Laurel Ridge Winery 1 Items

First founded in 1883 by a German winemaking family, the original "Rueters Hill Winery" was replanted in 1966 and is today owned by David and Susan Teppola. Winemaker Pascal Valadier came to the winery in 1996 bringing a long history of French Cote du Rhone winemaking skills. The winery is planted to Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, White Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Blanc, and Semillon. Laurel Ridge is one of a handful of Oregon wineries making sparkling wines in the traditional Frech "Method Champenoise"; their current sparkling releases are a 1994 Vintage Brut and a Non-vintage Cuvee Blanc.
