Notes on the Season

As the leaves begin their splendid transformation—a veritable tapestry of golds and reds—autumn tiptoes into our lives, bringing with it the sweet scent of ripened grapes and the promise of convivial gatherings. In this season of harvest, we find ourselves at the intersection of nature's bounty and human celebration, where each bottle uncorked tells a story as rich as the soil from which it springs.

Yet, in these times of uncertainty, it may feel frivolous to ponder questions like, “What wine should I drink tonight?” or “At what temperature should I serve this Oregon Pinot Noir?” However, as esteemed wine writer Tim Atkin wisely reminds us, “Wine is not a frippery.” It has woven itself into the very fabric of our history and culture, serving as a steadfast companion through both jubilant celebrations and somber moments. In the spirit of Come Over October, a season that beckons us to cozy up and cherish time with loved ones, we’ve curated a collection of activities designed to inspire your senses and foster the warmth of community.

Sharing our wines and the stories behind them with you is truly one of our greatest joys. If you're looking for more ways to engage with us, we invite you to visit Mineral Springs Ranch for a unique tasting experience or consider becoming part of our Winegrowers Club. At Soter Vineyards, we believe that quality wine should be accessible to everyone, and our club members enjoy exclusive benefits like complimentary tastings, event invitations, and access to our entire portfolio of wines. Whether you're joining us for a Provisions Tasting or exploring our beautiful vineyard, we are dedicated to sharing our passion for winegrowing and winemaking with you. We would be delighted to connect with you. We are available by phone, text, or email, seven days a week.
