In Short
Technically, Argyle Winery is the Dundee Wine Company, founded in 1987 by Australian winemaker Brian Croser and local grower Cal Knudsen, of Knudsen-Erath. They set out to produce a Champagne-quality sparkling wine, since the grapes of the Champagne region do well in Oregon. Croser also makes a number of other well-received wines, including Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Riesling, and Pinot Noir.

While the prices of Argyle's wines are higher than the average stuff you'd find at Whole Foods or World Market, you definitely get what you pay for. From what I've read, Argyle has some of the highest rated wines to ever come out of Oregon, including the highest rated sparkling wine ever made in the USA. It's hard to criticize excellence - they obviously know what they're doing and they do it well. The tasting room is beautiful (century-old house, fully redone inside). I've stopped in a few times with family, and each visit was very pleasant. Everyone working there seems to actually enjoy being there, and they know a lot about their wines and how they're made. The last time I was there, I was able to try 5 different wines (various pinot noir, chardonnay and a sparkling) for about $10, which was very fair compared to other tasting rooms in Dundee. Again, the wine is tops, so it's worth trying.

Love the location of the tasting room just off 99W. The wines are above average and not out of this world expensive. Only drawback - grapes not grown on site and no ability to tour winery.

i always stop in Argyle when I'm traveling through Dundee. The tasting room is pleasant and the people are enthusiastic about their wines. I prefer the sparkling wines, especially the sparkling pinot noir. But I've never had a bad one.
