When you open the Portlandia website, you are greeted with large bold letters that say, 'PLAY HARD WORK LATER!'... A piece of advice we certainly can't just ignore. It also says a lot about the founder and winemaker Damian Davis, who in 1999 set off on a long road trip from Florida to the northwest of the United States in search of a job in the technology sector. When he arrived in the Willamette Valley during harvest season, he instantly fell in love with the most beautiful landscape he had ever seen. By the time he reached his final destination, his car was so loaded with wine bottles that he could barely make it. In 2008, he decided to leave his career behind and make a fresh start in the wine industry. Portlandia was born. In this rather cool climate, Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris are the absolute protagonists. With the help of Adam LaZarre, Damian produces a range of extraordinary wines that combine exceptional taste pleasure with a pleasant price.
