J. Christopher Wines A ZETO WINES SELECTIONS PORTFOLIO WINERY
Oregon Jay Somers (owner/winemaker) makes only about 2,000 cases of wine a year (between 8 different wines that he makes)! He’s hands-on, dedicated to quality, not quantity. One of the most respected young winemakers in Oregon, Jay's a winemaker to watch -- buy his wines now. J. Christopher Wines is a small winery located in Oregon’s Northern Willamette Valley. “We specialize in Pinot Noir from the Dundee Hills made in the traditional style of Burgundy and highly aromatic stainless steel fermented white wines such as Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Chardonnay that reflect the terroir and varietal from which they are produced.” Jay Somers learned much from Cameron winery owner John Paul while he worked as that winery’s assistant winemaker. Paul gave Somer’s the okay to make his wine at Cameron where he bottled 3 vintages. Then he and Bill Holloran, owner of Holloran Vineyards Winery, teamed up and now Somers makes wines for his and the Holloran label.” The J. Christopher wines have attracted some sparkling comments in the press, but the label still remains under the radar of the slick, ad driven wine magazines. Zeto applauds the J. Christopher wines and the superb winemaking skills that every one of Jay Somer's wines reveal. Somers is a hands on master of grape selection and down right terrific winemaker!
