Oregon bubbles

If you've drank Argyle Sparkling Brut, then you've drank Oregon bubbles! Bet you didn't even know it.

Meet ​Rollin Soles, a born and bred Texan, replete with awesome handle bar moustache. Rollin is a legend but he's pretty humble about it. He co-founded Argyle and is the genius behind those delicious bubbles. What do you expect when Vineyard & Winery Management magazine calls him one of the "20 Most Admired Winemakers in North America”?

Now he's making this gorgeous pear briochey sparkling called RMS Brut under his new endeavor, Roco Winery (that's another story we'll share if we hear you popping a cork). 600 of its 700 cases were disgorged in 2016, so we had an opportunity to try a rare sparkling from Willamette! The RMS Brut 2013 label bears a map of the Oregon Trail, a nod to Rollin and his wife’s love for the Oregon landscape and its pioneer spirit. Now the 2014 is out.

We adore Rollin. He asked us if we wanted to help him chain saw some stuff at his winery but we were expected down the trail. Next time we're up there, we're rolling up our sleeves, popping some RMS and going for it!
