Stories Of Southern Oregon: A Wine Judge's View Of Oregon Wine

Your browser doesn’t support HTML5 audio

Wines from Oregon have grown in stature around the world. Not just because they went on sale elsewhere, but because people who know wines sampled them and found them good.

The wine samplers include Deborah Parker Wong, who is a highly trained and highly skilled wine judge. She is this month's guest in Stories of Southern Oregon, with curator Maureen Flanagan Battistella.

We learn about the training it takes to rise to the top of the wine judging profession, and about the slow wine movement. Deborah Parker Wong is the editor of Slow Wine USA's guide.
