Cramoisi Vineyard
Dundee Hills
“[Owner] Sophia Torres makes her own wine and usually handles the tasting in her tiny, quintessentially Oregonian tasting room,” says Remy Drabkin, McMinnville mayor, Queer Wine Fest founder and owner-winemaker of Remy Wines.
The operation uses biodynamic and organic farming techniques to create its boutique wines. Drabkin adds that Torres is focused on Pinot Noir—something already great—and making it better.
Plus, Torres, who is originally from Mexico City, also started the non-profit AHIVOY, an organization that offers education and opportunities to Latinx and Hispanic vineyard workers.
