Tierra De Lobos is a boutique operation from Dallesport, Washington with a tasting room in The Dalles, Oregon. The winery is operated by Adolfo and Gabino with an annual production of 1,000 to 1,500 cases. 

The dream started in 2012, as Adolfo and Gamino looked to get out of the rainy Pacific Northwest and found themselves a little piece of heaven on the dryer side of the Cascades. The land already had three acres of established grapes, but they saw an opportunity to be more than just growers. And while they're not certified organic, they aim to treat their land with respect and refrain from using any chemicals or fungicides in their vineyard.

At Tierra De Lobos, they love to showcase the true characters and flavors of each grape varietal—their goal is to make wines as purely as possible with minimal intervention or additives. Their tasting room in The Dalles is right along the mighty Columbia River, where you can enjoy a glass of wine while taking in the gorgeous scenery!

Along with lead vocals, Re plays rhythm guitar, while Larry plays rhythm and lead.

Franco Marchesi’s passion for wine began in his hometown of Borgosesia, Piemonte, Italy. As a child he always wondered what it would be like to be a winemaker like his grandfather Achille. In 1977, when he was just twenty-two, Franco came to the states to work as a sommelier for a luxury cruise line based in San Francisco. After nine years at sea, he decided to stay permanently in San Francisco. His career in the world of wine lasted almost two decades. He became wine buyer for a leading San Francisco Italian restaurant, and soon found himself running his own import company specializing in Italian wines.

Not surprisingly, with over twenty years in the wine business under his belt, Franco found himself leaving California to live in Oregon’s Columbia Gorge region, where the latitude is exactly the same as his beloved birthplace of Piemonte. He fell in love with the spectacular landscape defined by Mount Hood. "The climate and soil here are just like Northern Italy," he muses.

Franco began planting his favorite Northern Italian grapes on an abandoned apple orchard in Hood River, which he purchased and started to revitalize in 2003. He found it was the ideal location for his very own winemaking business, Marchesi Vineyards & Winery.

Their estate is a blend of old-world charm and the breathtaking beauty of the Columbia Gorge. They craft their wines with a passion that reflects the rich heritage of Italian winemaking—each bottle tells a story of dedication and love for the craft.

Founded in 1950 in the town of Serdiana by Salvatore Pala, PALA has been synonymous with Sardinian winemaking for generations. As one of the most geologically unique regions in the Mediterranean, this island is often called a “mini-continent,” with a landscape that ranges from snowcapped mountains to limestone hills and sandy shores. These conditions have nurtured native grape varieties like Vermentino, Cannonau, Nuragus, and Monica, which reflect the island’s distinctive climate and culture.

Sardinia’s natural environment lends itself to organic viticulture, and Pala has embraced this ethos fully with an approach called lutte raisonée - reasonable sustainability. The island’s abundant sunlight, coastal winds, and minimal rainfall create conditions that naturally reduce the need for chemical treatments. By prioritizing sustainability, Pala ensures healthier soils, cleaner water, and wines that reflect the purity of the region’s terroir.

Sardinia, one of the world's five "Blue Zones," is home to one of the healthiest and longest-living populations. This can be partly credited to the islanders' low-stress lifestyle, a healthy Mediterranean diet, and their substantial Sardinia wine consumption!

Mike Phillips moved to Oregon in 2005 to explore its music scene and follow in the footsteps of his favorite artist at the time, Elliott Smith. Between 2006 and 2007 he joined a band with a popular run that included winning a Battle of the Bands at the Crystal Ballroom; releasing a single via Starbucks’ Hear Music record label; opening for acclaimed artists including Everclear and Seven Mary Three; touring 36 states —and immediately breaking up upon their return. Hailing back to a 90s-era PNW-style singer-songwriter tradition, he’s since turned his musical interests to pseudo-folk originals with an international flavor, storytelling, and Irish folk music specifically. In 2024 he moved to Gresham; folkefire is the latest incantation of his musical and personal interests.

Mendivia (Men-dée-via) is an Oregon winery rooted in a love of Spanish culture and grape varieties, a commitment to mindful winemaking, and appreciation for Oregon's unique vineyards.  Sourcing from solely organic and biodynamic vineyards, their wines are made with thoughtful craftsmanship to find the distinction in each vineyard site.

The name of the winery is rooted in winemaker and co-founder Colin Howard’s family heritage. His great-grandparents emigrated from Spain to Cuba, and from there to the U.S. However, Colin was always fascinated by his Iberian heritage and he felt an immediate connection to the culture during his visits to Spain. The unhurried pace of life, and the intentional and holistic approach to living resonated deeply with Colin—reclaiming the Mendivia name for his wine label felt meaningful and natural.

They are focused everyday on delivering wines that are compelling, energetic, and balanced.  Their wines are always made with food and dining in mind, but also to celebrate the "full table" experience.  Enjoy with friends and family, and they hope their wines can add to your lasting memories, no matter how big or small.

Join us for the Fall release of their 2024 "Dia Bonito" Albariño Threemile Vineyard and 2023 "La Carrera" Tempranillo Upper Five Vineyard.
