E32 - Remy Wines, Oregon, USA

For Episode 32, we dive into the fascinating world of Remy Drabkin, owner and winemaker at Remy Wines, located in the heart of McMinnville, Oregon. Remy is not your typical winemaker in a region renowned for its Pinot Noir. Instead, she has carved out a unique niche with her eponymous label, "Remy Wines", and the beloved "Three Wives Wines", focusing on Italian-style varietals and innovative blends that bring a fresh perspective to Oregon's wine scene.  In this engaging episode, Remy shares her inspiring journey from growing up among the pioneering winemakers of the Willamette Valley to becoming a trailblazer herself. With a deep respect for tradition but a bold disregard for convention, she has mastered the art of crafting distinctive wines from northern Italian grape varieties such as Nebbiolo, Sangiovese, and Dolcetto, right in the Pacific Northwest. Remy also opens up about her commitment to sustainability, showcased in her new state-of-the-art winery facility built with a unique carbon-neutral concrete formula. Beyond her winemaking, Remy is a dedicated community leader, currently serving as the Mayor of McMinnville and actively advocating for LGBTQ+ rights. Tune in to hear Remy’s passion for winemaking, her dedication to inclusivity, and her vision for the future of the Oregon wine industry.
