To date, two Oregon wineries have achieved ROC: Troon now has gold status and Ambar Estates has silver. One Washington winery, Estelbrook Farms and Vineyard, located in the Columbia Gorge, also has silver status.

Oregon sparkling wine producers unite, signaling a new era for the industry as nonprofit Method Oregon sets strict standards for traditional-method sparkling wines as winemakers push onto the global stage.

Heidi Whitney-Schile didn't set out to become a brilliant chef, but food and the love of cooking and baking started at a pretty young age and it continued through college (she cooked for her roommates) and she used cooking as therapy when she found herself in a job she didn't love. When a friend asked if she would bake a wedding cake, Heidi decided right then and there - if the cake was a hit, she would quit her job and go to culinary school. The cake was a hit.
