Welcome to the OPNC
Make purchases without joining, or join to receive monthly shipments of Oregon's best stuff. The Oregon Pinot Noir Club is located in the Center of Oregon Wine Country. Travelling frequently to barrel-taste with winemakers, we seek out and acquire the top Oregon wines, including single-vineyard bottlings, special cuvees, and limited-release wines that are often not available outside of Oregon.

JULY 2010
Drinkability: Decant, or wait 1-3 years
Availability: Good for now
DeLancelotti Vineyard was first brought to the public's attention when winemaker Josh Bergstrom began crafting a single-vineyard wine from the site. While Josh may not own the vineyard, he certainly had reason to use the fruit - his sister and brother-in-law, the DeLancelotti's, own the vineyard! In fact, the De Lancelotti vineyard and family home are...More

Each year, the first Oregon pinot noir on the market from the new vintage is the O'Reilly's Pinot Noir from our close friend David O'Reilly at Owen Roe. It's a fruity, tasty wine that creates quite a stampede - people like a deal!
Well, here's two new releases that are both BETTER than O'Reilly's, CHEAPER than O'Reilly's, and . . . well . . . you should buy them if you want some really tasty bargain-level wine!

 Shea Wine Cellars Pinot Noir "Block 5" 2008
Click

AUGUST 2010
There are quite a few terrific '08 pinots on the market now, and more to come. But among all of those, the wines of Dick Shea have sold faster, and at stronger prices, than anything else I am aware of. The combination of critical raves and the famous Shea Vineyard fruit has created a kind of buying frenzy that I have not seen for Oregon pinot in about 2 years.
This is also the LAST '08 block-designated bottling from Dick...More
