We are thrilled to share our first release of 2016 Winemakers Reserve Chardonnay, from Lonestar Vineyard in Eola-Amity Hills AVA in Oregon. We produced 83 cases, and as club members you will have the first opportunity to enjoy this wine. Because there is such a limited amount, the Reserve Chardonnay will only be available in the Edgefield Tasting Room and online.  We look forward to seeing you this summer -- cheers to Chardonnay.  Upcoming Events Cider Week June 21st-July 1st *Oregon Locations Only* Edgefield Winery has been crafting hard cider to serve in our pubs since 1992, offering clean, crisp flavors that highlight the bounty of the Pacific Northwest, as ours is sourced from the orchards of Hood River.
