the Rizzo winery NOTEBOOK
At Rizzo, we want to help our valued customers learn about how many hands this bottle went through before reaching their glass - or why wine has been the chosen beverage for thousands of years throughout history. We wanted to share the tools that enable our wine lovers to feel confident about discussing the bottle of Rizzo they are drinking with friends.
We created the Notebook to help get you there and to pass on our wealth of knowledge to you.

Carménère is a grape with a very interesting history and creates delicious wines. We source our grapes from Oregon’s Columbia Valley, and now have wines exclusive to our Tasting Room that you should come and taste.
Rizzo's Spotlight: Viognier
Viognier is one of the most delicious white wines there is, change our minds. Though it’s not often planted in the Willamette Valley, we took a chance and now make a wine that’s filled to the brim with textural intensity and pungent floral and fruit flavors.
Rizzo's Spotlight: 2011 Estate Pinot Noir
The 2011 Vintage in the Willamette Valley is a Cinderella story of patience, determination, and trust. A beautiful explanation of why some wines need a little extra time (in this case a decade) to show us what they’re truly meant to be.
We Reflect On 2020
At Rizzo Winery we reflect on this past year. Struck with hardship, we gained determination and decided we needed to better connect with you all. We are so grateful to those who enjoy our wines, and we are so excited for what lies ahead.
Rizzo's Spotlight: Cabernet Sauvignon!
Rizzo Winery is based in the Eola-Amity Hills, a sub-region of the famed Pinot Noir King: Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Though Pinot Noir is king, winemaker David Rizzo has an affinity for bolder red wines, specifically Cabernet Sauvignon. This grape is what made David want to start creating wine, and in turn, Rizzo Winery was born.
