ABOUT SOKOL BLOSSER:
When Susan Sokol and Bill Blosser planted their first vines in the Dundee Hills AVA (American Viticultural Area) of the Willamette Valley in 1971, they needed all of their youthful self-confidence, energy, youthful self-confidence, energy and determination to make their way because, at the time, there was no wine industry in Oregon.
Today, with over 900 wineries and more than 37,000 acres of planted vineyards, Oregon has grown exponentially and its wines are available throughout the world. Sokol Blosser has survived, grown and prospered as a family-owned and run operation, and they are proud to have been part of developing and shaping Oregon’s now prominent wine industry.
Sokol Blosser creates wines of world class quality that are produced sustainably, mindful of the environment, that express the distinctive flavors of our hillside vineyards. Their wines reflect who they are – their values and their sense of place.
