Why a Duck? That has confounded us for years...If you can get beyond the name and the wine label that looks like an ad for a hunting magazine, you'll be rewarded with one of the better Pinot Noirs in the Willamette Valley.
Duck Pond Cellars Pinot Noir
Yum. Voted best quaffing wine from our last visit. Subtle, delicious flavors of their special Pinot Noir inspired us to nickname this, 'The Official Beverage of Women Who Wine.'
A must visit on your Willamette Valley tour and make sure you're sporting a Mastercard. I spent a fortune on wine accessories in their gift boutique.
Why are we hard on the Duck?We've known them forever. And, it's alot easier to jab old friends. We've been imbibing in Duck Pond Pinot Noirs since they came available, in our coastal, vacation town of Netarts, OR. Back then, the low, low price of $7.00 persuaded the purchase. Times have changed, but Duck Pond is still a screaming deal. After a bottle, or two, we'd always get creative, inventing better names and prettier label designs for this favorite vino.
There is, however, one thing we can never improve upon. And, that's the subtle, delightful flavor of this most favorite quaffing wine.
* Find Duck Pond Cellars Tasting Room at 23145 Route 99W in the sweet little town of Dundee. Willamette Valley.

I've tried and I love it. Thanks for the tip.
Yes, weird name and goofy label. But the taste makes up for everything.
Duck Pond is family owned, and the name is a nod to the lane where the family home is...Duck Pond Lane, in Sunriver, OR.
maybe because it goes so great with duck :)
The Netarts Retards are always grateful Josie's Market has a good supply of the Duck on hand.
