Congratulations to Beaux Frères 

#9 in Wine Spectator’s Top 100 of 2020


Beaux Frères is one of the great names in Oregon wine—a producer that helped put the Willamette Valley on the map. Big, rich wines with lots of character (plus a familial relation to the Mayor of Monkton) mean that these wines were some of the first collectable bottles from our corner of the wine world.

Beaux Frères’ continued excellence was recently rewarded by Wine Spectator, who recognized the 2018 Beaux Frères Vineyard Pinot Noir as its #9 wine of 2020.

The Legendary Tawny & Colheita Ports

From Kopke


While we might yet be waiting for winter in Portland (considering 2020 has three weeks left, expect a snowmageddon) it is certainly time for Port. The temperatures have dropped and we’ve still got every excuse to stay home and enjoy the full breadth of a wine that will warm you, head to toe. There are a million reasons to close out the year with the amazing wines of Kopke.

The Champagne House That Keeps Other Importers Up At Night

While Vinopolis does not have a “house” Champagne, if there was one that we recommend more than any other it might well be the Grand Réserve and the Silver Brut Nature, both from Andre Clouet. These have been stalwarts of our bubble section for quite a while and are that against which we measure new value-minded Champagnes. These wines to consistently over deliver. After all this time, it still seems shocking to find a sub $40 bottle of Champagne that doesn’t disappoint.
