CHO Wines

CHO Wines is a small production winery in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, founded by husband-and-wife duo Dave and Lois Cho. The winery is known for its high-elevation Pinot Noir and traditional method sparkling wines, with the 2018 Blanc de Noirs earning a 95-point rating from Wine Enthusiast as one of their "Editor's Choice" selections. The Chos' winemaking style blends tradition and innovation, with Dave Cho's background in enology and viticulture from Oregon State University informing his approach. As the first Korean-American vintners in Oregon, the Chos are making a notable mark on the region's wine scene. The winery is situated at 1,000 feet elevation, with one thousand vines planted on their estate. The Chos' community-focused mindset is evident through their involvement with local organizations such as the Willamette Valley Wineries Association and Lois Cho's AAPI Food and Wine nonprofit.
