Experience the deep and abiding passion for wine-growing and profound dedication to our legacy - family. High school sweethearts Pete and Marcia Buffington discovered a late-in-life passion for growing and making wine. They raised their children on the Southwestern Oregon family cattle and sheep ranch and Pete plied the nearby ocean waters as a commercial fisherman.
A confluence of Alsatian and Grigio styles - Dry with a citrus finish yet full and fruit laden - a unique and terroir driven Willamette Valley Pinot Gris. A Cousin of Riesling, this Swiss variety (Germany's number two white wine) is floral and off-dry. Pairs beautifully with light and/or spicy cuisine.
The drink is fun and complex from start to finish, opening with aromas of peach taffy, pia colada and Ambrosia Salad. There's some roundness on the entry before the vibrant rush of quince and vibrant lemon/lime. Finishing notes of Granny Smith apple peel and jasmine make it ideal for seafood. Off-Dry and brightly spicy, this well-made wine offers surprising fruit flavors centered on papaya.

It begins with aromas of Gala apple, starfruit, candied ginger, almond skin and Graham cracker.
Off-Dry, and brightly spicy, this well-made wine offers surprising fruit flavors centered on papaya. There's ample acidity to offset the sugar, making this versatile, affordable party wine for those whom prefer their whites with a bit of sweetness. A glorious nose of Key Lime pie, Bartlett pear, lychee and spearmint does not disappoint on the palate.

We had the best evening with Pete and tasting his amazing wines! He entertained us with his stories, and he made us feel so welcome. He even refilled the crackers on the charcuterie when we were running low. His wine far surpassed any other wineries we’ve visited. We left with a case because it was too good to pass up!

Five stars is not enough - We’d give TEN stars if we could! Abiqua Wind Vineyard wines have become our house staples for guests visiting our inn, here on the Oregon Coast. Wine critics from near and far know the Willamette Valley is Pinot country and find that Abiqua’s Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir bring hearty smiles to our most discerning guests.

This has become my new wine of choice... I always have a bottle waiting when my guests arrive at my vacation rental as I love to show that 'our' East Willamette Foothills wine can rival any Willamette Valley wine!
And I am grateful the local Silverton, Oregon Safeway store carries a good selection, because I can't wait for my wine club delivery...
I am very much looking forward to this year's (2014) vintage...
I am also recommending that all my guests from Crooked Finger Farms stop in for a tasting.

Had a taste of the wine in Port Orford's Wine and Seafood Festival. Could not leave without buying my favorite. They have many wonderful wines which made it hard to choose. I got a bottle of 2011 COLLIER's Early Muscat, it is a mildly sweet, white wine that I see will be a wonderful after dinner treat.
