How about bubbles from Wetzel Estate paired with lounging on the Umpqua River? Yes, please. We enjoyed this deep yellow, lightly off dry, medium-effervescent, medium-bodied sparkling wine on an anniversary road trip to Steamboat Inn.
Notes of ripe pear and pineapple give way to a caramel-and-brioche finish on the palate. The fruit – 97% Riesling and 3% Muscat – was sourced from Andreas Vineyard, which is LIVE Certified Sustainable, in the Van Duzer Corridor AVA of Willamette Valley.
