Girardet Vineyards & Winery

Melrose Vineyards ~ Roseburg, OR ~ A Winery Fav!

Melrose Vineyards is a great winery to visit, taste and explore in the Roseburg, Oregon area! We enjoyed the four yellow dogs that greeted us and took our black Lab in for the day. The tasting room, staff and grounds were all fabulous! And the wine? YUM ~ we are ready to go back!

Being a member of Harvest Hosts allowed us to stay the night at this wonderful winery!

After some encouragement in the comments, we picked up 3 wines from Southern Oregon from the show. Chas grew up in the area, so you can look forward to more in the future. For this show, we tasted the 2008 Girardet Umpqua Valley Barrel Select Pinot Noir, the 2007 Abacela Tempranillo Cuvee, and the 2007 Roxy Ann Claret. What is your favorite wine from Walla Walla?
