Cayuse, Christophe Baron Champagne, Horsepower & No Girls
 
If you find yourself in Eastern Oregon, you might be surprised to find a cult. Er, cult winemaker, that is. Champagnois-turned Oregonian Christophe Baron is the man behind some of Walla Walla Valley’s finest wines that are nearly impossible to source. Though mostly associated with Washington state, a quirk in geography means the bottom smidge of this Valley is in Oregon. That smidge contains a subregion of the Valley: The Rocks District of Milton-Freewater. And Baron more or less put it on the map.
 
His Walla Walla portfolio now includes Grenache, Syrah, Tempranillo, and more sourced from Oregon and Washington.

Wine As Art:
 
Petrolo
 
In 2011, Italy approved one of Tuscany’s newest appellations: the Val d’Arno di Sopra (also written as Valdarno di Sopra). The quality of the region has been known for centuries: in 1715, a Medici duke decreed it one of only four regions notable for its high-quality wine grapes.
 
Petrolo is the most notable producer of these wines, drawing inspiration from ancient traditions of their regions and their belief that great wine is “nature as dreamed by man.” Petrolo’s wines provide a wonderful introduction to this undervalued corner of Tuscany due to both their quality, but also thanks to their forward-thinking. Their impressive single-vineyard wine, Bòggina, the wine and the name of the vineyard planted in 1952, is 100% Sangiovese.
