Pacific Rim
Why are we obsessed with Riesling? Riesling simply is the most versatile, complex and food-friendly of all the noble grapes. If you enjoy discovering new wines and inspiring your palate, then Riesling is your ideal wine. Riesling's crisp, vibrant characteristics are a fresh alternative to heavier, oak-laden white wines. No other varietal can be crafted to express so many different and wondrous characteristics — from bone dry with floral aromas to dessert sweet with spicy aromas. And Washington's Columbia Valley — home of Pacific Rim — provides the ideal soils and climate for growing Riesling. There's no end to Riesling's versatility.

Abacela
Earl and Hilda Jones searched for three years before they founded Abacela in Roseburg in 1992.  A combination of their new found enjoyment of Spanish culture, love for Tempranillo wines, and the exciting challenge of trying to produce a Spanish style Tempranillo varietal wine in America drove their dream of Abacela. Their passion fueled a scientific inquiry on both sides of the Atlantic and energized the planning, vineyard and winery work necessary to make the dream a reality.
