We were in the Applegate valley this past Sept and really enjoyed the experience there. We really loved the wines at Devitt Winery and have had cases shipped to us. I would take the little mom and pop wineries over the glitzy's ones anyday. Most of the time they have more consistent and better wine. The Rogue valley was another surprise to us. We were not impressed with the Willamette Valley. We will stick with the S. Or. wines from now on.

I took a trip from northern California's wine country where I live up into Oregon's Willamette Valley, and then the Applegate Valley on my way back home.

I was impressed with the grapes and the flavors they contained from the Applegate Valley, and was absolutely surprised and delighted by the wines of Schmidt Family Vineyards.
