This large AVA covers two counties in Washington and two in Oregon. We will explore this in more detail in a future article., a third-generation winemaker.
Peter’s winemaker skills blossomed under the guidance of his dad Rich, who has over 25 years of experience. Rich was raised in the small town of Hood River and obtained his education at the UC Davis, California, winemaking program. Rich went to Germany on a one-year apprenticeship program to further his craft. That is when he developed his love for Riesling. Rich returned to the Willamette Valley and worked with Dick Erath, who became an icon in the area.
We sampled many of Peter’s wines, and our favorite is their cabernet sauvignon from the Walla Walla vineyard. Full of body – it screams to be paired with a steak. This is one of the differences between Peter and his dad; Peter likes the bolder reds, and his dad prefers making much softer reds and Riesling.Drive 15 minutes from the town of Hood River, and you will find yourself on a high ridge overlooking Mt Hood and beautiful farm country.

Sitting on the porch and enjoying some snacks, we sampled three tastings. We decided our favorite was Airlies Redflesh Single Varietal Cider grown in King’s Valley, Oregon The Airlie Redflesh apple, also known as the Mountain Rose, has a yellow-green skin and beautiful rose-colored flesh. The cider has a light sugar finish with a very refreshing acidity. We also enjoyed the Sakura Ridge Pippin Cider, which uses 100% estate apples.
The following day, we woke up to an amazing sunrise and a view of Mt. Hood and the moon. Then the sheep strolled by our window. I could have stayed in our spacious room all day, but we had a farm egg omelet for breakfast and other fresh garden delights waiting for us. We started with the upside-down rhubarb coffee cake, which was light and delicious with rhubarb fresh from the garden.
