A LA MAIN! !

Though Pittock-Shouldis loves Pinot noir (and in my humble opinion, her Ghost Hill Cellars Pinots are some of the best in the Willamette Valley), what truly inspires her are Rhône-style wines, including Syrah from the Dukes Family Vineyard in Eola-Amity and Viognier from the Applegate Valley.

The new á La Main label showcases a piece of art by Robert Canaga featuring her two childrens’ hands with grape juice flowing between them.

One look at her label and it’s easy to appreciate not only the strength, but the passion, dedication, love and allure.

GYPSY DANCER! !

“Sometimes it’s a two-step, and sometimes it’s a solo. Dancing sets your soul free and makes you feel so many different things.

Sometimes it makes you feel sexy or mysterious. Sometimes it makes you feel silly or out of control.

Sometimes a song will make you feel sad or longing for another time and place. Personally, I have to admit, I love an Argentine Tango.

It’s so intense and sensual. Initial tension and resistance when the dance begins gives way to a tangle of feet and arms and bodies intertwined but separate. The finish flourishes with with an over the top farewell. Yes, it is a sexy dance - much like this wine.”

- Christine Andrus, Owner of Gypsy Dancer Wines

KEELER ESTATE VINEYARD! !

The story of Keeler Estate Vineyards begins in 1989 when Craig and Gabriele Keeler were searching for properties to begin a new chapter in their lives and decided to take a walk through a picturesque hillside in Amity, Oregon. When Gabriele saw, on this long time abandoned, over grown with blackberries piece of land, the view to the south with views of Mary's Peak & Oregon's coastal mountains she grabbed Craig's hand and said "CK, this is the place!". In 1990 the Keeler family moved to their 200 acre property and through many years of hard work they transformed what was once fields of blackberry's, rocky terrain and dilapidated structures to what is today; a home and Keeler Estate Vineyard.

It's a truly magical place consisting of a thriving biodynamic vineyard, gardens, forest, lakes & streams
