Hi Reader,

It’s been a busy start to the year! If you’re planning out your 2025 wine adventures (because same 🙋‍♀️), I’ve got you covered.

I’m working on a whole bunch of new wine country itineraries that should be ready next month. In the meantime, you can find the latest ones here.

🔍 Speaking of adventures…

Let me tell you about a winery that’s equal parts wine and mystery: Ghost Hill Cellars.

I recently had the chance to join a virtual tasting with Bernadette and Cam, two of the lovely humans behind this family-owned winery.

They shared stories about their vineyard on Savannah Ridge in the Willamette Valley, where their family has farmed the land since 1906.

👻 A Spooky Story

The winery was named after the legend of a gold prospector who camped on the ridge in the late 1800s. He planned to sell his treasure but met an untimely end when both he and his horse were killed, and his gold was stolen.

Some say his ghost still roams the ridge, searching for his lost fortune. (But don’t worry, he hasn’t crashed a tasting yet!)

🍷 Their wines, though? Totally haunting…in the best way.

• 2021 Bayliss Bower Vineyard Pinot Noir: Feels like cozying up by a fire on a crisp evening. With red cherry, raspberry, warm spices, and silky smooth tannins, it’s elegant yet comforting. Perfect with salmon or lamb.
• Pinot Noir Blanc: One of the first white Pinots in the valley (and a best seller for a reason). Crisp, refreshing, and made for carefree sunny afternoons.

👉 If you’re heading to the Willamette Valley this year or looking for new Pinots to try, put Ghost Hill Cellars on your list!

Cheers,

Laura

Ghost Hill Cellars generously sent me the wine for this tasting. While the wine was gifted, the opinions (and enthusiasm) are all mine.
