What food pairings work well with Willamette Valley Pinot Noir?
Oregon Pinot Noir's earthy, red-fruit character pairs beautifully with salmon, duck, mushroom dishes, and charcuterie. Tasting room staff at Salem wineries can usually offer specific pairing suggestions based on the particular wines you're tasting that day.
