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: Once Lost, Now Found

Muscat Canelli, Food's Best Friend
Muscat Canelli is a delicious white wine made in an off-dry style. Despite its slight sweetness, this wine is a very versatile wine to pair with many different types of food. From light desserts to salads, even to delicious take-out!
Celebrating Mali For International Women's Day!
We’re celebrating International Women’s Day by gushing over our incredible Director of Operations, Mali Lubash! She joined our team almost a year ago and has made leaps and bounds of improvements to our business. We are so lucky to have her.
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.
Rosé For Winter? Groundbreaking.
Forget what you heard about Rosé, delightful in the Summer sure, but have you ever had a Rosé tailored to brighten your spirits during the Winter?
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.
Rizzo's Wine Cellar
With age, comes beauty. This is something we firmly believe in at Rizzo Winery. We have a deep understanding of our wines, which is why we wait to sell them until they are at their absolute best, often after many years of laying in our cellar.
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.
Holiday Season At Rizzo Winery!

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.
