine Writers for articles that have appeared in this column.

He can be heard every Friday on CJSW 's Road Pops program between 4 -6 p.m..
