Oregon Wine + Food charts the history of this region’s celebrated terroir through the stories of its renegade winemakers and recipes from some of the best chefs across the state.

Wine and food are the great connectors. That’s something you’ll read in many of the winemaker profiles in this book. It’s a big reason many of them pursued a career in wine—to connect to soil, to seasons, to friends and family, to other cultures, to humanity. For many in this book, wine is a universal language. An expression of time and place and memories best shared around the dinner table.
