Every year, wine pros and pinot noir-loving civilians flock to the Willamette Valley for the International Pinot Noir Conference, Pinot Camp and winery visits to check out the latest, greatest and potentially coveted pinot noirs made in Oregon. What a lot of unsuspecting folks realize is that Oregon, and the Willamette Valley in particular, not only makes superb pinot noir but also is home to many distinctive white wines.
