ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
“Winemaker and owner Julia Bailey named her label Loop de Loop because it mirrored her own trajectory as a winemaker. Time spent working in restaurants in Portland led to an interest in wine, and she headed to Europe to explore wine regions in France and Italy. Back in Oregon, she went to work at wineries, landing at Argyle before becoming the first employee hired at Patricia Green, a famous biodynamic Oregon producer. After gaining more experience from travel, working as a wine buyer and becoming certified as a sommelier, she started her own label in 2012.”*

ABOUT THE VINEYARDS:
“All wines are fermented with wild yeasts and made with minimal intervention. The vineyards we work are dry farmed and managed organically, bio-dynamically or at the very least, farmed sustainably. Our own vineyard in the Columbia Gorge AVA farmed organically with regenerative viticulture at the core of our work. We put all our hearts into these wines, and they are made to be enjoyed with food, conversation and loved ones. Thanks for being a part of what we’re creating.”
