"Hooked on Italian varietals" while making wine with "a bunch of old Italian men," Remy Drabkin has taken her Oregon-based winemaking skills (she's worked Oregon's harvests since the age of 13) and headed in a new direction. In Pinot-centric McMinnville, she makes Italian inspired Sangiovese, Barbera, Lagrein, and red blends.

Remy's wines are made with considerable skill and a distinct point of view, usually developed at a much later age. She has a cult following among Willamette Valley winemaking families and friends. She's on a trajectory to become one of Oregon's winemaking stars. It's time to try Remy's Wines.
