Christopher Michael Red 2017

In 2009, Ryan and Eric Harms started Christopher Michael Wines. The idea was simple; to use their home base in Oregon’s Willamette Valley to craft outstanding wines. They live and love what Oregon is: a place for doers, makers, explorers, artisans, and entrepreneurs who craft authentic, real, honest, quality goods they are proud of. These values live within them as they explore the awe-inspiring regions across the Pacific Northwest. They believe geographic boundaries shouldn’t define the wines. The wines are created to be fresh, approachable, and ready for any occasion anywhere.

What makes the Pacific Northwest so unique? The fact that dense forests, winding waterways, and snow-packed peaks are all in our backyard? Or is it that no matter how far you go and how many sights you see, there's always more to explore? Each wine is crafted with this reverence of place—but their goal is to never stop exploring new regions and new wines.

They're creating wine for those who cherish the wonder in wandering, who understand that the best places to explore are sometimes right around the corner, and for those of us who opt for the long way home. Inspired by the Pacific Northwest, and #MadebyOregon.
