# Talk:Oregon wine

I listed a few of the wines that I personally believe are notable but feel free to edit. I think ideally the list (for an article of this scope) should be around 5 wineries--especially when a concrete guideline on what makes a Winery notable hasn't been established.

It's OK for a list of wineries to include those which aren't notable enough to have a Wikipedia article.  That said, I'd limit it to vineyards which meet any of the following:
Significant production (how much)?
Major awards or positive press from notable wine critics
Have their own AVA (I know, this is marketing, but if the BATF thinks a wine is notable, I won't argue...)
In a list, I'm not opposed to being exhaustive rather than exclusive.  The main thing is to ensure that all entries and be verified from independent sources; a criterion which somebody growing grapes in their backyard garden and selling bottles of the stuff at the local farmer's market might not be able to satisfy.  (And Oregon has plenty of those, let me tell you...)

I don't know if this would fit into the article, but Woodhall Vineyard is an experimental vineyard of Oregon State University near Alpine, Oregon. The link is currently broken, but here is the cached version of the history of the vineyard: [1] [2]. Katr67 18:59, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
