In the Press

We're celebrating 20 years of Love & Squalor Wine this fall, and word is getting out about The Great Portland Grape Stomp — our October 10th anniversary bash at the Crushpad.

Wine Business picked up the news of Portland's first urban grape stomp, spotlighting the block-party spirit behind the event.

Sip Magazine dug into the details, from the I Love Lucy-inspired costume contest to the twenty teams of four squaring off for stomping glory, and caught up with Matt on what the milestone means for the winery and the neighborhood that's supported it for two decades.

Grab tickets and get the full scoop here — and see you at the Crushpad on October 10th.
