Willamette Valley Vineyards is once again asking Pinot Noir lovers from around the country to tell them “Why I Love Oregon Pinot Noir.” The most creative entry will win the Grand Prize of an all- expense-paid trip for two to Oregon Wine Country and Willamette Valley Vineyards.

Founder, Jim Bernau states, “In my 30 years at Willamette Valley Vineyards, I have found many reasons to love Oregon Pinot Noir. I look forward to hearing the entries and extending an Oregon Wine Country experience with the winners.”

Last year, Angela S. of Clovis, New Mexico started her entry with, “It was a dark and stormy night when Oregon Pinot Noir walked into my life…” and ended up visiting the winery during the annual Oregon Grape Stomp Championships in September.
