Wines from our Guests:
Jeanne and Dan – Winegrowers/Owners
When most people think of “bubbles”, they think of drinking mimosas with all their girlfriends at brunch. Before meeting Dan and Jean, I thought the same. But from now on, when I think “bubbles”, I’m going to think Corollary Wines.
This isn’t your run of the mill champagne-style wine that can be mixed with a fruit juice. These bubbles are intended and recommended to be paired with food; Dan and Jean’s intent with their wine is to bring bubbles back to the table with any meal… Even fried chicken! This interesting couples talks with such passion and knowledge about their wine that you can’t help but crave a nice, crisp glass of carbonated wine while talking to them. During this episode we certainly did!
When talking with Dan and Jean you can feel the love for their wine; it’s palpable. Even though they grew up in Oregon, they both traveled and went their separate ways for a few years. It wasn’t until they met and fell in love that they found out that winemaking was their true calling. They eventually moved back to Oregon and found a true sense of community in the wine-world.
This power couple approaches wine making the same way they approach life; through excitement and passion. You can feel that when you experience their take on the traditional-style Champagne wine.
Karen Saul – Owner
Erin Percheron – Assistant Winemaker
Brandon Correa – Vine to Wine Principal
