Sept 27th - Spin the Bottle: Amiti Wines + Rebora Wines + Love & Squalor

We’re back with another edition of Spin the Bottle, our guest winemaker series that brings fresh voices and unique perspectives into the tasting room. On Saturday, September 27th, we’re thrilled to welcome Taylor Rebora of Rebora Wines and Rueben Lange of Amiti Wines—two exciting winemakers shaping the future of Oregon wine in very different, but equally compelling ways.

Meet Rueben Lange – Amiti Wines

After years of making wine for others across three continents, Rueben launched Amiti in 2022. The name, meaning “unique qualities a person possesses to do good in the world” in Hebrew, reflects his guiding principle: people and place are at the center of everything.

Rueben avoids traditional wine labels and descriptors, encouraging drinkers to meet his wines on their own terms. Beyond that, he’s farming vineyards in Canby and White Salmon—including one planted entirely to French-American hybrids, which he champions as a sustainable, overlooked future for the industry.

He’ll be pouring a stellar lineup:

2022 “Still in the Clouds” – Chenin, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Melon de Bourgogne (Elkton AVA)
2023 “Flurries on the Riverbank” – Grenache (Columbia Gorge)
2024 “Melting Popsicles” – Leon Millot (Willamette Valley)

Meet Taylor Rebora – Rebora Wines

Taylor may only bottle a tiny amount of wine (170 cases!), but her approach is anything but small. With a degree in Wine & Viticulture from Cal Poly and vintages spanning California, New Zealand, South Africa, and Oregon, Taylor combines academic precision with the wisdom of mentors across the globe.

Her wines are about finding the best possible expression of each vineyard and vintage—without dogma, with intention. This year she’ll be sharing her 2023 Dolcetto, “Natura Morta,” from Jubilee Vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills—a wine born of her time at Beckham Estate Vineyard and her belief in capturing fleeting moments of energy in every bottle.

Why You Should Join Us

These two winemakers represent everything Spin the Bottle is about—creativity, passion, and the joy of sharing wine stories outside the mainstream. You’ll have the rare chance to taste wines that are made in tiny quantities, driven by deep values, and infused with fresh energy.

Tasting Room Update: January Hours

Our tasting room will be closed in January, but don't worry! Our online store will remain open so you can still savor your favorite Willamette Valley Pinot Noirs, Rieslings, and more.

You can have your wines shipped straight to your door or arrange for pick-up. Just email us at info@loveandsqualorwine.com or call us at 503-320-9956 and we will have your order ready at the winery. We will also be open our regular hours the weekend after Christmas, so come by to get your New Year’s wines and stock up for the winter.

We look forward to welcoming you back to the tasting room in February!

PINK PARTY FUNDRAISER FOR REPRODUCTION RIGHTS

Stand up for REPRODUCTIVE healthcare rights with us on Saturday, June 3rd, from 1 - 7pm. 

We kicked off this event last year in the tasting room after Roe vs. Wade was struck down. While we are grateful Oregon has strong protections, other states do not. Both Angie and Jess have roots in Texas so it's a natural fit to help women who do not have the same protections we do. 

This year we will donate 50% of all profits for the day to the Lilith Fund, which offers direct financial assistance for reproductive healthcare, and provides direct financial and emotional support to Texans forced to travel to access abortions, contraceptives, counseling and gender-affirming care.

We'll be pouring our pink wines and the new Skin Contact Pinot Gris paired with food from the amazing team at The Minnow (you really need to check them out). A few of the plates they are planning are a seared PNW wild-caught albacore loin, coriander & nigella spice blend, spring herb potato salad and a Spring vegetable couscous salad with snap peas, asparagus and pickled carrot magyar pepper dressing.

The Minnow delivers meals, prepped and ready to cook, to families in Portland, OR. Our ingredients are primarily sourced from local farms and product makers.

The wine lineup will be:

  • 2022 “A Frayed Knot” Skin Contact Gewurztraminer

  • 2022 Garageland Rose of Pinot Noir

  • 2022 "Walking on Gilded Splinters" Skin Contact Pinot Gris

  • 2021 Pet Matt Pét Nat Sparkling Rosé of Zinfandel

$15/person tasting fee. Food charged separately. 50% of all profits from tastings and bottle sales go to Lilith Fund. Wine Club savings apply!
